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.

Family Photography in Naperville

An extended family photograph on a bridge in a natural setting in late spring

It was A’s graduation and her gorgeous people got together for a fun photo session on location in Naperville. I want to formally apologize for my first (FIRST) scheduling snafu in near 20 years of professional photography business. Thankfully this happened with this amazing group of folks who not only showed me great humor about the situation but gave me the utmost of grace and helped create the most amazing photos. I always say tension and happiness BOTH show up in photographs and stand by this. This group was absolute rockstars and the whole session was laughter and joy of being family. What an honor to be able to photograph these pretty folks in a pretty setting.

Family photographs of extended family are some of my favorite sessions especially when repeat clients are involved because I get to peek into lives filled with love and people desiring connection. What a gift it is to be the observer in these beautiful situations. Some of my favorite sessions over my 20 years have been extended family sessions because the behind-the-scenes antics are always great. This session was no exception!

Congrats to Ms. A on her graduation and congrats to her family for a successful session of family photography in Naperville!! On with the sneak peeks, enjoy!
