I‘ll never forget when Mark & Kym had us over for dinner. We ate hot dogs. Please don’t be fooled…these were not just any hot dogs-they were beyond delicious, perfectly cooked Bratwurst. As we sat down to eat, Kym handed around a plate of Sauerkraut that she had MADE FROM SCRATCH. Wait. Let me say that again: She made Sauerkraut from scratch. You see, Kym is the type of person who celebrates everything in life… she is the type of person who makes everything (even a hot dog dinner) incredible..And that’s why she’s amazing.
Just a few months ago, Kym found out that she has cancer. But she did just as Kym does in any situation…she looked at the situation & made it hers. She bought some darling scarves, had her hair cut & colored & called me up for a photo shoot. Because Kym is the type of person who looks at the glass as not only half full, but completely full. She counts her blessings & truly accentuates the positive in everything she does. She is strong, wonderful woman who I admire. And if there is anyone who is going to give Cancer a run for it’s money, it’s Kym.
I loved getting together with Kym & her sweet husband Mark for a photo shoot. They are so in love & so sweet towards each other. I love the way that Mark looks at Kym & I love how Mark makes her laugh. They are two exemplary people who I adore & I loved spending time with them for this session.
Mark & Kym: thank you both so much for this fun shoot! You guys are so perfect together & it is so obvious how much you support & love each other. Thank you for being my friends-I simply adore you both…xoxo, marielle.
Ughhhhhh….I LOVE this photograph. They are so in love…

She is vivacious. Sweet. Bossy. Funny. Smart. Perfect. She is the perfect little bundle of happiness & I’m lucky enough to claim her as my sweet little girl. And she is by far the most gorgeous, perfect & fabulous person I will ever capture with my lens. And I love her with all my heart.
Yesterday I got Hadley all dolled up & took her on a little photo shoot. This is such a sweet & darling age & I wanted to capture her in all of her curiosity & sweetness. Here’s Hadley in all of her 2.5 year old glory….
Oh please. Seriously-I want to squeeze those chubby cheeks.
Love.LOVE.LOVE this photograph.
I guess you could say that it literally was all in the cards. That Tiffany & Bud’s paths were meant to cross. Tiffany was working as a blackjack dealer in Las Vegas. Bud was on vacation & just happened to be playing at Tiffany’s table. And they both agree that from the moment they met, that their lives were forever changed. Tiffany instantly noticed Bud’s charm & loved his sense of humor. Bud told Tiffany that she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life. And that’s how their story began….
After they met, Bud’s vacation ended & he flew back home to Canada. After being home for a few days, he tracked Tiffany down online & they began emailing & texting each other. They eventually mustered up the courage to call each other on the phone. Something clicked between the two of them & they decided that they needed to meet up again. Bud booked a flight to Vegas & that’s when they just knew that they were undoubtably in love.
Tiffany moved all the way up to Canada so she & Bud could be together. They are a fun, fantastic couple who love to be together more than anything else. I was lucky enough to snag them up for a session while they were visiting family in the Bay Area. It rained SO HARD during parts of this shoot but we had a blast! I know Tiffany from High School (gooooooooo Huskies!) & it was neat for me to see how happy she is with Bud. They wanted some fun shots of themselves in an urban area & I was so excited to take them to this location! Here are my favorites from their fun shoot!
This just might be one of my favorite photographs ever. Love. Love. LOVE.

I first met Garrett last year at his sister’s wedding. When his mom contacted me about shooting Garrett’s senior portraits, I was super excited. Knowing how fabulous his sister was in front of the camera, I was sure that being photogenic was in their family gene pool. And I was sooooo right…
We decided that we should shoot his senior portraits at the UNR campus. It was such a perfect day, the campus was empty, the lighting was gorgeous & beautiful trees & flowers in bloom. Garrett was so easy going, so fun to talk to & such a positive, happy guy. He is a drum major in his school band & is majorly–I mean MAJORLY talented. Didya check out his feathered hat? He let me try it on…see-I told you that he was awesome. We had a great time walking around campus, talking about high school, talking about things we’ve put inside microwaves (forks, cd’s…the list goes on & on) & talking about music. Garrett is a great guy & I know that there are wonderful opportunities ahead for him!
Here are a few of my favorites from his Senior Session!
The chairs were all set up for UNR’s graduation & so we got some fun shots on the white chairs…
This photograph turned out to be one of my favorites from this shoot…
