I'm Marina,

IN SAINT AUGUSTINE, FL

a creative portrait photographer

Hi, friend! I’m Marina, a creative portrait photographer based in Saint Augustine, Florida. I create educational resources for photographers eager to find their style, make their work more creative, and reel in dream clients that trust their vision. 

Throughout my life, my obsession with creating has gone through different phases - from making magazine collages to sewing my clothes - to eventually discovering photography and pursuing it as a career.

After over 10 years of practice, studying photography in college, and working in-house for brands, I’m now lucky enough to bring my ideas to life as a full time portrait photographer, creating imagery for clients and for fun (just like you!).

If you’re feeling stuck, you’re in the right place. I know what it feels like to struggle with balancing your business, social media, and creativity. I’m here to help - I’ve created resources in pursuit of helping you on your path to running a photography business that fulfills you both creatively and financially. 

ABout Me

• You have the creativity to make amazing images, but struggle to get from ideas to execution?

• Your creative direction doesn’t turn out quite like you had hoped IRL?

• You need guidance on how to gain confidence in your business and technical skills?

• You crave feedback and community but feel like you're building your career in isolation?

• You’re lost in finding or reimagining your photography style?

• You love photography but aren't sure it's actually possible to turn it into something real?

Do you ever feel like...

Don't worry-

                         that was me too. But after 10+ years of running a photo business, I've created resources that can take out the guesswork for you.

let's get started.

Attend an event!

In-person events are a core part of how I connect with the photography community. Some are events I've built myself, like my Colorpop workshops and retreats, or free photowalks and meetups just for getting together and networking. Others are expos where I'm showing up as a speaker or teaching a one-day workshop with Canon. Either way, I love events because what happens in person is hard to replicate online.
