THE SESSION

It’s the same session every time. What changes is what we’re making it for.

Some women come for their business.

Some come only for themselves.

Most think they need it for a totally different reason they end up with.

Either way we start in the same place: I find out who you are before I pick up the camera.

Who my sessions are made for

  • For the woman whose career required her not to stand out, and who’s finally done with that.

  • For the woman starting her own thing after being told she couldn’t handle the last one.

  • For the woman who left the institution and now the face of the practice she built.

  • For the woman who is three different people to her clients and needs one photograph that holds all of them.

  • For the woman with the credential and the gift, who only ever leads with the credential.

  • For the woman whose website still has a photo from before the business became what it is now.

  • For the woman who went to a funeral, saw the photograph, and wanted one of her own while she’s still here.

  • For the woman who’s been photographed a hundred times for the job and never once as herself.

  • For the woman who has sat for many photographers and wants to see what a different eye finds.

  • For the woman doing the first thing that’s only hers in a very long time.

  • For the woman who hasn’t been photographed since the seventies and never thought to ask.

  • For the woman who works harder than anyone she knows and has never spent a day on herself.

  • For the woman who’s been doing this 30 years, doesn’t need a single new client, and has never once been photographed doing it.

  • For the woman researching this for a friend.

    Marj is a person of an extraordinary talents. She is a gifted photographer and a very kind and nice human being. She has an ability to find something special in everyone and everything and to capture that moment of authentic self-expression in a very unique artistic way.

    Love working with Dizon Photography! Marjorie creates such a great photo environment. Her eye for taking your picture captures confidence, beauty, and empowerment that you didn’t know you have. Once you leave her studio you leave with such empowerment. Highly recommend booking your branding session with her.

  • A woman with shoulder-length red hair, wearing a white long-sleeve top, dark pants, and red ankle boots, sitting on a white couch against a plain white background, smiling at the camera.

    Marj is truly the best at her craft! She is so personable and makes you feel like you’ve known each other forever! She listens and makes herself fully present for you as she guides you through your photo session! I loved that she shared with me her story and why it is important as women (& business women) that we empower each other!

  • A smiling woman with glasses sitting at a white table with colorful pens, a pair of scissors, a business card, a water bottle, a tape measure, and a brochure.

    Marj is an amazing artist, photographer, profound soul who spends the time and the energy needed getting to know her subject, which in-turn produces a magnificent portfolio of photos. Clear, clean photos filled with authenticity showcasing the client as well as her ability to capture the essence of the individual. It's an adventure together and it's fun.

  • A woman with blonde hair wearing a black and white dress and heels, sitting on a white sofa with magazines and papers beside her on a white rug.

    Working with Marjorie was such a dream, she is a fantastic photographer and I couldn’t be happier with my photos. She and her make up artist did such an amazing job of making me feel comfortable and beautiful. I would highly recommend Marjorie for your own photo shoot. I can’t wait to use her pictures on my website!

  • A senior woman with short gray hair, wearing a black top, earrings, and a necklace, sitting against a dark background.

    “Marj is real. And she has intuition, which allows her to know how to reveal what you may not even know about yourself. My life changed, because she cared enough to help me not be afraid of the camera. That is a true gift, on so many levels.”

  • A woman with curly brown hair smiling and leaning on a white sofa in a well-lit room with white walls and a decorative plant in the foreground.

    Marjorie is so incredibly talented! She brings you the real 'you' by getting to know you before even grabbing the camera. She helps you with the wardrobe choices to bring, along with accessories. Then makeup and hair that looks natural. Makes you at ease with the camera so that soon you don't even notice it. She is so personal that its easy to relax. I highly recommend her!

Frequently Asked Questions

    Also, feel free to browse my Pinterest board for ideas.
