I'm Marisa


Meet the photographer
Marisa Chappell Hossick in Joshua Tree National Park

I’ve been called a storyteller for as long as I can remember. It’s the word I return to again and again, because it captures how I see the world—and how I photograph it.


I’m drawn to meaningful moments: the quiet confidence of a senior on the edge of what comes next, the natural connection within a family, the shared energy of an event, or the presence and personality that come through in a professional portrait.


My work is rooted in collaboration and authenticity. I don’t aim for perfection—I look for what’s real. Genuine expressions, honest emotion, and images that feel like you, not a performance for the camera.


I specialize in senior portraits, family photography, event coverage, and professional portraits. I’d love to hear what you’re hoping to capture and talk about the story you want your photos to tell.
