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.

Baby Loves Disco

Today I travelled to Wrigleyville to Metro to photograph this month’s (SOLD OUT! Woo!) Baby Loves Disco event. It was a blast. This was my first time with Baby Loves Disco and for my blog readers with little ones, YOU MUST do this. Fun music from OUR generation, bartenders and play stuff galore for the kids. It was fun (and weird to be in Metro during daylight hours!) I had an amazing time and I’d like to thank Tiffanie Sperling, the Baby Loves Disco Chicago hostess for encouraging me to play with the Baby Loves team. Tiffanie also owns Big Belly and On A Roll Stroller Fitness so please check her site out!

Back to the Baby Loves Disco details…I will have all images up by the 20th in a private gallery for those that are interested. You can email me at marianne@marmaladephotography.com to get signed up for details. Once the gallery is released I will send out info to those who sign up for it. 🙂

Thanks to all the adorable kids who attended and allowed me to photograph them.

Here’s a couple of sneak peeks for what is coming up in the gallery:

Ooooh, almost forgot!Â If you’d like to view the overall vision of 2007 by Marmalade Photoraphy in our year end slideshow, you can view it by clicking HEREÂ It will be coming down later this weekÂ and will be unavailable after that time.

Thanks!

xoxo, Mare
