From grand celebrations to intimate elopements, both near and far, I’ve had the honor of capturing love stories of every scale and setting. With years of experience photographing diverse weddings around the world, I bring not only technical expertise but also a thoughtful, personalized approach to every couple I work with. No matter what your day looks like—whether it’s a lavish event or a quiet, heartfelt exchange—I’m here to preserve it with photos that will last a lifetime.
From proposals and save-the-date sessions to pregnancy announcements and maternity portraits, I specialize in capturing the milestones that define your journey together. These sessions are designed to celebrate love in all its chapters—creating timeless, heartfelt imagery that tells your story as a couple through every big moment in life.
From high school seniors to college graduates, I capture this exciting milestone with portraits that feel both timeless and full of personality. Whether it’s an individual session, a group celebration with friends, or incorporating meaningful memorabilia, every shoot is tailored to reflect your journey. From classic cap-and-gown moments to champagne pops and candid laughter, these sessions are all about celebrating who you are and the chapter you’re stepping into next.
My brand photography spans a wide range of industries and styles—from fashion bloggers, boutiques, and lifestyle brands, to luxury hotels and travel destinations, to personal branding sessions and dynamic influencer or pop-up events.
"Merissa captured photos that were gorgeous, timeless, and dreamy! When taking photos, Merissa has a professional presence, but also light and fun! She did an excellent job of listening to my ideas, but also going above and beyond to research and make suggestions in making my vision come to life!"
"I had such a fun and easy experience with Merissa. She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera that I didn't want my shoot to end. I have been planning to take my graduation photos with Merissa since my sophomore year at TCU, and I could not be happier with how my photos turned out."
"I took my senior pictures with her at TCU and she took the time to make sure that every pose was perfect and that the session was efficient, but comfortable. I'm typically not photogenic, but love the results of my solo shots. My best friend and I were also able to personalize our session to match our experience at TCU, and it turned out perfect. Bonus: she is the sweetest person EVER. 10/10 recommend her!"
