Hi! I'm Mari Lianne. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I'm a photographer based out in Oregon but I do travel.  My style is light, fresh, colorful, fun and candid.  I am fond of photography that showcases the beauty of the subject so expect soft, blurry backgrounds.  I love smiles but also love how the solemn look allows the soul to show through wide open eyes.

A little bit more about me?

I am an island girl that grew up in Guam. I am a daughter of bright stars, both involved in the technology field. I am the oldest of three girls.  My father was the family photographer and videographer. He captured my family's priceless moments on film. Still to this day, I still love looking back at them and remembering the laughter, tears and memories.

175937990_be1d0a0a6f_w175937990_be1d0a0a6f_w I found the love of my life in college.  We moved to Oregon to start a little family of our own.  If anyone is into numbers, we've been together 29 years and married for 25.
Through the modern miracle of in-vitro fertilization, we conceived our first child. Sadly, we lost him, Johnathan Francis, at 18 weeks gestation.  I donate my time and talent to various infant/child loss and adoption organizations in the area in memory of Johnathan. 33341845390_a426d26728_w33341845390_a426d26728_w

We added the cutest corgi princess in the universe, Twinkie Mae, to our family in 2013. (Note: Twinkie Mae isn't chubby... she's a fluffy corgi.)

I lost my young mother at the age of 48 after a courageous two year battle with gastric cancer while pregnant with my youngest, Jenna Lauren.  I support hospice care and I donate my services to other hospice programs in memory of my mom, Lulu.

My husband Jerry is active in the Air Force reserves and has been deployed several times after 9/11.  Please let me know if you have a member of the family currently in the armed forces. I currently offer complimentary "welcome home" sessions to our servicemen and servicewomen.

 

In 2007, I decided to follow the steps of my father and with the urging of my late mother... found my calling in photography. I love to capture life in it's true form. I urge you, even if you can't afford my services, to continue to take photographs with whatever device you can acquire.  Capture those memories.  They're so important.

Much love,

Mari Lianne
