My dear friend Marissa is going to be launching her album in the coming months so she asked us if we would take some images for album and promo purposes. Marissa is what I like to call a Renaissance woman, she is brilliant at whatever she puts her mind to and her EP is going to be nothing shy of greatness.

I discovered Marissa had an incredible voice after months of singing way too loud to music while I edit... me? I am the person who wishes I was a singer, but alas. One day Marissa was singing right along with me and I noticed she was hitting really beautiful harmonies... something I have never been able to do. Marissa is so the type to not mention the fact that she has the voice of an angel and just let me casually sing my heart out in the worst way possible. She is just sweet like that. I suddenly felt a little silly with the new knowledge that I was singing among such talent.

Her songs are full of heart, soul, quirk, humor and a little romance.... very much like Marissa herself. They are simply beautiful. The record should drop sometime in the next couple of months and I'll do a post about it when it does so you can all get your hands on one. Just thought I would share a few frames from our shoot with Marissa a couple of weeks ago. She was the first person we ever shot in our home... it felt appropriate since she has such a special place in our hearts.
