A photographer drawn to light and love - the way it slips across a field at golden hour, or lingers in the sky a little longer than everyone else sticks around to watch. I've chased that light since I was a kid with a camera, and it's what Life in Focus (and my moon logo) is built around.

Rooted in Washington, always chasing the next horizon - Jackson Hole, Southern California, and this February, Europe. Ten-plus years in, my favorite stories are still love stories: engagements, couples, and now weddings. I document not just what you see, but what you feel. My husband and I have our own love story, which is why yours matters so much to me.

Welcome, I'm marlee

Whether we're shooting golden hour in an open field or somewhere entirely new, I approach every session with presence, calm, and intention. I believe in soft direction over stiff posing, organic movement over perfection, and edits that protect the mood of the moment instead of manufacturing one.

Each gallery I deliver is crafted not just for now, but for years ahead, for the day you forget the exact way your partner looked at you mid-laugh, and these photos remind you.
