TESTIMONIAL


"I first started working with Marissa for branding photos. I recall feeling nervous and tense. Getting photographed has always been a source of stress for me and I've rarely been impressed with the final product. However, that changed after working with Marissa. She was patient, calm, and easy to work with. She also provided some suggestions on clothing and makeup. I was surprised at how much fun and how relaxed I was during time. It really showed in the finished images which brought tears to my eyes - I didn't know I could look so good. Since this time, I have hired Marissa for family photos which were even more enjoyable and memorable. Marissa brings a fresh, yet natural focus to her art. Her ability to capture those precious moments is a true gift that can only come from the heart."


- Crystal, Holistic Health Coach

I had such an incredible time working with Crystal on this project. Her knowledge of herbs and oils is what I could only strive to have! She has a remedy for everything, and her kitchen shows it! We spent a few hours in her space just enjoying, creating, playing in the garden. It was truly a joy! Crystal is a Registered Nurse, certified meditation teacher, certified community herbalist, and Reiki practitioner in the personal development and holistic health world! She has a keen interest in psychology and trauma and can often be found reading up on alternative methods to mental wellbeing as she believes mental health, balance, and wellbeing affect every part of human life. She is a mother to a beautiful boy and enjoys spending her time teaching him the ways of life. Her happy place is in her garden among the flowers, bugs, and mud. To Crystal, the key to life is our capacity to connect and be with ourselves. She has developed a course that gives others the tools to connect with themselves for a more balanced and joyful life.
