Morrison took up photography at a young age. She grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and graduated from Concord Academy in 1996.

She worked on "The Hills" for two years before moving to features, beginning with Zal Batmanglij's Sound of My Voice, which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.

Over the next two years, she photographed Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie and Fruitvale Station, which premiered at Sundance in 2012 and 2013 respectively, as well as Any Day Now, Some Girl(s) and The Harvest. In 2014, she photographed Cake, directed by Daniel Barnz, which she followed up with the 2015 film Dope. Dope premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, making it Morrison's seventh film to screen at the annual festival in six consecutive years.
