I'M MARILYN
I was born and raised in Atlanta and spent my college years at the University of Georgia. I currently reside in Atlanta with my sweet husband, David.
I absolutely love getting to photograph moments for friends and family. It is a great way to meet new people and give back. Seeing people's reaction when they see themselves is priceless. It brings me pure joy to be able to do what I love while making so many people happy.
A few things I love in life: sushi and poke bowls, golden retrievers, fall mornings, afternoon boat rides at the lake, espresso martinis, walks on the beach, and Sunday brunch.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
For years, I used to travel with my small digital camera. I would take picture after picture of buildings and landscapes - see below. My love for photography continued to grow along with my love for travel. Finally I bought my first Nikon DSLR camera in middle school. It came alongside me on countless travels within the US and to Europe, it inspired countless photo shoots with my friends, and it led to my knowledge and foundation of my photography today.
Fast forward a few years, in 2019 I started taking photos of friends. In 2020 I bought my first full frame camera and began taking graduation photos, engagement photos and more. Over the past 3 years I have photographed over 100 sessions, taught myself everything I know, and advanced to even start photographing weddings. My love for photography continues to grow as I learn more. I am proud of where I am and how I got here, and excited for what is to come.
What type of sessions do you do?
Everything from weddings to family pictures to students and engagements!
When will we get our photos?
I am always just as excited as you are to see the final product. I try to get your albums back to you within two weeks. You will receive a link to your online gallery. All photos are downloadable, and the album is available on my website for 60 days. For weddings, I need about 5-6 weeks to deliver your album!
How many photos do we get back?
I don't believe in setting a number! I want to give you back as much as I can. It truly ranges on how long our session was.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Atlanta, GA. Traveling is one of my favorite things, so yes, I would love to travel to take your photos if I am available! Please note, there is always an extra charge for travel outside of Atlanta.
What if I don't see the type of session I want?
Please reach out to me! I would love to talk to you about your vision and make it come to life!
