The frontpage of my site is down.

I have major server issues as of late. It’s a long drawn out story I won’t bore y’all with but suffice it to say the site is getting "moved" although to you blog readers it shouldn’t affect anything.

If you are looking for the website look HERE:

Needless to say, it couldn’t have happened at a worse time. 🙁 Anyway….

Freakin computers… sigh.. sorry to hear

Happy Father’s Day and a sneak peek. :)

It seems very appropriate that the session that ties in to my Mother’s Day post last month is highlighted today, on Father’s Day. 🙂

I travelled to Barlett yesterday to do a session with the fabulous (FABULOUS!) P Family and their almost brand new baby boy. A big congrats to them and also a huge thank you from me because I am truly lucky to have made it into this warm, caring family’s life by way of being their photographer for a couple sessions (and hopefully many more). Their baby, A, is an amazingly sweet soul who put up with me and the big black box covering my face for 3/4 of the time together. A is truly a lucky guy, growing up with terrific parents like N&N.

So Happy Father’s Day to you all. And the gift of a sneak peek of brand new life….welcome to the world, A. We are glad you are here….I wish for you that you find beauty, hope and have luck with everything you do.

Thanks for stopping in….I have one last tidbit.

As I was driving home yesterday this came on the radio and I thought to myself…oh yeah!! Dug this up on YouTube and thought to myself, I wonder what the years did to Ian Asbury…last I heard he was doing some front man work for The Doors….hmmmm….something to go ahead and research.

oh my what a beautiful baby, that hair….the second colour one is so perfect 🙂 and LOVE the you tube! The Cult are one of my fav bands, Ian Astbury, the years I would say were not so good to him, way too much excess I think lol
Cindy - June 15, 2008 - 8:38 pm

Oh what a gorgeous baby! The second shot is absolute perfection. The colors are so soft and he just looks so peaceful. Wonderful work!
nina pomeroy - June 16, 2008 - 6:52 am

That second color shot is just beautiful. The lighting is spectacular. It needs to be big!
Daniela - June 16, 2008 - 7:05 am

Tobi - June 16, 2008 - 6:36 pm

Wow, these are stunning, I can’t stop looking at that second one, the colours are beautiful and it is screaming “great big canvas above the fireplace!!!”
The P Family - June 16, 2008 - 11:26 pm

Hi Mare! Words cannot express our feelings, emotions, etc from our session! These pics turned out so beautiful, so classic, capturing our important moments! We cannot wait for our next session and so glad that we opened our moments for you to capture! Thank you so much for bringing this passion and working with us during the session! See you soon!

I love love love that second image. So beautiful! The sleepy baby on a beautiful bed and all the gorgeous colors around. This is the perfect choice for a wall portrait!
corey civetta - June 17, 2008 - 4:37 am

Beautiful, beautiful work, Mare! I love the one on the bed!
Jen Lane - June 20, 2008 - 9:51 pm

Siiiiiigh.
OK, when I saw the second image (over on your new site!) I GASPED out loud. I swear I did. The dog sat up and gave me a very annoyed look for disturbing her sleep.
Mare, that is one of the MOST beautiful, rich, gorgeous newborn images I have ever seen. I mean that. The color is amazing. The luxury of all that fabric is amazing. The utter BEAUTY of that baby is amazing.
Very well done!
Kelli - June 25, 2008 - 8:53 am

kathy wolfe - June 30, 2008 - 4:46 pm

that 2nd image is amazing. wow.

hop on the bus, gus…don’t need to discuss much…

just drop off the key lee, and get yourself free….

WHY? might you be asking am I singing old Simon and Garfunkel. Hmmmm…only the S family all the way from Missouri knows!

Yes bloggers, you read that right. Missouri. 😀

Thank you to Erin, Scott & their gorgeous three kids who made the trek of all treks out to the studio Thursday evening for a Marmalade Waterfall Session. The images are fabulous and they were so very sweet to me (even if chocolate melted and a/c decided to take a hike). I hope they enjoy their time in Illinois however short it may be.

Here’s their sneak peek! Enjoy.

thanks for stopping in….Namaste.

janet - June 16, 2008 - 8:05 pm

Marianne-You have outdone yourself. This family will cherish these forever. I only wish I could go back in time and bottle up moments like this.
Marianne - June 16, 2008 - 8:07 pm

Thank you everyone. 🙂 It was an honor to photograph this family.
Danna Bowes - June 18, 2008 - 8:06 am

wow Marianne, these are just stunning, what a beautiful family and your images of course are as AWESOME as usual 🙂

impromptu session

Out where we live there are still a ton of open fields. However the issue with fields such as the one I used for my mini quickie session with my girls (out in minooka) is that if it is untilled land (in june!) chances are some development is going to be headed this way (sigh). There are all these mini areas of wild flowers all over land tracts in the area so I took the girls out this evening to take advantage of the shoulder high beautiful yellow blooms that made some fields explode in yellow delights. Also, it isn’t often where I have two willing parties to the photographic purpose. Not often at all. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by. No children were tortured in the making of the following images. 🙂

I love the bit of motion in her swooshing skirt. Adds to the moment that I captured here.

The light on her face just makes me happy

Thanks for stopping by!!

Edited to include a song I heard today on XRT and it took me back. Far Gone & Out…love love JAMC. Love.
