PET SESSIONS

-Dogs, Cats, Horses, Lizards, Birds - all pets are welcome!-

Pets are family. Anyone who is lucky enough to have one knows that! It’s so important to capture their personality, quirks and joy so you can smile over and over again. From a spunky puppy finding out he has a tail, to a seasoned pro catching a tennis ball mid-air - all of these moments deserve to be remembered forever! That’s where a pet photo session comes in. I will spend as much time as needed so your pet feels comfortable enough to show me their true personality.

You and your furry friend will have fun, smile, laugh and possibly get really muddy. But it will be worth it when you see the photos. Pet Sessions include a session for all of your pets, an online gallery of proofs and plenty of treats! Digital file packages/print products are chosen after viewing the proofs.

Sue:

“We met Marlee at Chestnut Ridge on a beautiful fall day in October! My dogs fell in love with her instantly and pretty much did anything she asked them to do! It was a great session! So much fun! Marlee, you have a gift! Photographing dogs is not easy, but you made it seem that way! You have friends for life named Cooper and Sophie! Thank you so much!”

THE GOLDEN SESSION

-for elderly or terminally ill pets-

“Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog” - Sydney Jeanne Seward

Pets are our greatest gift, yet we only have them for a short time. It’s the quiet moments, the funny looks, the soft fur and the little smiles that you want to hold on to. Those memories can be captured and cherished forever through photography.

Consider investing in a Golden Session. You will receive beautiful photographs of your beloved pet, lasting memories and a big hug if you need one. The session will be a celebration of who your furry family member is, and I promise you will smile looking back on it. The Golden Session offers priority scheduling, unlimited time, an online gallery of proofs and a small memento.

Laura:

“Marlee made a miracle happen for us tonight. Our time is borrowed. But our love is endless. she captured that for us. She got the good, the bad, and the down right "yeah, that's jenny"... I couldn't have asked for a more amazing, compassionate, or kind soul to handle tonight. From Jenny, myself, my family, and ALL of Jenny's fans - THANK YOU. Your talent will never be forgotten. Your compassion will live on in the pictures we will cherish of Jenny.”

FAMILY SESSIONS

You don’t need a specific occasion to celebrate the love in your family! So many beautiful moments can be captured in an every day family session. Coming from a biggish family (3 brothers - yikes!) I truly adore and cherish all the crazy moments. Let’s capture the groans and side-eye, the 2.5 second hug between siblings, and the wild piggyback rides. These moments are quick to disappear, so what better way to treasure them forever than with a fun, genuine family session? And don’t forget to bring your pets!

Cathy:

“After using the same place for a few years, I was ready for a change in photographers. I was given Marlee's name by a friend, and am very happy that I contacted her. The photos she took of us are amazing, and she was so easy to work with during the photo shoot. She got some great shots of us and our son, a few candid (it started to snow during the shoot, and he stuck his tongue out to catch a few snowflakes, she got that shot, and its one of my favorites!). I will be contacting her again for our annual family photos!"

MAMA BEAR SESSIONS

-Maternity-

You are strong. You are beautiful. You are pregnant! What an exciting time for you and your changing body. Maternity sessions are a great way to capture this special moment in your life. Whether it’s for an announcement, a canvas for the nursery, or just for you - this session is a must for all mamas!

These photographs are the perfect start to an incredible journey. Imagine looking back on them - the first photos of you and your baby! I absolutely love these sessions because everyone is just glowing in them. Mama Bear Sessions include an online gallery of proofs and a discount on a newborn session!

Gabrielle:

"Marlee did a maternity shoot for us to capture a moment we didn’t want to forget. She picked the absolute perfect location and ideas for photos since we had no clue what we really wanted! We got the photos so quickly and they came out better then I could have imagined! Thank you Marlee for getting us our first photos with our baby boy!"

LITTLE LAMB SESSIONS

-Newborn-

You are having a baby. Maybe it’s your first and you are nervous, maybe it’s your third and you’re a pro. Either way, this little, soft angel is coming and you want to capture how perfect they are. Newborn sessions are a great way to look back on the birth of your child and remember the good times, not just the pooping and screaming!

If you are interested in an in-home, lifestyle newborn session, please send me a message. I love capturing the candid moments that happen naturally. Little Lamb Sessions include a session for the new babe and family (parents, siblings, pets) and an online gallery of proofs.

Amy:

“Marlee is AMAZING! She was so great to work with and made everyone feel comfortable! All of the pictures came out wonderfully and I love every single one of them! I really look forward to working with her again!”
