We have had these Kissing Gourami for almost 5 years now and we have had our goldfish for almost 6! The Gourami stole the show. Camera hogs! Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI

Michael had gotten me a crystal ball for Christmas because I have wanted one for photography and today was the first day that I have taken it out of the house. My friend stopped by to visit me while she is back in town and we took a ride around and snapped a few! The crystal ball is so neat because it flips the image of whatever is on the other side of it. I can't wait to use it more often. I already have a bunch of ideas! Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2015 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI Here are just a few of the many shots I got of Ashley. It was great working with her and her down to earth personality. She is truly beautiful inside and out! Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI We had a great Christmas and I thought I would share a few snaps. I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked to but sometimes you just have to enjoy the now and not worry about getting that shot. Living in the moment is a struggle that I as a photographer have because I'm constantly wanting to capture the moment instead of live in it! As much as I don't like winter I have to admit it was the prettiest Christmas. The snow has just been gorgeous hanging off the trees. Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI Today I took some self portraits or as in this day and age they are called selfies lol! I purchased a tiny wireless remote for my camera and thought I would try it out. It comes in very handy for this sort of stuff. Anyhow, this is me! Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI This past November I had the delight of working with Miss Jayde. She is a princess in many ways and you cannot help but to get swept up in her cuteness! Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI Yesterday I decided to cruise around town with my camera. I have the most fun exploring new photo opportunities. This is my version of a good time! Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI Today I thought I'd try and get some pictures of our dogs by the Christmas tree. It didn't go as planned but in the end the shots that I thought that I would hate ended up being the ones that I loved the most. Nibbler is a Black Labrador Retriever and Chewie is a Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix, AKA: "Shorkie" - It is always hard to get pictures of Nibbler. She is constantly on the move! Take a peek behind the scenes, LOL Happy Howlidays!Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI We finally got our tree decorated. The house feels so cozy with it all lit up. I love it! Christmas Cards are ready to be sent & the presents are wrapped. The countdown has begun! Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI Michael and I went to my parents' house for Thanksgiving dinner. We had it on Friday instead of Thursday because my Mom and I were out of town on Thanksgiving Day. Normally we make a big to-do and bust out the fine china but this year she just wanted to keep it simple. When we got there she was racing around the kitchen telling me to put the camera down and to get the crescent rolls in the oven. Lucky for her I can multi-task, LOL! Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI This is my Father: Today my Mom and I went out of town to go Christmas shopping and we hit up some of the early black Friday deals. Before we left town she asked my Dad if we had any rope to strap something down in the trunk if we needed to. He said no and just as we began to pull out of the driveway he rushed out of the garage to hand me some he found. I could not have set this shot up better if I tried. From his American flag flying free in the background to his prized Dodge that he drove home in 1986 when they lived in Florida. In December of 1988 my Dad had a terrible accident while in the Navy stationed in Bermuda. It has since left him brain injured and wheel chair bound. After the accident he was left comatose leaving all the ones around him in wonder if he will ever wake up again. With that not only flipping my Mothers world upside-down, she was also 6 months pregnant with yours truly. This photo screams my father in so many ways. The ways I only know of him but like the saying goes; a picture TRULY can be worth a thousand words.

Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI Michael and I went to town today and I decided to bring my camera. We picked out our Christmas tree, bought some new ornaments and brought our dogs over to my Moms house for a visit. Winter is definitely here to stay in the U.P. of Michigan! Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI Here are a few of my B&W favorites that I have taken along the way. Going through old hard drives brings back many memories! It was hard to narrow them down. Circa 2004 and on... Marilyn Manfrom Photography Copyright 2014 © MMP - IRON RIVER, MI Here are a few of my color favorites that I have taken along the way.
