A little about me
Hi, I'm Marisela! A mama to 3 little ones, wifey, foodie, and adventurer. I'm here on this big, blue earth to explore, inspire, & capture memories to pass on to all our future generations.
I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, moved to Flagstaff, then currently living in Camp Verde. I have a great appreciation for all things nature and the great outdoors, even the spiders but never the mosquitos!
Catch me with my camera in hand, always ready to get the shot!
How I found my passion
I graduated from ASU in 2013, lost and unhappy with the degree I settled with. I was working at a candy factory for about 6 years before working for the State of AZ as a public health sanitarian. I've learned so much, made great connections and will always appreciate food safety, but nothing beats being a mom.
I left my job with the state in 2021 to be a stay at home mom to my little babes.
It just made sense
I've always been the one to have my camera out, always the obnoxious one to stop everything and everyone to take a pic. It just took a while for me to realize I needed to be a professional photographer. I decided to project the same energy and excitement of capturing my own babies and family onto others in March of 2022. This was about a month after working with another local photographer for my elopement in February. *She completely inspired me (and gave me the push without her even knowing) to capture all these beautiful memories for others too. It was like all the puzzle pieces aligned as soon as she sent me that gallery link, my mind was blown.
After my epiphany, I decided to put all my energy into creating a small photography business specializing around babies, birth and the incredible experience of motherhood. I myself don't have many baby and childhood pictures and seeing how fast my own kids were growing, makes me so thankful that I was able to capture their newborn baby faces and their toddlerhood (even though I always cry every time I look back on their photos!). I look forward to capturing every milestone my children experience as they transition into adulthood and start their own family one day.
I find so much joy and fulfillment when I get the opportunity to do the same for other parents!
*P.S. I will ALWAYS recommend Melissa at Tangled Lilac for wedding & elopement sessions, check her out at tangledlilac.com.
