High School Senior – Grad Portraits are now being scheduled!

April 3, 2012 8:09 pm

Having portraits taken in your gorgeous grad dress or funky suit doesn’t have to be boring! And really, why just have a portrait taken with your grad attire – try something different – come in with your favorite outfit – something that shouts ‘This is ME!’ - those are the images that you will look back on for years to come! Just imagine looking at your photos 10 years from now and all you can say is ‘Wow – I looked hot!’ When you come in for a portrait session with Marlene – you will LOVE your images – guaranteed! We’re a different kind of a studio – we believe in the whole EXPERIENCE! You will feel like a model! You will be able to view your images on a big screen in the privacy of our Viewing Room – it’s your OWN Private Screening – so bring your Mom, Dad, Grandma and best friend for this special viewing! I’ve had girls leave the screening with tears in their eyes, with laughter on their lips, and yes, even with disappointment sometimes – not because they didn’t love their photos – but because they loved ALL of their photos and Mom insisted that she couldn’t get them all….

Come and and take a look at some of my NEW for 2012 products!

So many choices – so much fun – so much to remember!

I guarantee you will not regret coming to Marlene for the EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME – personalized service and fun, fun, FUN!

My beautiful sister, Elaine Peters, went to be with Jesus last evening, February 25th, after a short battle with cancer. She was a caring and loving person who adored her husband of almost 39 years and a wonderful Grandma to her grandchildren. She had a chance to kiss her newest granddaughter born on February 20th. She will be watching over her family from Heaven.

Brad - Thank you Marlene. I have not seen most of these pictures. Jesus said “I have come to serve, not to be served”. Elaine too lived a life of servitude. With a heavy heart and great sorrow, I love you Elaine,you have finished the race,may you hear “well done”

Lorilee Scharfenberg - The January 2010 image says it all! What an amazing picture with the Words that resonate with so many! I adore my sisters and cannot imagine your sorrow entwined with joy! Blessings.

Happy New Year!

At the close of another year, I want to warmly and sincerely thank my many wonderful clients for trusting me to photograph a special time in their lives. I chose this career 33 years ago, and I have to say that I still enjoy my photography as much, if not more, than when I began. How many people can say they love what they do after so many years? I am nowhere near retirement as yet, and I’m looking forward to seeing many more of my past clients and meeting new ones!

I am so looking forward to what 2012 will bring. Some things will be good and some not-so-good. But, I will accept whatever comes!

I haven’t made New Year’s resolutions for many years, because the intentions are always good – but the execution rarely happens. So what I’m doing instead is making a list of what I envision for myself and my business in the coming year. (There’s power in the written word.)

One thing I want to do in my business is to try new things. I will be photographing assignments just for me. It might mean more travel photography or scenic or close-up macro photography. But I have these visions of some beautiful, artistic life studies of people… I’m going to explore that!

Personally, I want to spend more time reading, relaxing and listening to great music. I find that these all refresh my body and soul and that ends up making me more creative in my photography! Amazing how that works!

As I’m sitting here, wrapping up my year, I am feeling many emotions – and the biggest is the excitement for all of the good things to come next year and a feeling of gratitude to all of the people who are a part of my life.

Happy New Year!
