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.

Admittedly it has been a fantastic month for me (to get even better and better)… I am so lucky really, lots of previous clients, lots of favorites to shoot. Tuesday’s session…Miss AnnaB. Oh Miss AnnaB was/is such a treat to shoot/talk about/hang out with/play dress up with…such a true joy. I cannot believe she is TWO years old, such a wonderfully happy two!

However and I know I said it in my previous post but seriously WHERE is time flying? I remember her when…(if you’ve been to the studio you totally know this image 🙂 )

(i love messy kids! i had to show it!)

So yesterday when Beth brought her out to the studio I was excited to see how much more adorable she has gotten in the past year since I saw her last. I didn’t think it was possible but I really do think she got even cuter!!

Isn’t she absolutely beautiful?

Thanks to Beth for coming out from Highland Park to hang out with little ole me for a bit to get some beautiful imagery of your gorgeous girl…I know it’s a really busy week for you and appreciate your taking the time to come out and hang and get pictures… Send your mom my love. I hope she has a great visit with her gorgeous gal! 🙂

On that note, until we meet again….

That last image is just stunning, I adore it and can only imagine how mum will feel when she sees it. Lots of amazing images you’ve captured for this family over the years, I’m sure the family will be thrilled.

everything about that last shot is perfect–her expression, her hair blowing, the texture, and the delicious tones of your b/w.
