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.

The Last Forest Session of the Season…

Ahhhh, on my books this was the last forest session for 2007. I’m a wee bit sad, however with how fast darkness came, well I guess it’s just as well.

The forest is still awash in gorgeous gorgeous colors (courtesy of our late frost this year). However, there are enough leaves on the ground of Cassie & Sean’s kids to have an absolute B*L*A*S*T. I want to thank them for coming out from Mokena for a Forest Session (despite the fact that I thought it was a whole other session altogether…left the studio in major freak out mode to get to the forest in time for sweet light). They and their beautiful children were real troopers and I completely enjoyed meeting them. I suspect I could sit & chat with “chatty” Cassie all evening long.

So thank you to them and to my wonderful client Whitney who referred me to them. I so enjoyed meeting you all and think you will be so so happy with the images from your session. What I have seen so far, just spectacular. You all will be so so happy.

Time to scroll, people! Sneak peeks follow!! 🙂

Thanks for dropping in!

xoxo, Mare
