Catching everlasting memories to cherish forever...

Hello! I am Merino. I'm a local photographer based in Astoria. I have been doing photography for over 20 years. I went to Astoria High School in the mid 90's. I graduated from Portland State University with BSc Sociology. I'm married and have two children that are on the spectrum. Everything I know about photography, I learned on my own.

Merino

I love capturing all things beautiful. I love that I get to share and capture your joyous moments. It is a great honor to be part of someone's life through photography. I love taking photos of nature, everything tiny, cute little babies and children, families, intimate weddings, high school seniors, and various events.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Merino! Merino is professional, kind, FUN, and incredible at what she does! I really appreciate her super fast turn around with the photos and her attention to detail. I will cherish the photos she captured forever and am looking forward to continuing to work with Merino in the future!

I would like to let you all know that if you are in need of a professional photographer to take pictures, you should definitely give Merino with Merino Inbendra Photography a call. Merino is local. She took our daughter’s senior pictures this past weekend and we are very pleased with how the photos came out.  

Merino was amazing! She is reasonable, fun, creative, patient and easy to work with. She made our daughter feel so comfortable. She even got our prints back to us within a few days!

Whatever your photo needs are, I would reach out to her. You won’t be disappointed
