About

PORTLAND   503.819.5958   |   PHOENIX   480.710.6135

I created This Is Life Photography to fuel my passion for creating unique images of everyday life. I believe deeply in the importance of family and feel blessed to be able to document special moments for my clients to forever cherish. I take a photojournalistic approach to photographing, capturing the true spirit of my subject. This Is Life Photography looks forward to meeting with you to discuss how I can capture your life's special moments.

Endorsements
I have worked with This is Life Photography in several different capacities (corporate holiday parties, weddings, personal) and her work continues to amaze me. Marisa catches the beauty and magic of all your special moments, even if you thought it was just a simple glance or casual embrace. Marisa is incredibly kind, efficient, prompt, and a pleasure to work with. She does everything she says she is going to do, she gets back to emails/phone calls right away, and will do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot. I could go on and on about Marisa and her beautiful work-she has a true gift and just keeps getting better! I highly recommend This Is Life Photography to anyone who has photography needs.
