"We have been so happy we have chosen TruYou Photography as our family has grown. I am not always confident selecting colors or outfits, but Mariellen provides great guidance before, during, and after a session. She is also able to handle the energy of our boys so well, and captures moments that make choosing prints so challenging!" -- Jackye Bowlin

Outdoor kids portraits, Marion, Cedar Rapids, Eastern Iowa
"I love working with Mariellen at TruYou Photography! She started taking pictures when the girls were pretty little and she was always so good with them. Then when I had my son she took newborn pics and family pictures all at the same time. She's so patient with the kids (and the Dads! - lol) and captures beautiful moments! She makes it hard when choosing photos because I want them all! I've recommended her to several people and their pictures always turn out amazing. I refer her every chance I get!" -- Tiffany Meier

Outdoor kids photography, Marion, Cedar Rapids, Eastern Iowa
"Our experience with TruYou Photography has been phenomenal. Mariellen does an outstanding job engaging our two young daughters, regardless of how tired, excited and fast-moving they are that day. She's talented at capturing their individual personalities.
Mariellen has a great eye for blending colors, bold textures and landscapes to create a truly vibrant image. She is, not only uniquely talented behind the camera, but also in terms of logistics, client relations, and overall experience.
She really delivers. She is mindful of the needs of our family and is efficient with our time, as the kids expire quickly. But she still manages to catch those show-stopper photos that we are looking for. She has a clear plan in place of locations, settings, props and lighting when we arrive and is still extremely flexible and innovative on site, which allows her to catch some of those one-of-a-kind images." -- Christina Smithdaughtersyoungvibrantkidsphotosportraitspicturesoutdoorfamily
