Face & Soul of Light Rae Exposures

Hey! You found me, let me introduce myself & GIVE YOU A CRASH COURSE ON ME!
The name is Marissa Rae. Brains & Beauty behind Light Rae Exposures. In a nut a shell I'm fueled by all good vibes, adventures and going with the flow. Sounds a little like a hippie with gypsy soul, right?! Totally, but I am a little more complicated than that!
Born & raised in Colorado I'm a little country & a little city. All into fashion and being flashy but on the flip side I will get down and dirty for a good hike, good story and good time! I am a rebel heart & free sprited. You can honestly find me anywhere. On top of a mountain, doing yoga on a paddle boarding, drinking a margarita at the beach. All the way to training dogs or riding horses, line dancing or dropping it low at the club to head banging at a metal concert and screaming at the top of my lounges. Or you won't find me at all because I am in the my house doing all DIY projects & editing and tapping into my creative side.
I've always had my hands in a lot of hobbies from being known as an animal whisper with a rebel heart that took a lot of photos. Working all the angles to see the world from a different point of view is my total vibe. Everything I do, I have the same goal- looking for beauty in every day life & turn it into art. Finding a deeper connection and doing everything with my whole heart. Photography is my personal way of turning hay into gold 🏅 I'm an empath and I feel emotions very deeply & love to turn them into art and forever keep sakes for all the milestones in life. With my photography I create your story through candid photos, movement and emotion. Creating beauty in every adventure and milestone to cherish for a lifetime and adding spice to it all and making it fun and personalized to you!

WHEN LIGHTRAE WAS BORN
With dreams to be a photographer, camera always in hand Light Rae Exposures was established in 2011. Fueled with my love for fashion, capturing & creating beautiful moments. My goal has always been to bring out the beauty in everyone that I personally see and wanted to show how the world really sees you & moments in time. I've always been on on both sides of the camera with a love & background in modeling that has given me the headway to be the best photographer in directing my vision and getting people into poses that are flattering. I have always been tech savvy and messing around with Lightroom and Photoshop, perfecting and creating my wide contrast with muted tones, moody romantic style.
