Marlene Clayton Photography
Thanks for coming! Iβm Marlene and Iβm based in NW Chicago. I want to make sure you donβt forget this chapter of your life. Whether youβre celebrating, grieving or anything, I want to help you document it.
I love bright, clean and timeless photographs that age well & capture the joy youβre feeling with your loved ones! I want you to be able to look back on your photos and be transported to how you felt at that moment.
I really do believe photographs in the home can help families feel stronger, more connected, and increase self-esteem in kids. Thatβs been my experience in my own home.
Let's capture your life stories together so you can remember them for years to come!
A year ago some of our very good friends were packing up to move the next dayβ¦ and they were moving so far away out of state. You know those really good friends, that are raw and earthy, and sometimes you donβt talk very often at all, but theyβre the best? Well thatβs Baby Deanβs parents to us! His mama is the best and helped me so much in our infertility journey(s)! I miss them so much.
This is our first 100th Day Celebration newborn session! Baby Audrey was so cute. She was pretty serious when we started! But she opened up with her grandparents singing to her :) Audrey was born about 1 month before our youngest, so itβs been fun to keep in touch with her mama and hearing about her milestones. Each baby is so different!
Meet Baby Jack! He has the coolest, natural hair-do and the most adoring parents there ever were! He is so loved and it was the best getting to capture their love for each other. Even though babies are tiny, they totally love their parents.
Letβs Be Friends
We got to take Ardenβs senior photos! She is such a smart and bright young lady that makes everyone feel so comfortable around her!
