Marisa is a pleasure to work with and did an excellent job taking photos for our real estate team. She has an amazing attention to detail and makes sure that your photos reflect your branding. We highly recommend her for anyone who needs photos for their business (or any photos in general!).

Marisa is incredible, period. Replied super quickly for the setup of our appointment, and checked in with me to go over which commercial looks I'd like to shoot before we met, adding great suggestions alongside what my agency recommended. Her studio is so nice! Just make sure you pay attention to the directions she sends you (read 'em twice!) and you'll find it no problem. The natural light and gorgeous surroundings help you escape that LA go-go-go mentality, so you can relax enough to take some great photos. She offered me some snacks and tea, which was perfect for our morning appointment. And Marisa herself! So great to be around, her energy is welcoming, like you've already met her somewhere. She'll encourage you when you start to play around and is great at capturing genuine images, even in a realm as specific (and sometimes corny, haha) as commercial headshots. She's low pressure but knowledgeable too; she knows how to set up your shots, draw the eye to features you want to show off, all that. She's also big on keeping low costs, 'cause she knows how expensive it is to stay on top of everything you need to act out here, and I really appreciated that. Her retouch costs are also low, with a turnaround time of 5 days tops so picking my images and getting them fixed up was a breeze. Thanks again so much Marisa! I'm serious y'all, she's the real deal. I look forward to shooting with her again :)

She is amazing! Not only her work but as a person. Very professional and aware of different looks and needs from agents, managers and casting directors but also works with you and how you feel about things. It was all good vibes and great work. There ended up being so many diverse choices in photos and looks. Highly recommend!!!

I had a last-minute need for new professional headshots for a new role and Marisa was not only extremely accommodating (she did this on Valentines Day evening when she could have been with her hubby), she was very personable and great to work with. I had to meet her at night after a long day of work for both of us and she managed to make the experience very relaxing. I'm very happy about how the images turned out and highly recommend her.

Marisa is an AMAZING photographer all around! I am VERY happy with the results from my shoot!! Right away I felt very comfortable in her studio, making it easier to be natural during the photo process! She has very good techniques that help you look more authentic in your smile, and poses which was a big plus! She gives good feedback as she's taking photos of you also, so you can get an idea of how the shots are coming out. I already knew, from the photos she had on yelp, that I was really going to love her work, and I'm SO glad that I chose her services, because I really wanted these photos to come out good for my business cards, and websites. I'll definitely be using her services again and referring her to all my colleagues! Thank you so much Marisa!!

I needed business headshots for some new marketing material. I don't like taking many pictures but she made it so easy. The work came out great!! She definitely provides a lot of value.

We had a great experience with Marisa! Not only is she a delightful person but she's extremely talented! She instinctively knew what looks would go best with each backdrop. She also was able to capture my 15 year old niece at her best and frame each shot beautifully. Many of the pictures had an artsy feel (particularly the outdoor shots). Plus she's incredibly patient and accommodating, as well as reasonably priced! You can't go wrong with Marisa!

This is from an email I sent to Marisa and I had to post it here too because she is so awesome!!"I just wanted to let you know that I seriously LOVE these photos. Wow!! I sent to my reps but haven't heard back yet. And frankly, f**k them anyway, the important thing is that I love them. :) You are a fantastic photographer, I loved everything from the planning session, to the shoot, to your follow up email with instructions. You are on top of it!! And you helped me be on top of it too!!"

I had a wonderful experience with MarisaQ photography. I am an actor and found her branding consultation so helpful. Marisa assembled my looks beautifully with wardrobe, light makeup, and backgrounds. You can immediately see, just by walking into her flawless space, how gifted she is at creating an image. I also appreciated the relaxing and fun vibe she created with music, tea, and snacks. She has a lovely personality, so the session was incredibly enjoyable. I particularly liked how many different looks she was able to create, and her ability to make my eyes really pop. Her backgrounds are complimentary and not too busy. My agent had asked me for some additional looks and loved the work Marisa did. I'm a happy customer and totally recommend MarisaQ!

Marisa doesn't just shoot headshots! She has a truly skilled eye at capturing dynamic moments and making you look your absolute best while doing it all. She has taken some beautiful, stylized photos of me in action working as a sommelier and at private events for my food & beverage company. Her technical photography abilities are amazing, but they don't outshine her generous heart and honest curiosity of all the little lovely things in life. All of that is apparent in the end result. And she'll always go above and beyond to get the best shot. That magical shot. Any time I need photos of events or of myself for press or websites, I always call her. I trust her implicitly to get an incredible photo and then make it a stunning and high-impact image.

Wow! I am really impressed with my new shots by Marisa Q Photography! I'm a marketing professional, and needed a shot for our company website. Marisa made the whole experience really comfortable, laid-back, and yet incredibly professional. From first email contact & a complimentary strategy call, to the execution of the actual shoot and delivering the final product, Marisa really impressed me with her attention to detail, skill, and professionalism. I would highly recommend her services - especially for those who might not be naturally comfortable in front of the camera, trust her - you're in good hands!
