your life is beautiful and deserves to be documented

for the sunset lover

Listen, I’m fully invested! I want to know what moves you, what you find hilarious, what pieces of this season you want to freeze forever.

When you book a session with me, you get ALLLLLL of me! My time, my creativity, my clumsiness and lame jokes. We’ll laugh, we may cry (happy tears only!!) and we’ll probably end up being friends forever.

We embrace desert beauty here.
We rarely say “cheeeese!” for smiles.
We’re real and sometimes kind of a mess.

“With two young toddlers and a newborn, I was unsure how we were going to capture any good shots but Marina is so good at engaging and interacting with children. She has such a gift of capturing those candid moments effectively while making it playful and fun.”

the experience

There’s no mold you have to fit into, friend.

I’m here to capture your family’s love story in its truest form, whether that means dressing up in the flowy, boho dresses or you all wearing jeans and t-shirts because that’s what y’all feel most, well, YOU in. Because it’s not about my style or my aesthetic, it’s about your family memories that will be hanging in your living room and shared with your friends and family. I truly do not take that lightly.

My approach when taking your photos is very laid back and fun. I’ll guide you if you need a little help at the beginning, and then step back once you’re comfortable to be more of a fly on the wall as we just let the moments happen.

I see your family as if it were my own, and I do my best to document every detail, every in-between moment that as a mama myself I know you’ll want to hold in your heart.

I try not to heavily pose you or make you fit into any kind of mold. Instead I do my best to get to know you and your family well before your session through an in-depth questionnaire, and then by watching you just be yourselves during our time together. That way when you look back at your photos, it’s you and your family in your truest form. Loving like you love. Playing how you play.

It’s an honor to be able to witness it.
