“The true value of a photo is not understood until years after it was taken.” Unknown author
“Marika did an amazing job with the headshots she took for my professional portfolio. I was looking for someone who could make something traditional and formal look fresh and unique. It was truly a pleasure working with Marika, because she was very professional, knowledgeable, and nice throughout the entire process. She took into consideration all of my preferences and concerns and went an extra mile to make sure that I like how the photos come out. Marika did an awesome job, and I really couldn’t be happier!”

She had a knack for good positions and locations in which to take photos and the pictures turned out beautifully! The editing is also amazing. I have never been a photogenic person, but I thought Marika’s pictures of me were great!”

“Marika is a wonderful photographer with a true eye for great pictures! She is very kind and professional, yet makes you feel comfortable when posing. I’m so glad that she was able to take my senior pictures for me. Truly fantastic!”
Maggie
“I took my senior photos with Marika 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!”

I am not a huge fan of taking pictures, but I wanted to add a new, more professional look to my online presence. Working with Marika was a great experience; she made me feel pretty comfortable and relaxed. She was enthusiastic about finding the best angles, poses and light. Marika was prompt, efficient and I was impressed with her creativity and passion for photography. I couldn’t be happier with the results; the quality of the digital images I got and the service were top-notch. I am looking forward to working with her again as my business grows. I recommend Marika H Photography to anyone searching for a professional photographer.”

“Marika H is a wonderful addition to the professional photography scene in Williamsburg and Hampton Roads. She first did family portraits for us, and we were so pleased we had her do individual portraits of our teen girls and headshots for me. She is such a pleasure to work with and does super work. I’m loving my headshots, including my portrait pic and many others.”
Jim
“Marika did a great job working with our 13-year old and 11-year old. She made them comfortable and cooperative while making the entire experience fun. Her pictures captured their personalities. 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.”
Adnana, Hana & Alem’s mom
