Let me start off by saying, thank you for being here! I'm Klarissa, the Virginia photographer behind Klarissa Lissette Photography. When I first picked up a camera in 2017, I knew I didn’t want to create cookie-cutter images—I wanted photos that really stood out, that told stories, and captured true personality.
Fast forward to now, and when a brand client tells me that my photos helped her connect with her audience, or when a bride says she can’t stop looking at her wedding photos, I feel like I’m living the dream.
Think of me as your personal hype woman behind the camera, here to make you feel confident, comfortable, and totally celebrated. That’s my promise, every time.
Why choose me?
For me, it’s not just about the image; it’s about the experience. Like when you’re at your favorite local coffee shop, your laptop open, a notebook filled with ideas, and a cup of coffee just waiting to be sipped. We’re capturing the vibe of a busy, entrepreneurial morning that reflects you—someone who's building something amazing.
Or like the way a bride twirls in her dress, her eyes twinkling with excitement, and the way the room feels when the vows are exchanged—it’s those real moments I live for. Those are the things that make me get out of bed every morning. I’m here for the real stuff. The messy moments, the quiet ones, the ones that make your heart skip a beat.
As a proud Swiftie, I’m always ready to belt out every song and rewatch the Eras Tour movie like it’s my full-time job. I’ve recently found a new groove—collecting Taylor Swift vinyls and spinning them while I clean. It's like having my own personal concert, and honestly, if you’re not dancing to her tunes while tidying up, are you really even doing it right? Catch me on any given day and ask my favorite Taylor Swift song. Just know, it’s impossible to choose just one!
I’ve been singing along to Taylor Swift lyrics since 2009 and have seen her in concert 9 times (and counting)!
I’m also a proud dog mom to a Shiba Inu (and stoked to be adding a golden retriever to my home very soon!). In my down time, I’m embracing my role as an auntie, loving on my nieces and nephews with all the fun and chaos that comes with it.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me traveling, journaling, or diving into educational podcasts that fuel my motivation.
No meal is complete without something sweet, so you’ll definitely catch me indulging in ice cream with sprinkles. Or if I’m in the mood for a little adventure, I’ll swing by Chick-Fil-A for a chocolate milkshake—because why not?
On days when cooking feels like too much, I’m all about grabbing a slice (or two) of pizza and devouring it while watching a true crime documentary or binging Love is Blind.
It’s about creating an experience where you can be yourself, have fun, and walk away with images that truly feel like you. Whether I’m documenting your wedding day, bringing your brand to life, or capturing your personality in a portrait session, my goal is always the same: to make you feel amazing in front of the camera and deliver photos you absolutely love.
I get it—having your picture taken can feel awkward, overwhelming, and sometimes, downright stressful. But here’s the thing: You don’t have to worry about a thing.
Let’s ditch the ordinary and create imagery that’s as stylish and unique as you are. Wondering how I can make that happen? I’ve learned the ins and outs of what it takes to authentically bring out the best in you for any type of experience you book with me. I’ll give you Instagram-worthy images that truly stand out and make you feel amazing every time you see them.
My job as a photographer is to make it easy so you can forget there’s a camera in front of you. The result? A set of photos that represent you.
Think of me as your go-to hype woman, here to make the whole experience a good time
