About

Hi, I'm Marissa Barrett


I've been using a camera since I was 14 years old and decided around five years ago that this was the life for me. There is nothing I love more than a good love story. I've always been a hopeless romantic, and that is what partially led me to have a passion for capturing the small moments between people. For me, it is ALL about the moments.

 

I've had a lot of moments in my life that were turning points and shaped my decisions. Starting a business was one of those. I said being a hopeless romantic was only part of the business foundation. The other half is my experiences. I believe our moments in life shape us into who we are. Good and bad. And I'm here to document the ones that are most important to you. 

The small looks exchanged between couples, when you hold your child as tight as you can, the tears in your grandmas eyes as she watches you walk down the aisle. Capturing those moments and freezing that time of life is so precious. Cherishing the memories and looking back on your wedding, your kids, your lover, your pets, your friends, and even yourself. That's a gift you deserve to preserve and hold onto forever.
