hey there! 

My name is Marissa, Owner and Lead creative here at Elmwood [est. 2016]
I have spent many years balancing motherhood, wife life, home educating, homesteading and of course- photography.

Elmwood is rooted in the Midwest and available wherever your milestones take you. Built on years of experience and a love for honest, artful storytelling. Elmwood’s style is a little eclectic, a little romantic, and very real. Think rich color, natural light, and those candid, blink-and-you miss-it moments that end up being everyone’s favorite. the goal is always the same: to create images that feel like the real you.

You may be thinking “But we are so awkward!” You’re my ideal client! I help the most awkward individuals look the most cool
