How do you treat yo’self?

How do you treat yo’self?

How do you treat yo’self? Do you love flowers in your office? A fine bottle of Scotch? I am partial to  fancy candles in vintage jars, red wine, and some bomb ass take out!  I'd almost always say a bath, but sadly I don't have one at this moment. That said, I miss the...

Release your attachment to form

Release your attachment to form

All structures are unstable. I find myself always coming back to this statement.  Letting go of the attachment to form is the beginning of creating the unlimited reality you wish for. I think now more than ever there is so much fear of the unknown. So many of us have...

I do naughty nicely

I do naughty nicely

Half of me is filled with bursting words and the other half is painfully shy. I crave solitude yet also crave people. I want to pour love into everything. I want to live in the rush of primal, intuitive decision, yet also sit and contemplate, breathe, feel everything....

How a Photoshoot changed my life

How a Photoshoot changed my life

  How a Photoshoot changed my life As a child, I was super reserved. I was very shy and even at home alone or even with just my mom I did not like to be naked. I was tall, slender, and my mother was always telling me beautiful I was but when I looked in the...

Your ego ain’t your amigo!

Ok, hold up! What does your ego have anything to do with Boudoir Photography?! The average woman looks in the mirror and has something critical to say about her body! Literally this is ridiculous and yet it’s so true.

For once the tables have tuned. It’s nice to be in a niche that women are mostly dominating and it’s not because of our gender.
We all know the stories in which tech giants like Google and Facebook lament about the gender gap and pay inequality. 1:1 gender ratio is the big goal for most industries. It is a problem in Boudoir Photography as well. But, here female

Boudoir objections

Boudoir objections

How can I be more honest, and vulnerable?
Being a boudoir photographer I have learned a lot about women and I have seen many transform right in front of my eyes. It can happen so fast. Once we let go of the fear, allow ourselves to be vulnerable, love our bodies and embrace our unique beauty, a new woman emerges, a new lightness of being emerges.

Rebirth – A Love Story

Rebirth – A Love Story

She did the scary thing. She broke a heart, quite her job, moved out from a place she loved, said goodbye to friends, and all the things she thought two weeks ago were so important. 

She took a leap of faith.

A place where all could go right or wrong. She left what was secure, status quo, and stable. She trusted her instincts, her innate knowingness, took her life by the balls plucked the courage and she did it. She fucking did it.

This could be you…

Just absolutely awesome! Marisa is truly talented and such is a great person. She made my first experience doing a boudoir photoshoot super comfortable and fun. Before even meeting Marisa she was so helpful with contacting me via email with tips for the shoot, recommendations for lingerie, etc. We even spoke over the phone to get to know one another. All I can say is Marisa is wonderful and I hope to work with her again. I truly enjoyed my time spent with her. -Annie
