another baby!

Recently I photographed Nichole and Don for their maternity session.  And I was thrilled when their little baby girl arrived and I could photograph her at just 6 days old!  Welcome sweet Bailey - you’re so beautiful!

Thank you Nichole and Don and Bailey!  I can’t wait to see her grow up!

The Results from my Holiday Mini-Sessions

Today was the day of my “Holiday Mini-Sessions”.  I booked three sessions and all were completely different!
My first clients were the winners of my Walt Disney World trip last year!  This time they decided to have just the girls photographed.  Piper sat wonderfully still - but Davilyn was loving her new shoes and running around! ...

November 2, 2009 - 1:11 pm Inge - Having had Marlene photograph me and my husband and dogs in our own home, I can personally vouch for the fact that it is a treat to be photographed in a familiar place. No stress, just warm and comfortable... And Marlene can preform magic when she photographs you! So I highly recommend this option to anyone who wants a special photographic experience! Call her and have her capture your in the comfort of your own home! We did and she did a fabulous job for us! Thanks you Marlene! And btw, these photos of Cheryl and Jeff are precious! :-)

Family Closeness

Isn’t this one great?!   You just...

another ‘in home’ portrait session!

I spent the last 4 days in Brandon again and had a few adventures.  Firstly the drive through white-out conditions was tense - then an evening viewing some wonderful images at a “Wine & Cheese” Reception featuring some African images, then a maternity session and a portrait session!   I’ll be posting these from the last...

March 31, 2009 - 8:55 am Inge - Oh Marlene.... These are so wonderful! I am speechless, which is very unusual for me. :-D You have truly captured the love Michael and I have for each other, and I believe that no one in this whole world could have done this, except for you. You are 'family', and hence you can respond to the love we have for each other. Thank you for being a friend, a mentor, a business adivsor and our family photographer. We love you!

March 31, 2009 - 2:39 pm Desmond - The last image is spectacular! I told Inge that she has to do something with it, Definitely!! It's so emotionally charged - perhaps we can convince her to find a new home for some of her art in the living room and print a 50" canvas for the great wall! Great Job Marlene
