FAQ
I don't know how to pose... is that okay?
YES!! Most people don't know how to pose without looking awkward (including me), so I will be giving you prompts and guiding you along the whole time.
What should I wear?
Whatever you feel comfortable and confident in. I always recommend going with more neutral colors such as sage green, navy blue, light pink... not just white and beige!! I also recommend staying away from multiple patterns and clashing colors. These can be distracting, and we want the focus of the pictures to be YOU!
How many pictures will I receive?
I don't put a limit on how many pictures I include in your gallery. A good rule of thumb is you can expect at least 1 picture per minute we're together.
How long will it take me to receive my photos?
My turnaround time is 2 weeks for most photoshoots! Minis are 1 week, and weddings are 4 weeks.
How will the photos be delivered?
I deliver galleries through my website, so you will receive an email with a link to view and download pictures from your gallery. (:
Are you available outside of Spokane?
YES!! I love to travel but traveling isn't cheap, so fees will apply.
Hi there! I’m Marissa, a lifestyle photographer based in Spokane.
I used to make my little brother and sister dress up and pose with random items in our backyard while I took their pictures on my Dad's old camera. Despite this, photography was never my "plan."
I've always been sentimental, but 2024 was the year I really wanted to focus on documenting more -- so naturally, I started camera shopping. My Dad let me borrow one of his for a family vacation and he never got it back.
