About Marianne
Hello and welcome to Buddy & Bug Photography - thank you so much for visiting my site!
A little about me: my interest in photography began when I was given my first point-and-shoot camera as a five year old. In the days of film, my parents made many trips to the local drugstore to develop pictures of my pets, my sister and, of course, my favorite slide at our neighborhood playground. My hobby evolved when I was elected historian of my high school drill team, and I took my passion to the next level when I went on to study journalism at Texas A&M University.
After graduation, I worked as a writer, photographer and editor for several local publications. And because journalism is not known for lucrative salaries, I started booking freelance assignments, photographing social events. I launched Charade Photography in 2007 with a primary emphasis on wedding and event coverage.
At that time, children - quite honestly - scared me. But after the birth of my daughter in 2010, I soon learned nothing in the world compares to capturing the wonderment and smile of a child. It was then I gradually transitioned to children and family portraiture. The name changed to Buddy & Bug Photography in 2015.
While my business has evolved over the last 14 years, my commitment remains the same: quality photographs to last a lifetime. Let me know how I can capture yours!
