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.

I had the opportunity to visit one of my favorite clients and finally meet A, Banana’s little brother! Thanks to Beth for allowing me to come out to their beautiful Highland Park home late last week and capture little A – another round of sessions with Marmalade! Beth – once again it needs to be repeated – you look fabulous for having just had a baby a few months ago! Your little guy is heaven on earth – I adored his big baby brown eyes – he is a complete looker! Thank you so much for letting me into your lives – I loved seeing all the images we have captured together through the years lining the walls and gracing the tabletops of your home.

I didn’t get very many of Miss Bananas looking @ the camera but this one made my heart skip a beat, I love it so!

And for fun, Bananas + Beth not-so-long ago:

Whoa, that logo is a blast from the past! 🙂

Wow that last image is just heaven, and the serious “banana” shot, well it’s divine. I love how you have captured this family.
Kimberly - July 15, 2009 - 11:15 am

it’s probably not nice to hate your clients for looking fabulous right after birth so we’ll just dislike her strongly, but only in that aspect. 🙂 The second shot is TDF (great clothing choice, mom) and Miss Bananas is stunning.

Oh my goodness, what lovely images. You really captured their beauty.
Cindy - July 22, 2009 - 11:16 am

How exciting to see this beautiful family grow. They are all great, but the look that she is giving you in #3 just seems to say so much “wise beyond her years”. Absolutely gorgeous work!
