			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">I first met Marlie when she came to see me in September 2005.  She&#8217;s originally from South Africa living in Manitoba and has such a sweet demeanor.  She wanted portraits taken of her pet, Emily.  Emily was quite a handful and Marlie had to bribe her with treats!  I had a blast at that session!</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1274" title="060" src="http://www.marlenesdesignerportraits.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/060.jpg" alt="060" width="816" height="604" /></p>
<p>Well, just recently Marlie called again and came in for a consult and I was introduced to little Xander!  What a sweet little boy.  Marlie is now married to Roy &#8211; moved away from here &#8211; but came back to see me to capture her new little family.</p>
<p>I really enjoy working with clients like this &#8211; the session just flowed so beautifully and every image I seemed to take I just knew was going to be a winner.  Here is a sampling of some of my favorite images from that session&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1276" title="4723_28" src="http://www.marlenesdesignerportraits.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/4723_28.jpg" alt="4723_28" width="816" height="459" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1277" title="4784" src="http://www.marlenesdesignerportraits.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/4784.jpg" alt="4784" width="816" height="677" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1278" title="4794" src="http://www.marlenesdesignerportraits.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/4794.jpg" alt="4794" width="544" height="656" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1279" title="duplessis_4748" src="http://www.marlenesdesignerportraits.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/duplessis_4748.jpg" alt="duplessis_4748" width="816" height="703" /></p>
<p>These are my 3 favorites!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1280" title="4860" src="http://www.marlenesdesignerportraits.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/4860.jpg" alt="4860" width="544" height="656" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1281" title="4880" src="http://www.marlenesdesignerportraits.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/4880.jpg" alt="4880" width="816" height="564" /></p>
<p>And this one is going on my wall as a studio sample!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1282" title="4897" src="http://www.marlenesdesignerportraits.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/4897.jpg" alt="4897" width="544" height="788" /></p>
<p>When I asked Marlie to sign my guest book&#8230; this is what she wrote&#8230; <em>&#8220;Marlene: You have captured a treasury of moments for my family.  What a privilege to be able to see the world and it&#8217;s beauty through your eyes.  I could not be more appreciative for the kindness and professionalism with which you approach your work.&#8221;<br />
</em></p>
<p>Thank you Marlie, Roy and Xander!  Hope to see you again.</p>
