Client Success Stories

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!”

If you’re looking for some great portraits that truly capture your essence, look no further. Marcy is such a gem with a passion that just oozes out while she works. I felt so comfortable with her and was able to just let my heart shine.

It’s our 1 year van-iversary!!!

My husband and his dad and I created this van with Brendan from @gone_mobile_vans and we couldn’t be more stoked to be living the #vanlife

Before having our dream van, we rented 19 different RVs and camper-vans. We learned a lot, and began dreaming of our perfect van.

Rick and I were super clear on what we wanted: a small van that was uber simple but effortlessly comfortable and durable for our outdoorsy lifestyle. ✨🚐

I also manifested a van that I could use on photoshoots, as a mobile changing room and makeup station. 🤩🥂📸

Mission accomplished.

2024 has been the year where we lived our Van-tasy (sorry, the van puns are endless!)!

Currently we’re on a van trip to Scottsdale. We just arrived at the most gorgeous desert campsite, where we’ll celebrate Christmas. 🤶 🌵 🧑‍🎄🚐

Hands down, the most epic location for team photos

Hands down, the most epic location for team photos, for the Emerald Real Estate Partners team. We got access to the helicopter pad on the rooftop of Emerald Plaza, overlooking San Diego Bay.

This team manages this incredible property, we did headshots in their beautiful lobby and ended the day with a foggy rooftop team photo.

Every part of this property has stunning views of downtown San Diego, who wouldn’t want to work here?!!!

Every year I’ve documented this family. My dear friend Beth has raised 2 bright, beautiful, bold kids and I love watching them grow up. I especially love holiday card season because it’s a reason to document family bonds and to be a witness to each persons exact moment in time.
Cheers to you @bethstablerable for being a wonderful mother and friend to many.

This team from Edward Jones had me cracking up as I listened to how they interacted with each other. At the end of their photoshoot I asked them to make this reel with me. We all were howling with laughter after each take.

Thanks Amber and Mason for demonstrating how to NOT act during a team photoshoot.

Contrary to what you see here, this team has one of the warmest and most heartfelt partnerships. Mason brought Amber into his firm several years ago and she has won awards for being a super star in their industry. He’s so supportive of her and values her opinion and her contribution to his financial planning business. This chemistry and mutual respect shines through when you are with them. Their clients are lucky to have them!!!

When your friends request an awkward family photo,

When your friends request an awkward family photo, here’s what you get!

Lauren, Cassidy and Stacy came to me with several ideas, each one awkward and funny. We did these photos at the Oceanside Harbor and at Buccaneer Beach. I laughed the entire time!!!

These 3 lives together for the better part of 2024, so they wanted to capture this vibe for their holiday card.

Lauren and Cassidy are married, and Stacy is their friend from their Marine Corps days.

Happy Thanksgiving from Pee-wee Herman (who photos

Happy Thanksgiving from Pee-wee Herman (who photoshopped his face over mine. And I couldn’t be more delighted about this)

This is a stock photo I created and posed for in 2005, when I was selling stock photography. Someone took this photo and made the turkey huge (ok sort of funny…) but then Pee-wee did his magic and made it truly hilarious. Not just his photoshop job, but the glee in which he shared this photo every year. Since he’s no longer with us, I post this for him today!! @peeweeherman

Combine business with pleasure… book a photoshoot on your trip to San Diego.

It’s always a lovely day in “America’s Finest City”

Thank you for this beautiful voiceover, Adele!! 💕💕 When photographer @byadelephotography posted a reel promoting “combining business with pleasure” in Mallorca, I asked her to make a voiceover for me, in her dreamy French accent. So, basically I stole her idea and she generously helped me!!! I appreciate the spirit of collaboration we’ve created in the @kelseymkurtis ELEVATE group. 🥂
