About Marianne

Since 2005 I have been in the business of creating tangible memories but the truth is that I have been a photographer "forever". I was about 6 when I first held my brother Matt's (heavy) Canon AE-1's viewfinder up to my face, I the heft of the camera heavy in my hands & the strap scratching the back of my neck. I remember seeing the world through that viewfinder rectangle for the very first time.

For a number of years I worked as an RN in the critical care setting and at some point I had a realization that while I loved the connection nursing allowed me to have with others, I wanted more to contribute beauty and love to their existence. Some of my favorite patient families would bring photos in for their loved ones - visual reminders that the patient lying in bed is a human being, struggling at the moment but in reality this person is a loving parent, a doting grandparent, a wonderful wife or husband, someone's best friend. Those photos personalized my experience with my patients. It is because of these experiences that I continue to grasp to UNDERSTAND the meaning of this life. My belief is that the meaning lies in the connection between us all, relationships, after all, are the only thing we leave on this earth with any real meaning.

In 2005 when I finally took the leap and started Marmalade Photography it was based upon a single vision: fun, beautiful and quality photos for Chicago area families and children that speak to who they are as a character in the plot of their lives and who they are in the connectedness of this life.

My ten years photographing people of varying ages is of benefit to you: I offer a full service photography experience and have the expertise to create art you will love for your home. I love to help clients design wall galleries, provide custom created beautiful albums and art pieces. I have even been commissioned to create images as large as 10 feet in length. High touch, high quality, there is no other way to do it.

While I do live, breathe & eat photography obviously I am not just Marmalade Photography. I am also a wife…a mom to Maddie & Lauren who inspire me every day in so many ways…I am a historian and a friend…a gardener (who can't keep indoor plants but I have a green thumb if it grows outside)…funny…fun loving…serious…in fact you & I may have a lot in common…I would love to get to know you through that rectangle & tell your families' story for you.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Jen & Adam and their beautiful kids yesterday for a Marmalade Location Fields session. I want to thank them for being superfun and willing to go with the flow….M & B were absolute dolls. The eyes on that B, oh my gosh! And the curls on Miss M, to die for!! I hope they had a blast (because I definitely did).

Sneak peeks:

J & B Snuggling

and finally…because the light was stunning…

Ahhhh…from the super adorable to the supercute…

I hadn’t been at my studio all week and when I got there I got a UPS delivery notice. Hmmm…I wondered. What could that be? Well well well, a huge thanks to Josh & Katie for sending me some pretzel love. Oh and what love those pretzels are!!! I think that I’ll be making a trek to Springfield to get more of these HEAVEN ON EARTH delights at Pease’s in Springfield.

Now it’s been well known that I have the MOST rockingest clients ever but this gave me a huge reminder of how lucky I am to have these people touch my life…thank you Josh & Katie for this really appreciated gift, totally unnecessary and totally LOVED.

Love these, what a beautiful family! The outfit choice on the little boy is to die for, as is the little girl. That last image is fantastic! Lovely work!
