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.

Laughter – Blog Carousel by Chicago Professional Photographer

A group of very talented children’s & family photographers (whom I am lucky enough to call friends) have gotten together for yet another themed blog carousel. What is it? It’s each photographers’ interpretation of a theme.

After you are finished reading this entry click on the link at the bottom of the page for the next photographer on the blog carousel. There are quite a few of us so give yourself a good 20-30 minutes to go through all the entries.

This time around our theme is LAUGHTER. I really debated on what image exhibits a fun interpretation of laughter and then decided that this recent one of my puppy girl is very fitting of the theme and a fun personal image that I love. This was taken when my very talented pet photographer friend, Pam of You Had Me At Woof photography, was in town. We had a nice relaxing walk in the woods with Thumper and happened to capture this fun laughing shot of my pal Thumper.

Now the link to the next blog carousel participant…Buffalo New York’s baby and children’s photographer of choice, SH Portraits. My friend Samara has a great interpretation on this theme.

Previous blog carousel entries included: Framed, Monochrome, Reflection and Photographer Advice. If you’re interested you can find my previous blog carousel entries HERE.
