Marcy is an astute branding photographer and I appreciate the level of care and attention she provided for my full day photoshoot! I felt taken care of from the beginning to the end, and my photos turned out absolutely beautiful. Marcy went above and beyond to capture the essence of my life and my brand. Thank you, and I highly recommend her services to anyone who is ready for a next level photography experience!

I reached out to Marcy to get photos for my company’s rebrand and shared my vision for what I hoped to achieve. She did a fantastic job of thinking through ideas and photo locations to execute this vision and took the time to get to know me and the story I wanted these photos to tell for the company. I was amazed at how she transformed my vision into reality and cared so much about representing my business in the way I wanted.

Marcy handled everything: booking the makeup artist, coordinating all the details, and brought in an assistant who helped curate outfits for both my coworker and me to complement each location — talk about attention to detail! The entire experience was high-level service from start to finish.

Leading up to the shoot, she sent all the details, including the schedule and locations, helpful tips, and even reviewed the outfits I’d chosen. The day itself was a treat — starting with makeup at her studio, capturing photos at her studio and around San Diego.

“I absolutely loved working with Marcy and was thrilled with the branding photos she did for me! I was (pleasantly) surprised to find it was a great experience, from beginning to end. She made the photo shoot fun and made me feel so comfortable by being positive, encouraging, and creative.

Her expertise, artistic eye, and direction were spot on.

And her marketing background was incredibly valuable as she took photos that I can use in many ways for my marketing. A true professional who is also a creative dynamo!”

“I had just started my business and needed photos. I didn’t know what kind of branding photos I wanted. Marcy made great suggestions regarding photos I would need, what to wear, and where to do our photoshoot.

Marcy coached me on how to pose for a variety of photos, it was like having a girlfriend or sister by your side. Marcy makes you feel like a star.

If you want beautiful, authentic photos, I recommend you work with Marcy!”

“Marcy is such a talented photographer! I hired Marcy to update my headshots for my lending business. Being in real estate, it is very hard to differentiate yourself… having a unique brand is the key. As Marcy says, it’s not any photo, it’s the PERFECT photo, and she knocked mine out of the park. My photos are unique, creative, colorful, and perfectly executed! Thank you Marcy.”

“Marcy is absolutely amazing! I needed professional pictures taken and edited in a very short time frame. The day of my photos was so much fun. Marcy, helped me feel confident, beautiful, and put me at ease. Her talent is obvious, just take a look at her work, but what makes Marcy so special is her personality! She is warm, bubbly, and authentic. I feel so lucky to have met Marcy, and I will use her for all my future photography needs!”
