Introduction
📸 Your Perfect Moment, Captured Just for You! 🌟 When I was 11 years old, my father gifted me my first camera. I have taken that passion through arts school, across oceans, and around the world.

Book your session today and so we make some magic happen! ✨ 🎨 Why Choose Me? • Arts School Trained: With formal education in photography, I have the skills to bring your photos to life. • Personalized Posing: My background in modeling gives me a unique understanding of how to guide you with flattering poses for all body types. – body positivity is key; love yourself no matter what, and if you don't, I'll help you get there. • Inclusive & Welcoming: Everyone is welcome – this is a safe space to celebrate who you are! 🌈 Services: 🏠 Studio at Home: Want a cozy shoot without leaving your house? I’ll bring the studio right to you! Or, if you prefer a more natural vibe, I also specialize in outdoor family photoshoots. 💍 Engagement Sessions (Including Surprise Proposals!) Say yes to unforgettable memories! Whether you’re looking to capture a sweet, romantic engagement session or plan the perfect surprise proposal (where I stay hidden to catch the magic as it happens without giving away the surprise), I’ve got you covered for those once-in-a-lifetime moments. 💖 Self Love Shoots (Boudoir) Let’s celebrate YOU!

We haven’t even seen the photos yet as our wedding was only a couple of days ago, but we couldn’t wait a moment longer to leave a review for Marilyn — she was absolutely incredible on our wedding day. From the moment she arrived (early, of course!), Marilyn was fun, professional, and completely committed to capturing every moment with care and creativity. She had such a natural way of blending in while somehow being everywhere at once — always in the right place, anticipating the moments before they happened. Beyond her talent behind the lens, Marilyn brought such a warm, joyful energy that made her a true pleasure to have with us. She felt like a friend from the start — always gently guiding us when needed, and adding to the positive, happy atmosphere of the day. Marilyn, we loved every second with you. Thank you for being such a special part of our wedding. We cannot wait to see the photos!

We had such a wonderful experience with our photoshoot! It is very rare for all my grandchildren to be together so we wanted to capture the kids at this very young age (six kids from 8 years to 3 months) and Marilyn did a fabulous job. The kids thought it was all a very fun game. We were in a small space with too many people but she was wonderful, enthusiastic, very creative. Can’t wait to get my photos! I highly recommend!
