Photos by Marissa
It all began when I started to catch feelings for photography growing up.
One of my most treasured things was getting together with friends and family and looking at old photos. There was always a story behind each one and watching the people close to me smile, laugh, and cry as they re-lived those memories, has always brought me joy. As my passion grew I discovered that I was giving that same feeling I loved. Capturing moments and milestones that will bring you back to a time that you hold close to your heart.
And It was then I knew I had fallen in love with photography and have continued to love it ever since.
I was born and raised in North Vancouver surrounded by the city skyline, mountains, and ocean. But Kelowna has always been my second home.
It’s the place my family and I frequented during the summer and it is where some of my most cherished childhood memories were made. So it was in 2013 that I made the move to the Okanagan permanently. I am a cat mom to a very fluffy cat named Dede who always keeps me company as I edit my photos.
When I am not taking photos you’ll find me staying active through hot yoga, strength training, and enjoying the beautiful Okanagan wilderness.
I will always bring openness and inclusivity to all my sessions so you can feel confident and comfortable being your authentic self. I welcome those that identify as LGBTQIA2S+ and beyond.
