DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

 

 

Getting to photograph someone is personal, and I never take the trust behind it for granted. Whether we're spending an afternoon together for portraits or I'm documenting a gathering you’ve spent months planning, I want the experience to feel just as good as the photos you receive afterward.


Here are a few kind words from people I've had the privilege of photographing along the way.

 

KIND WORDS FROM GREAT PEOPLE.

We’ve trusted Marie with Nest Bedding’s photography for years, and one of her greatest talents is understanding the story behind what she’s photographing. She doesn’t just capture a beautiful shot, she listens to what we’re trying to communicate and finds a way to bring that vision to life through her photography. She has a fantastic eye for natural light, composition, and the small details that make an image feel intentional and authentic. Marie has a true talent for taking an idea or feeling and translating it into a photograph, and we’ve valued her creative eye for many years.

Marie is very talented. She is professional and positive. She has taken photos of us as a small family unit as well as our extended family photos (16 people at one time). She has handled all photo shoots with confidence and ease. We got amazing pictures in less than an hour shoot!

Marie has been so incredibly attentive in helping create a real vision at The Warehouse Fellowship just by simply showing up. She has an incredible eye for communicating the emotion of what's happening in the moment to a wonderful still-frame memory. She's easy to work with and always willing to do what it takes to get the right shot!

We've worked with Marie a few times in a variety of settings and have loved each one of our sessions! she's done family portraits for us, live music photography, and some for our church. Each time she captures the essence perfectly, no matter what we're going for! She's incredibly easy to work with, full of joy, and makes sessions so much fun.

Marie is a personal friend, but she’s also someone I genuinely trust to capture life’s most important moments. She has such a gift for making you feel comfortable and capturing the real magic in a moment. She recently photographed my husband and me with our sweet dog after we learned he would soon be passing from cancer. She captured such a difficult season so beautifully, and gave us photos we’ll treasure forever. And BONUS, he absolutely loved her, so she’s incredible with animals too!

Marie is a talented photographer and all around great person to hire!  She listens to the client in what they want and adds her own flare as well.  Her prices are reasonable and she works hard to make your session something special.  She tolerated all our wardrobe changes and included a bunch of ideas for us!  We had so much fun with her taking my daughters senior portraits... definitely recommend her for any of your photography needs
