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.

This weekend was quite the weekend. Great weather (mostly). September sessions really are my thing. The light is perfection, the air is starting to cool off but not too cool. It’s the real wind down of summer and it starts getting awesome weather wise and light wise here in Chicagoland.

Plus this September has been filled with Marmalade Favorites and even a sisters session or two…the sneak peeks from this session come from a family session from a long time client family. The B family has been with me since little S was just a wee one. Our last session produced some of my personal favorite images and some may be seen in the “Artist Favorites” part of my galleries here on the blog and on my site. This next image is yet another one in the favorites column (and I’m sure there will be quite a few from this session in that column!). This is little L in a “Jump for Joy” sort of moment.

…and that dress! I can’t take credit for the dress or that fabulous hair but to say that I was swooning is no lie. I ~~swooned~~!

And this young lady ^^. Incredibly sweet, beautiful and fun. I swooned over her outfit too. Mom had it in spades!! I edited this image in a warm toned black and white so I know you can’t see but the lace up detailing matched her sisters suede dress perfectly! One of my favorite outfit duos to date!

I know I’ll do a session feature on this and other sessions in the future (aka slower season) so for now: Thank you B Fam for joining me at one of my favorite locations in the Southwest burbs this past weekend and celebrating September with me!! Love you guys and I love what we created together. Hope you enjoyed your sneak peek!

If you are looking for a Flossmoor Family Photographer I travel as well as having locations near and dear to my heart in the Southwest suburbs. Feel free to give me a call to chat about your family photo session. I love working with kids of all ages (from 8 days to 88 years of age!!) My number is 815-603-8450 and I’m available M-F 9 a.m. to about 5 p.m.
