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! :-)
