Heartfelt words 

Not only did she make the moment special, but she made us feel like family. She was quick with getting the completed photos to us, and super duper nice. She was great and so patient with our wild little 3 year old. Her work is so beautiful and the best I've ever had when getting pictures done. I will be happy to do business with her again. Thanks again Marissa! -Destiny U.

Marissa has a wonderful way of making everyone feel heard, understood and comfortable! She put so much care and attention into my photoshoot before she took any photos. She takes careful steps to make sure your personality shines through and that you are left with a variety of poses and backgrounds in the final photo set. Her photos are great quality and have a natural and vibrant color quality. If you are not super comfortable with having your picture taken OR have something specific in mind you’re not sure how to do please reach out to her for photos! She will not disappoint 😊-Molly G.

There aren’t enough words for this review to tell you how amazing Marissa was to work with and the pictures she produced for us. I was looking for a photographer to take updated sibling pictures which included our 2 dogs. Marissa didn’t hesitate when I reached out, it’s clear she has a passion for capturing these moments for families. From the moment we arrived, it was clear we were in good hands. Her patience is beyond this world (our 2 dogs were wild animals the day of the shoot), I can only imagine she’d be a champion with kiddos too. She even included our significant others in a few pictures, which was totally unexpected but such a wonderful and thoughtful moment. I received our pictures within a few days and I am absolutely obsessed.

I would recommend Marissa for any setting of pictures, you will NOT be disappointed. Worth every penny, 100%! - Sydney L

Marissa Bales made Tyson Combs Senior picture photo sessions so much fun! We had no idea how much fun it would be, Tyson is still talking about the great time he had with Marissa. She produces fabulous photos that captures every detail of her subject as well as surrounding beauty of the backgrounds. I HIGHLY recommend Marissa Bale's Photography...10 stars + 🤩- Melanie S.

The sweetest, kindest, and professional lady. Took the best photos of our little man 🥰

Marissa is AMAZING. Truly one of the best photographers around. She's very friendly, professional, and her photos are high quality. She will DEFINITELY be taking photos for us again! -Kayla M.

Highly recommend using Marissa as your photographer! Not only is she talented with transforming your pictures, she is also intuitive of your needs during the session. She made each photo feel more like a moment rather than a pose. She was incredibly patient and consistent. Her communication was top notch, too. All things that are so important to make an incredible photographer and experience! -Sarah E.

Absolutely loved Marissa! She is truly the sweetest and has such an amazing personality. Her photos were just as amazing as she is, definitely check her out for your photography needs!! -Lydia W.

Marissa is one of a kind! She made the whole experience so special and effortless for us. We have already booked our next shoot with her! Highly recommended! -Amy S.

When the right person is shooting your photos it makes such a difference. Marisa’s professionalism was consistent throughout the experience. The forms, questionnaires, ,and text communications let me know she was not only interested, but she was invested in my vision/ideas for the photos. Her site’s security left me confident that the info for this shoot (and a future boudoir shoot) would be secure. Marissa is so patient and gracious. When I realized that I’d be running late, she was understanding and pleasant when I arrived! We completed the shoot with the time we had left and it was so much fun! With the creativity Marissa has I’m confident that the world is her studio!

We got great engagement and wedding photos from Marissa! She was easy to schedule, and the photos were great quality! We got a sneak peak within about two days of a few of the photos, and within a week we got most of the rest already! Overall we would highly recommend her for photos! -Alex S.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our recent fall photoshoot experience! Marissa captured the most precious moments between my 3.5-month-old daughter and me, and every picture radiates warmth and love. From the very start, she made us feel comfortable and took the time to capture all the little details that make this season so special. She was incredibly patient with my baby, and her talent for finding perfect lighting and angles is unmatched. I’ll treasure these photos forever and highly recommend Marissa for anyone wanting to create beautiful family memories! -Carrie G.

Marissa did such an amazing job with my birthday photos! I absolutely love them! I love her creativity, work ethic, and attention to detail. Thrilled with her work and I am thankful that she made turning 40 look GUD! -Coya T.

Other than knowing Marissa as one of the kindest and genuine people in this tainted world, She is truly committed to her client shining through her art of photography. Marissa cares about her client being comfortable and true to their vision. She simply doesn’t know a stranger because her heart is pure and everyone can see it through the pictures she composes with her client. I recommend her to anyone and everyone. I WILL be scheduling more sessions. Angela W.

Marissa definitely overdelivered and exceeded my expectations for our photoshoots! She is so professional and personable. I instantly felt comfortable around her and my daughter loved her. We had so much fun! You can tell Marissa is passionate about capturing special moments and letting everyone's personalities shine. I just can't recommend her enough! -Harley J.

Marissa has a heart of gold & captured so many amazing pictures of me & my husband! We had a great time & I loved how many creative ideas she had! Not only did she capture "perfect shots", but she caught genuine moments and I love that. I can't wait to get them printed & put in frames around my home! -Breanne B.

She was super sweet throughout the entire 30 minute session and she helped a lot! I had a lot of fun taking photos with her! Zion N.
