Grateful, Thankful, Friends

This is just a random post.  The sun is shining – it’s a beautiful day here in southern Manitoba (although it could be a bit warmer).  I’ve actually been spending a few hours thinking.  Yes, truly!  Thinking about a lot of things.  That’s what I do when I have some free time.  And that’s why...

Inge - I blush Marlene! It is you who brought me to where I am in my photography career. Your mentoring has made me what I am today, without you I would not be as successful in my chosen second career. We love having you here in Brandon, and miss you as soon as you have rounded the corner on your way home. It seems we feed off eachother, whether we’re talking shop, or Africa or Disney. :-) I’m so glad you are my friend. Already looking forward to having you back on the August long weekend.

Anyone want an “In-Home Portrait?”

There has been something I have wanted to do for quite some time – and that is “In-Home” Portraits.  I did my first sessions this past March… “awaiting the baby” and again in “another ‘in-home’ portrait session, while in Brandon.  I have been meaning to do more of these – but my clients have been...

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! :-)

awaiting the baby…

Desmond is a photographer from Brandon, MB.  He is originally from South Africa – I love his accent!   He joined the Professional Photographers of Canada-Manitoba a few years ago and that is when I met him for the first time.  My good friend, Inge Skliros introduced me to Desmond.  Desmond is a great photographer and...

Desmondsnyman@me.com - Marlene!
What an awesome job you did! I love these images and they truly capture the spirit of our family! Thank you for doing that for us you are so creative and inspiring all at the same time! I cannot tell you how much these images mean to us – they are magnificent. i am truly blessed to have you and Inge to photograph my family and capture these milestones in our lives with the experience and talent you both have. I need to spend some more time with you, perhaps some of your experience will rub off on me – I am trying the same thing with Inge as well. I hope to be as great and as gracious as the two of you someday. You have blessed us more than I could express. Thank you.

Barbara - Thanks Marlene, these images brought tears to my eyes. It is difficult for us be so far away from Des and Rebecca and not experience the joys of his beautiful family. Thank you for stunning images and thank-you for helping him share his family with us!

Patty Boge - Beautiful work, Marlene! You have a brilliant new concept ahead of you… It just goes to show that you’re so talented that you don’t need your studio lights at all! You can adapt to the environments that surround you everywhere and anywhere!

Nelson Simard - Hey Marlene;
I really like this image. His wife must be thrilled.

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...

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!

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

Share Me…Keep Me…Protect Me… and I will live forever!

I know it’s been quite a while since my last post – my apologies!  But I have been working on some renovations in the studio – moving offices – but also changing my “Castle” set background!    As soon as it is done – I’ll post some images.  It is very Retro and just plain awesome! ...

Patty Boge - Awww… Aren’t you sweet! I can’t wait to see what you do with those images! And you always say you get more out of our time together, but you’re wrong! You’re such an inspiration!!! Can’t wait to do portraits ALL OVER MY HOUSE! You are truly the best!
