Candid Moments
Documenting romantic and joyful moments in the most dreamy natural light.
Whether you just got engaged in downtown Chicago after a romantic dinner at Maple and Ash, eloping to a dreamy exotic location, needing family portraits after your proposal on Chicago’s North Avenue Beach, celebrating your one-year wedding anniversary with your husband, or expecting your first child, you came to the right place!
Hey there!
I’m Marissa,
A mom, wife, and Chicago photographer, and believer that LOVE IS LOVE. (she/her pronouns). I have had a camera in my hand since I was 13 and haven’t put it down since.
If I am not working you can usually find me adventuring around the any downtown city, taking our daughters to Disney or New York City, getting on a good camping trip, or humming along to a musical.
We are from the Chicagoland area in Illinois. We just relocated back to the Chicago Suburbs after being away for 6 years. We recently welcomed a new addition to our family this last summer. I serve Chicago, the Western Suburbs, Rockford and am always up for a traveling adventure to capture a memory for you.

I’m the photographer you’ve been looking for! I believe that love is love, no story is too small to tell and most of all kindness is my jam!
My documentary approach to photography in the Chicagoland area will give you images that capture the moment, the honesty, and all of the amazing times surrounding your wedding or photography session.
The Experience
I believe that every couple has a story to tell and I would love to tell yours. Choosing the right photographer is very important because after your wedding day the only things you will have left are your memories and photographs! At the end of the day; your cake will be eaten, the flowers will wilt but the photographs you have will last a lifetime.
