Photography became my refuge....

A way to freeze time and bottle the essence of those cherished days spent with loved ones. Through the lens, I discovered a means to transcend distances, to revisit the landscapes of my past and weave them into the fabric of my present.

Now, my mission is to extend this gift to you—to help safeguard your own legacy. In every frame, I aim to capture not just images but the emotions, the stories, and the essence of your journey.

I could really go on and on about how grateful and thankful I am to of found Marien. If you need a photographer who will give her all at any event and will make sure you have fun (brings music) then book Marien.

My Values


Authentic Expression


I believe in the power of art to authentically express the depth of human emotions. I value genuine and heartfelt creations that capture the essence of each moment, allowing viewers to connect with the raw emotions portrayed in my artwork.


Embracing The Present


In a world saturated with technology, I am dedicated to creating artwork that fosters genuine connections and encourages being present in the moment. I believe in the power of art to invite individuals to pause, disconnect from distractions, and immerse themselves in the richness of their current surroundings. Through my creations, I aim to inspire mindfulness, reflection, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and authenticity of the world around us.


Embracing Vulnerability


I embrace vulnerability as a vital element in the creative process. I believe that by exposing my own vulnerabilities through my artwork.

I create a genuine and profound connection with my clients. I value the courage to express and explore the depths of emotions, and I invite others to join me on this vulnerable journey of self-discovery and connection.
