Collective Elevation

At Meri, we believe that a “A rising tide lifts all boats" - or as we like to call it “Collective Elevation.”

We’re not out to compete with our fellow San Diego momtrepreneurs, women entrepreneurs, or any other -trepreneur you can think of. Rather, our goal is to provide a platform that makes it easier to find the best vendors for your need.

Not only does this help us support our fellow small business owners, it helps us provide San Diego families with an easier way to find all the vendors they need.

Vendors we love

Meri is a mom and dad run operation. As such, our goal isn’t to provide every offering under the sun. Rather, we’re looking to make it easier for our fellow San Diego parents to find event rental vendors that match with their values, sustainability practices, and good taste.

Our featured vendors join us in our commitment to providing eco-friendly, non-toxic, and sustainable services. We can’t wait for you to meet them!

Meet Elisabeth Yves

Specialities: Photography, face painting

Elisabeth has captured our families baby shower, maternity photos, newborn photos, and most recently our daughter’s 1st birthday party.

Why we love Elisabeth:

  • Family-focused: Lisa is a gentle force, using kindness, patience, and fun to capture the perfect photos

  • Responsive and quick: I’m the mom regularly refreshing my inbox eagerly awaiting the photos. Elisabeth always delivers fast, high quality results with a smile and an affordable price point

In her own words:

I’m Lissa — a portrait photographer and party artist based in sunny San Diego! I specialize in capturing the joy of childhood and family moments, and I also offer customized face painting that brings smiles to kids (and parents!) at birthdays, playdates, and special events.

Whether you’re planning a party for your toddler, celebrating a milestone, or just want beautiful family photos, I’m here to help you create magical memories — and keep the kids entertained while we’re at it!
