you're probably not struggling to show up online because you lack discipline.
You're struggling because what you're putting out there doesn’t feel like you anymore.
If your photos feel outdated, disconnected, misaligned with who you are, it makes it hard to show up and fully embrace the next level you're stepping into.
That's why I don’t just capture what looks good, I help you create visuals that actually reflect who you are now, and where your business is going. As both a photographer and website designer, I’m always thinking beyond the image, imagining how it fits into your brand, your messaging, and the way you show up across your entire business.
When we're done our work together, you don’t just have beautiful photos.
You have visuals that speak before you ever say a word, bringing your ideal client into your world long before they step foot in the door.
Testimonials
"Not only has she provided me with the most beautiful pictures that I can use to build my business, but she has shown me simple tools and strategies over the past couple of weeks that have given me so much of my time back. She has been a sounding ear to bounce my thoughts off and has gave me ideas I never would have thought of on my own. As a mom trying to enter the business world she has truly made me feel heard and seen and like I have someone in my corner who gets it. I cannot recommend her enough."

The Embodied Brand Experience
Created with established businesses, teams, and clinics in mind, this experience goes beyond traditional brand photos to document the people, services, spaces, client experience, and details that make your brand what it is.
This is perfect for:
- wellness clinics
- therapists + psychology clinics
- beauty and skincare spas
- bookkeeping teams, virtual assistant agencies, and more
- product-based businesses who need a large bank of content
I most often see businesses choose The Embodied Brand Experience when they're launching or redesigning a website, growing their team, expanding their services, or have simply reached the point where a standard brand session can't capture everything they need.
With three hours together, we have the space to photograph multiple concepts, services, team members, client interactions, and locations while also capturing short-form video content throughout the experience.
The result is an expansive, cohesive content library designed to support your website, social media, ads, email campaigns, launches, recruitment, and ongoing marketing.
Includes:

PACKAGE 4
The Brand Subscription
For the business owner whose brand is continually evolving and knows one session won't carry her through everything she has planned.
Your Brand Subscription gives us the opportunity to build your visual brand together over the course of a year, rather than starting from scratch every time you need new content.
With 6 hours of shoot time, most commonly divided into four 90-minute Signature Sessions, we plan each session around what is actually happening in your business next. That might mean an upcoming launch, a new offer, seasonal content, updated website imagery, a shift in your messaging, or simply keeping your everyday marketing fresh and current.
Each session includes the same depth of photography and short-form video as a Signature Session, with the added benefit of ongoing creative direction, quarterly planning, and priority access to my calendar throughout the year.
Includes:
- Brand Blueprint Workbook
- Initial 60-minute brand planning + creative direction session
- 6 hours of photography per year, typically 4 × 90-minute sessions
- Quarterly creative direction + shoot planning
- Personalized shoot plan for every session
- 75 professionally edited images per session / 300 annually
- Short-form video content at every session
- Priority booking throughout the year
- Ongoing visual direction as your business evolves
Investment: $216 + GST per month
or $2600 for the year
For comparison, four individual Signature Sessions are valued at $3,400.
EDMONTON BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHER
what brand photography looks like when you work with me
You get someone who understands how to shoot brand photos that help you move the needle in your business.
You’ll walk away with:
• Imagery that truly embodies your brand
• Photos that are intentionally created for your website, social media, and marketing goals
• A creative guide rooted in strategy, clarity, and vision
• A warm, relaxed session experience, even if being on camera usually feels awkward
How to work together:
I. INQUIRE.
Request an Alignment Call to chat about your needs and I can help you decide.
II. ALIGNMENT CALL.
A complimentary no-pressure Zoom call where we get to know each other and make sure we're a perfect fit for your session.
III. BOOK.
Secure your session with your first payment and signed contract.
IV. BRAND STRATEGY.
We start with a Brand Strategy Questionnaire, and finish with a soul-rooted summary of your business, your goals, and how brand photography can support your next level. Next comes a photo session planning call to determine shots, props, styling, and locations.
V. SHOOT + CREATE.
This is where the magic happens. I’ll guide you every step of the way with gentle prompts and natural posing so you never feel lost or stiff.
Hey! I'm Marissa. A photographer and website designer based just outside of Edmonton. But that's not all—I'm a mom of two little boys, building a business in the middle of real life, just like so many of my clients.
My approach is different because I don’t just see what looks good, I see how your visuals need to function.
How they guide someone through your website, support your messaging, and ultimately help your business grow.
I know what it’s like to feel the pull for more… more freedom, more alignment, more purpose in the work you’re creating. That’s why I’m so passionate about working with women in business, especially the ones who lead with heart, ambition, and a quiet knowing that they’re meant for something bigger than just getting by.
My work isn’t just about photos. It’s about helping you see yourself differently. To recognize your growth, own your expertise, and feel confident showing up in your business as the woman you’re becoming.
Every session is rooted in both strategy and soul, so you leave not only with beautiful images, but with a deeper sense of clarity, alignment, and self-trust.
FAQ
Will I get enough content for social media and my website?
Yes, your session is designed with your actual content needs in mind. Most clients leave with enough images (and video, depending on the session) to support their website, social media, and marketing for months. I've had clients book an Embodied Brand Experience and use their images for a full year before returning for a Brand Refresh Session.
Do you offer brand photography in Edmonton and surrounding areas?
Yes, I'm based just outside of Edmonton and work with clients across Edmonton, Devon, Leduc, Spruce Grove, St. Albert, Sherwood Park and surrounding areas. Sessions can take place in-home, in your workspace, outdoors, or in a curated studio depending on your brand.
Where should I do my brand photo session?
That depends on your brand, your offers, and how you connect with your clients. I help you choose locations that feel aligned and also work strategically for your website, marketing, and content. We map this out in our pre-session planning phase. Any fees associated with the location are an additional cost to the client.
What makes your brand photography different?
I combine brand photography with website design and strategy, which means I’m not just capturing what looks good, I’m creating visuals that actually work for your business.
Your images are designed to support your website flow, messaging, and marketing, so you’re not left wondering how to use them after your session.
How do I know it’s time for brand photos?
If your current photos feel outdated, disconnected, or incomplete… it’s probably time. If you're struggling to find images to post, photos for Reel covers, or you're using generic stock photos from Canva... there's your sign.
Brand photography is about building trust with your audience before they see you in person.
Do you help with planning what photos I need?
Yes, every session includes intentional planning and creative direction. We map out what you offer, how you market your business, and what visuals will support that, so your images feel aligned and purposeful.
How do I know which session is right for me?
If you already have a foundational brand gallery, you're looking for a simple refresh or have a clear, focused need, the Brand Refresh is a great option.
If your brand has evolved, you offer multiple services, or you want a full bank of content for your website and marketing, the Embodied Brand Experience will give you the space to do that.
If you're in a growth phase, have seasonal offerings or promotions, and like fresh new visuals throughout the year, the Brand Photo Subscription is the right choice for you.
What’s the difference between the Brand Refresh and the Embodied Brand Experience?
The Brand Refresh is a shorter, 1-hour session designed for a quick update or specific focus.
The Embodied Brand Experience is a more in-depth session that allows us to capture your brand more fully, multiple offers, locations, and a complete content library with short-form video to support your business long-term.
Where would I use branding photos?
Your website, social media, email marketing, podcast cover, blog posts, Google business profile, business cards, and more.
What's the difference between headshots and a branding session?
A brand photo session tells your brand story. What makes you unique, special, and helps your audience connect with you. A headshot is a simple portrait, often on a plain background. There is a time and place for these images too, and we can incorporate some into your brand session if needed.
What's wrong with generic stock photos?
You've probably seen the photos I'm talking about in Google images when you search "woman typing at computer."
They're boring, re-used, and they don't show who you and your business are. Therefore, your business is going to look like all the rest.
Are there any additional fees?
Depending on location, a fee may apply. You may choose to have your hair and makeup done for your session.
My fee is for all stages of our work together including strategy and planning, time shooting at your session, creative direction, professional editing, professional gear, and over 10 years of experience.
I'm working with a marketing agency, can we include them?
Yes, absolutely! Some agencies provide creative direction or shot-lists when it comes to large campaigns they are helping you with. I love working with others and am open to collaboration.
Do you include video content?
Short-form video is included in the Embodied Brand Experience and Subscription sessions only. This gives you behind-the-scenes and lifestyle content you can use for Reels, TikToks, and Stories. The Brand Refresh does not include video, as there isn't enough time to capture both.
I feel awkward in front of the camera, will you help with that?
Absolutely. Most of my clients feel this way at first.
I guide you through the entire session so you don’t have to “perform” or know what to do. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself, because that’s what translates in your photos.
Do I need to have my brand fully figured out before booking?
Not at all. That’s part of what we work through together.
Whether you have clarity or you’re still refining things, I help guide you so your session reflects where you are now and where you’re going.
Why should I invest in brand photography?
Your visuals are often the first impression of your business.
Strategic, aligned brand photography helps you build trust, show up consistently, and attract clients who resonate with your work. Stock images and AI content breed mistrust, making people less likely to buy from you.
How often should I update my brand photos?
Most clients update their photos every 6-12 months, depending on how often their offers, messaging, or content needs change. That’s why many choose ongoing sessions or a subscription to stay consistent.
