learn more about merisa
I’m a Nova Scotia gal now living in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Living life with my sweetheart, Jarrid, our new baby, Jack, and our fur-covered baby named Rollo who likes treats, walks, and going to daycare to play with other people's fur-covered babies. My passion for creating led me here, and I can't wait to see how far the journey will go.
Let's get to know each other
Oh hey!
I'M MERISA
"Well what can we say about Merisa ... She was nothing short of FANTASTIC! She was very accommodating with booking, explained her plans in great detail, and even met for a coffee to meet us and get a feel of what we were trying to create for our branding. Once at the photo shoot it was such a comfortable environment. She made it extremely fun, running with our ideas and giving us her professional opinion as well. The end results were AMAZING! Great content, great quality!

"It was an absolute delight working with Merisa for my first ever branding photo shoot. I enjoyed her fun, easy going energy along with her great ideas and creativity. The pictures turned out great! I hope it's just the beginning of a wonderful B2B relationship."
"Outsourcing product photography has allowed me to focus on the things in my business that I enjoy and nobody else can do. I have Merisa complete creative freedom, and she gave me stunning photos to use on my website and social media. Working with Merisa is easy and has become one of my favorite business expenses."
" I did a branding session with Merisa earlier this year and it was simply amazing. I normally am not one to enjoy getting my picture taken but she made it so much fun and she made me feel so comfortable. She captured my personality, my brand and most importantly my silly side. We covered two different locations and the variety in the photos I received were second to none. Normally I am counting down the minutes until my photo sessions are finished, but this session was different and dare I say I actually enjoyed the whole experience. Very strange coming from a girl who dreads getting her picture taken and posing for photos. Merisa made it so easy. I was super impressed with the whole experience, including her professionalism, and the ability she had to capture who I am. I would highly recommend Merisa and am already looking forward to my next session. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed with both your images and the whole entire experience. "
