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.

Updates and Some Highlights of Recent Sessions…

I’m frantically putting together sessions, editing and doing all the great behind the scenes stuff I can spare you all from but I thought I’d pop in for a quick update.

Availability starts for November at this time…I seem to have overbooked October somehow. LOL. It’s a good thing, I’m not complaining, it’s good to be loved. If you are interested in a November session, please call to book : 815.603.8450

Other than that, not much else to add. Oh, my wonderful husband bought me a new cd of dance music so hopefully that keeps the pace up here in Marmaland, currently listening to a remix of HelloGoodbye “All of Your Love” (the YouTube version is a bit Daft Punkish (the You Tube link is good, you have to sit through a minute of snoozeville but after that it’s kind of amazing).

Anyway, I suspect I’m completely digressing…(yeah Mare, really what else is new…)

Highlights from recent sessions…favorites and ones I can dig up on the fly. 🙂

Wowza, it’s mostly about boys here today. Yikes. 🙂 Must be in the air!

Til we meet again! xoxo, Mare

p.s. A Happy Birthday to Miss Allison who is Five Years Old today! A big congrats to her and many wishes for a year filled with sweetness!

p.s.p. Another Happy Birthday wish…this time to my favorite Amellionaire!Â LOL.Â Happy Bday A!

Thanks!

Some are in the city at a public area/park, the bear shot is at the client’s home and the rest are either Marmalade Locations or my Studio (none are “MINE” per se, I wish!)
