For the wild at heart and the beautifully adventurous

I’m Marizza, and I’m here to help you hold on to the love, connection, and chaos that make your story yours.

I’m not just here to take your photo.

I’m here to see you.

I photograph mummas to be, fams and lovers who feel most at home in nature and who want their story told just as it is: real, unposed, and rich with meaning.

A little about me

I’m based in the mid-Blue Mountains, living on acreage with my fiancé Andrew and our furry friend Kaiser who keeps us on our toes in the best way.

What fills my cup? Hiking to wild places, swimming in waterholes, and simply being at home with the people I love. I’m equal parts homebody and explorer, always chasing a feeling more than a pose.

Your kiddos might still be asking, “Where’s Aunty Riz?” on the drive home and to me, that’s everything. I have a gentle, observant nature and a love for the quiet, in-between moments. The way your child reaches for your hand. That look between you and your partner when no one’s watching. The small things that mean the most.

The session experience

My sessions are slow, intentional, and designed to feel like you. Whether you're wandering through a waterfall trail with your little ones or soaking in the quiet joy of new motherhood, I’m there to gently guide and capture what’s already unfolding.

I’ll be there to help when you need me, and step back when you don’t. You don’t need to perform or prepare a perfect version of your life, just show up as you are. I trust your story to unfold the way it’s meant to, mess, beauty, and all.

I’m not here to pose you. I’m here to photograph you being you.

Let’s create something real

If this sounds like what you're after, if you’re ready to step into something a little wild, a little slow, and a lot heartfelt, I’d love to hear from you.
