Marianne Brown Photography

Welcome to my blog page where I post new pics of amazing peeps, special life changing moments, and awesome places from my extravagant life adventure;) A little about myself: My identity - I am originally from SOUTH Georgia, I grew up on a small farm that is still home to me;) I love animals and open spaces, family and friends, art, travel, interesting people, coffee in the mornings, a good glass wine (or two;), flowers, bikes, mountains, a good thunderstorm, long walks on the beach- of course, and let's not forget … I am, in a minor way, obsessed with taking pictures;) I graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Photography. After college, I followed my feelings towards the romantic American west, where I am currently still exploring and soaking up amazing sights, people, and experiences in colorful Colorado! I feel grateful to have photography as a way to share all the beautiful places and people that I encounter on a daily basis. So please enjoy, and if you would like to contact me, do so from the info below. I would love to photograph your wedding, child, pet, or lonely beta fish, and p.s. wherever you are, my passport is always up to date;) ~Marianne p| 229.457.0975 e| mariannebrownphotography@gmail.com
