Hi, I’m Marissa Nelson…

Marissa Ann Photography was born in November 2024 from a beautiful mix of mom life, love stories, and a deep love for all things chic and vintage—think soft film grain, timeless tones, and real emotion over stiff poses.

I’m based in Luverne, Minnesota, and always up for travel (just a small fee for events over 100 round‑trip miles). This blog reflects the past year of growth—capturing golden hour in open fields, first looks down quiet trails, and all the behind-the-scenes moments that shaped my work. It’s a look into the places that inspire me, the people I’ve met, and the honest storytelling behind the new Marissa Ann Photography. This rebrand isn’t a change—it’s a reveal of who I’ve been all along.
