La Costa Living Magazine | Maddox Family | San Diego Portrait Photographer

I photographed Gayle Mestel and her son, Ethan, for the La Costa Living Magazine’s May issue at their home in Carlsbad, CA. I asked them what they liked to do together at home and they both answered that they loved to play table tennis together. So of course I had to get shots of them…

Read More30 Days of Gorgeous | Marcy Browe Photography | San Diego, CA
I believe that every woman deserves the opportunity to feel beautiful. The reality is that, as women, we don’t always feel amazing in our own skin. We all know that magazines and advertisements often distort the concept of beauty. However, I’m looking to show that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Beauty can increase…
Read MoreMy Personal Philosophy on Re-Touching Photos
Ok, people, let’s talk about Photoshop. Re-touching, air brushing, a digital facial … whatever you call it, the power of Photoshop in the right hands can be etherial. But if your re-toucher over-uses Photoshop it can make your photos look very un-natural. Fake, dated, blurry, altered, cartoonish … these are NOT words you want people…

The Powers family traveled from all corners of the country to gather in Oceanside to celebrate their mother / grandmother’s 80th birthday.

Read MoreHeadshot portrait session | Rex Hindrichs | Marcy Browe Photography – San Diego, CA
“Tough guy”, “Thug”, “Menacing”. These are the types of characters Rex Hindrichs is looking to get casted for. Although when you meet him, that’s not at all what comes across in his warm, gentle personality. And then … he switches into character. He drops his smile and stares at you through his lowered brow and immediately…

Read MorePortrait session | Katelynn | San Diego Portrait Photographer
I asked 17-year-old Katelynn when she felt most beautiful, and she answered “I feel most beautiful when I’m comfortable in what I’m wearing and how I look”. Yes! I love that answer. And I agree that being comfortable in your own skin allows you to ooze confidence and that is the pathway to feeling…
Read MoreFamily portrait session + video | Stabler Family | Oceanside, CA | Marcy Browe Photography
When I photograph families with little kids, I LOVE interviewing them on video. I ask them to tell me their age and their name (or in this case, four-year-old Finely gave me all of her names: Finley Ella Adeline Stabler!) And I ask the kiddos to tell me what they love about their mom and dad — which…
