My Photo Roots

Marisa Petrina G.

Being a psychology graduate, I'm fascinated by how the mind helps us to develop, interact, and perceive.
My dad traveled the world with his film camera, capturing priceless moments. My grandmother had dementia, but was able to storytell by describing the people and emotions in photos as if she was present. My grandfather was never without an iPhone in his hand. Witnessing their joy showed me the power and meaning behind photographs. Your story deserves to be heard and felt for years to come.

grounded in generational love

A few of my favorite things...


  • Handmade gifts.
  • Cinematic music / movie scores.
  • Spanish and Italian architecture.

  • Delicious smelling candles and soaps.
  • Vegetables. Period.
  • Indian + Thai are my absolute favorites cuisines.
  • Vintage bridalwear

The Heart of My Craft


I hold the stories of the love that arrived before me, each narrative shaping me into the business owner I am today. Authenticity has been my guiding light on the journey of growth through social media. By simply being myself, unapologetically, I’ve cultivated a space where genuine connections thrive. Beyond showcasing my photography, I’ve opened the doors to my world, sharing passions like vintage fashion, cherished memories of my grandparents, beloved films from my childhood, and the melodies that move my soul.
