About

Hi! I'm Marissa, a girl who loves birds and carries a camera. My photography captures moments of wonder in the natural world. I am a visual storyteller, wildlife lover and New England native.

I am entirely self taught and always learning.

Motivated by my love of wildlife and desire to observe more closely, I purchased my first "real' digital camera (Nikon Coolpix P950) in 2024. My spark bird is the Yucatan Jay. My current favorite bird is the Killdeer. I identify most with the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird (mostly little birds with big moods).

A wanderer and a wonderer, I also offer bird walks, guided nature strolls and teach yoga. My favorite Yoga poses are all named after animals. This last fact is unrelated, but it is the about me section and I contain multitudes.

Why Mood Bird?

I focus on the expressiveness and antics of wild creatures, and aim to capture the aesthetic and 'vibe' of the subject and setting.

What else do you photograph?

Pets. Pets and their people. Portraits. Landscapes. Live music. Athletics. Choatic candid family photos.

What kind of camera do you use?

Canon EOS VII. I primarily use anCanon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM Lens. I still love that Coolpix :) I also shoot film. I have a lot of cameras.

All photos taken by me while following ethical wildlife practices. The welfare and safety of wild creatures is far more important than a photo. Leave nature better than you found it.
