Photography

“Oh my goodness I cannot say enough wonderful things about Stephanie Marilee Tucker!! I was looking for someone to do funny, silly portraits of my kids to print poster-size for a wall, and I wasn’t sure whether this type of photographer existed. Capturing kids’ personalities is a talent, and it’s not easy to find. But Stephanie was amazing! Being a mom herself, she put my kids at ease, made them laugh, played with them, and even offered them snacks. She was so laid back and flexible, and we had such a fun time with her. I was blown away by how many wonderful photos she got of the two kids, absolutely floored. She went above and beyond and even mocked them up in two different poster sizes on my wall. And delivered them all in color and black/white. I am so thankful, Stephanie, and cannot wait to do photos with you again!”

“If you are camera shy like me, then Stephanie is your girl! Stephanie came to the session with so many fun ideas for headshots, as well as props and even some wardrobe options! She then guided me through various settings and poses that would project the professional, yet friendly image I was going for. I hate being in front of the camera, but Stephanie’s smile and positive commentary made it not just bearable, but even fun! She helped me select a few of my best shots and I had the finished photos in my inbox by the end of the day. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Stephanie is a very talented and friendly photographer. She brings joy into her session, and her passion shines through in her beautiful, artistic work. My 2-year-old daughter and I did a mini photo shoot with her. Stephanie was patient and quickly gained the trust of my little one. She made our session fun, comfortable, and memorable. Stephanie had so many creative ideas for photos that felt authentic. I LOVE my photos so much and am thankful to have such an incredible keepsake. You can truly tell photography is her passion. It is next level and you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend her!”

“Stephanie was excellent. We are not from San Francisco so we were depending on her to chose places to shoot our photos. Her choices were excellent. She made my fiancée and I feel very comfortable. The photos came out perfect! I would highly recommend her.”
— Steven C, Tennessee
“Everything went off without a hitch! I am from Canada and was planning my proposal to happen in San Francisco. I was nervous about booking a photographer in another country, but from the first phone call she set my mind at ease. We planned everything ahead of time and Stephanie was there when I proposed to my now fiance (!) and helped me discretely capture the moment. After that, we continued on with a full engagement shoot at several locations. The shots are stunning and Stephanie was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and how to work with a camera shy person like myself. She put me completely at ease and I actually had fun having my picture taken! Will definitely work with Stephanie again if the opportunity presents itself.”
— Carey B, Vancouver
“Stephanie is a fantastic family portrait photographer! We connected through a mutual friend when I was looking to have pregnancy photos and newborn photos done at a reasonable rate. Stephanie at Marilee was able to accommodate our tight schedule and fit the budget! Stephanie’s got a great eye for poses, light and has a great demeanor to make you comfortable. She has an amazing turnaround (less than a week!) and is so easy to work with (email/text/phone and square payment system)!

If you’re looking for a photographer- Marilee.co is perfect!”

Turnaround time was quick as well - we got our pictures within a day of getting them taken.”

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

“Stephanie has a remarkable ability that is rare in creative circles: she understands and can collaborate with engineers, product managers and executive teams. Her ability to synthesize information from all of those sources into a coherent, beautiful experience for the end-user is truly remarkable. I brought Stephanie on board early in 2014 to help define the look and feel of the StudioNow marketplace, and she did so much more. Stepping up to the challenge, Stephanie was the perfect counterpoint between product management and engineering, balancing the two needs together to create a user experience that is truly second-to-none.

One other point here worth mentioning: Stephanie is a joy to work with, not just as her manager, but as a coworker. I know that her contemporaries as well as her direct reports feel exactly the same. She provides a touch of ego-less ownership to her work that allows her to communicate her intent and her designs freely.”

Her extraordinary ability to take a concept and breathe life into it, making it a reality has inspired me to produce some of my best work. And her eye for detail is like nothing I’ve ever seen. Her work is always pixel perfect.

During my time at Revision3, she has gone from brilliantly executing on her own vision and creativity to leading and motivating a team to produce work of the same insanely-high caliber. She would be an invaluable asset to any organization that would be lucky enough to work with her. Talent like hers is truly a rare thing, and I would work with her again in a heartbeat.”
