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.

Dear blog,

I really didn’t mean to neglect you for the past two and a half months…honestly my database needed updating and things were messed up on the back end…I just couldn’t bear to deal with you in the midst of the busy season so sadly you stood neglected through the end of the rush of the Holiday busy season. You’ve waited patiently for me to get my act together…I’m back here to play again.

🙂

Hi all! I’m back with a January sneak peek! I hope you’re enjoying the new colors and the bit of remodeling the Marmablog has undergone in recent weeks. I think that some more tweaking is in order but for now…this’ll do.

Little A travelled from Chicago’s Hyde Park area this past weekend for a session at the Marmalade studio. It was nice to take a break from "event" season and get back to shooting kids (with a shiny new camera no less).

We’re starting out the 2011 portrait season with a bang! A huge thank you to A’s parents, Trey and Shari, I appreciate your entrusting me with these memories of your beautiful girl. I hope you enjoy the sneak peeks I’ve prepared!!
