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.

Naperville High School Senior Photography

A blast from the past to brighten your rainy day and evening with a brief peek into my work creating Naperville High School Senior Photography.

I first met A when she was a wee one, her and her sister’s first session with Marmalade was circa August 2008 (?!). If I did my math right she was almost 2 years old when we had our first session.

When A first got out of the car I can say I honestly just saw the grown up version of the toddler I met in 2008, it’s so crazy to watch babies grow up into adults and it’s equally wild that I can still see that toddler that once ruled their home with a chaotic toddler energy! She is still that sweet babe that I got to first know in front of my lens…just with great taste in wardrobe and jewelry!

I am honored to present some sneak peeks from her super cute, super fun and sunny high school senior session. What a joy it was to hang out with A and capture this gorgeous young ladies’ energy and spirit during the time surrounding the end of her high school career. And I am ever so thankful to her mom for reaching out and allowing Marmalade to capture this time. They say “senior year is the longest break up ever” for a mom and they really don’t lie. So to be able to be some small part of this dynamic is something that I truly feel is an honor.

A: never change. You are bright, fun, gorgeous on the inside and a joy to photograph. Enjoy!
