I’ve known Marika for more than 10 years already. She has done multiple photo sessions for my family, senior pictures of my husband’s daughters, and most recently, senior pictures of my 18 yo son! It always amazes me how creative and artistic she is. I truly admire her dedication to self-improvement! Throughout these years, she has attended numerous courses, professional conferences, and workshops. She’s constantly learning something new and always striving to grow and master new skills.
Marika is a true professional—100%! Yet she’s also friendly, easygoing, and fun to be around. She creates such a welcoming work environment that even my son, who I usually have to beg to take a single photo, became surprisingly cooperative. I mean, he changed his outfit three times, was eager to pose and smiled a few times! I highly recommend Marika to my family, friends, and anyone who appreciates working with professionals and wants to get not only the best results, but also the best memories of their loved ones!

” We live in Massachusetts and go on vacation to Williamsburg area every year. Our daughter decided she wanted her senior pictures done while in Virginia. I searched and found Marika. She was professional and amazing to work with. Marika alway shad a smile on her face and made the process seamless. She took the time to get to know my daughter and included her in every part of the process. My daughter’s portraits came out amazing and it was so hard to choose which ones we liked the best. Whether you are local or from miles away in another state, like us, I highly recommend working with Marika H. Photography for any of you photography needs. We are so happy we found her.“

” We had the best experience working with Marika H. Photography for my daughter’s senior photo portraits. Marika really prepares for a photo shoot by getting to know her clients. She helped my daughter select wardrobe pieces that made her feel comfortable and beautiful. Based on my daughter’s preference for backdrops, Marika scouted out a variety of locations in Williamsburg. At the photo shoot, Marika made my camera-shy daughter feel comfortable. Even the wardrobe changes were discreet and professional. After the session, the photos were available for review in a timely manner. It was hard to make our selections because there were so many great ones to choose from! Marika is organized and prepared. She communicates well and has an eye for detail. My daughter followed Marika on Instagram @marikahphotography for several years before her senior year and it was there we saw the quality of her work, artistry, style, and experience. We opted to hire a hair and make-up artist and it minimized stress for me on the day of the shoot. From my first inquiry to the delivery of the portraits, Marika was professional and respectful of our time. I highly recommend Marika H. Photography.“

” I am so happy we found Marika!!! I searched for a while and she did not disappoint! We live in Suffolk and my daughter wanted some different shots than just the basic senior portraits. Marika took her time with everything from start to finish, was professional and really cared! The images turned out ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and it was so hard to choose from all the different ones. I will be using Marika for all of our professional portrait needs going forward!!!!!!!!!“

“Marika H Photography was the perfect choice for our daughter’s senior pictures. The entire process was well communicated, organized and executed. Marika provided a lot of information in our initial phone call and then promptly emailed follow-up information. She came to our home to discuss the process and show examples of her beautiful work. She talked with our daughter about what she wanted from her session such as backgrounds and locations. Marika helped her choose the best outfits based on the style of pictures she wanted as well as what photographs well. Marika found the best locations that had many spring blossoms and sent those locations to us a couple days before the session. The day of the session ‘Mane and Cheek’ did my daughter’s hair and make-up and were on site to do touchups and changes. Marika and her team were very efficient and professional but most importantly did amazing work and made my daughter feel special. The hardest part was choosing which photographs to buy as they all turned out beautifully. Marika has a wonderful eye and a strong attention to all details throughout the process. We strongly recommend Marika H Photography. “

” From the very start, we knew that we were making the right decision in choosing Marika for our daughter’s senior portraits! Our initial telephone conversation where she expressed a sincerely genuine interest in our project made us feel confident and excited for our daughter’s upcoming photo session. She met with Morgan prior to the shoot getting to know her and her personal interests and requests. She supplied a lovely organizational packet full of great tips designed to help with decisions on clothing, makeup, hair, and so much more. On the “big day”, Marika and her team were wonderful in making Morgan feel and look fantastic! Her hard work and attention to detail resulted in a photo session that ran smoothly and was so much fun for our entire family! We absolutely love the finished product, and will always cherish the wonderful collection of portraits as well as the memories of our special day. Thanks Marika! “

” Marika took my daughter Mackenzie’s senior pictures. I cannot say enough about what a positive and wonderful experience this was for my daughter. Marika met with Mackenzie several times before the day of her photo shoot. Not only did this aid Mackenzie in selecting outfits and locations, it gave them the opportunity to get to know each other, which made Mackenzie much more comfortable during her session. On the day of the session, Mackenzie felt like a movie star or professional model. Marika’s team was incredibly supportive and encouraging. When I viewed the photos I was amazed. Marika managed to capture the beauty that I see in my daughter. Marika is both a creative and skilled photographer. I cannot wait to have her take my younger daughter’s photos. “

” I took my senior photos with Marika H Photography and my experience was fantastic! Marika is incredible at what she does and has top notch equipment to match her skill level. In addition to knowing the perfect areas for specific pictures, she also knew exactly how to position my body and what color schemes worked for the picture to be the best it could be. Marika was also prepared for any situation, having a portable cover so I could change clothes and a reflector for the times there wasn’t enough light. She wasn’t only professional, but also couldn’t have been friendlier throughout the photoshoot and made me feel comfortable even though I don’t usually like having my picture taken. I couldn’t have asked for a better senior photoshoot and I urge anyone looking for a photographer to hire Marika, she’s amazing! “

The choice of settings, shot variety, and use of natural light and colors made the pictures genuine and vibrant. We highly recommend Marika to anyone looking to capture photos of teens and tweens. “
