Marlee and her husband Glenn have been married for over 20 years. They have two beautiful daughters. Maranda attends Frostburg State University. Mariah attends Allegany College of MD. Glenn and Marlee are also the owners of Old House Country Treasures. Both are located in the same building.

Born in Altoona, PA, she moved to Keyser in middle-school. An alumni of Keyser High School, and also having a degree in nursing, she now resides in Rawlings, MD, just one mile from the WV state line and two miles from life images studio in Keyser.

Her sister Marcella of Marcella Kile Photography and photographer for the Mineral Daily News Tribune, was fatally injured in an accident when they were both in their early 20's. For years after that tragic moment in Marlee's life, her family and friends encouraged Marlee to step out and to start making something with her own talent. By then Marlee had years of freelance photography experience herself. A few years after her sister passed on, she understood that no one thought of her as trying to replace her sister or her work. It gave Marlee the peace and realization that she and her sister shared a common bond, an interest and inherent talent.

Marlee came to the point that she could not keep up with both her nursing career and the growing demand of the photography business. She then opened her own studio in 2002. She continues to do volunteer nursing but has placed that profession on hold. As the Senior Photographer/Owner of Life Images Photography, Marlee hopes to one day volunteer her nursing and photographic skills in the missionary field abroad. She recently signed to volunteer for UNICEF. Once Marlee is free to travel, her desire is to work with third world countries fighting hunger and disease, with a focus on children. Having taken three years of Spanish in high school, she would like to broaden those language skills if the opportunity arises.

Marlee loves to capture the smiles of children and of a family together, the innocence and curiosity of animals, the personality of each of her subjects-especially Senior High Grads, in their expressive age, and a couple in love on their very special day!

Besides Marlee's love for photography and animals, Marlee enjoys traveling-anywhere-if even for a day. She enjoys being outdoors, planting trees and watching them grow over the years, picnics, a long day at the beach, lots of sunshine, a walk in the moonlight, walking & hiking through the woods, writing/journaling, spending quality time with her family and friends, and time playing in the yard with her dogs-especially her BF-Yorkie named Bitzy. She also enjoys her Conure (small parrot) named Kiwi, who has lots to say.

As an animal rescuer, lover & photographer of all animals-mostly K-9's and Birds, she captures many of God's creature's best poses. Having several dogs herself, mostly rescued, she says that getting that special photo simply takes patience. She believes God placed domestic animals on earth for all of us to enjoy, and to be true companions to us.

Marlee was once a Girl Scout, and a leader in Girl Scouts while her daughters were growing up. She knows first hand how important volunteering is, as she can tell you many stories of how volunteers have touched her own life, and how giving to others has been a blessing to her.

She has no doubt that her faith in Christ is the reason she has accomplished all that she has in life. Marlee's faith has seen her through many moments that would have otherwise been unbearable. Her hope is that you know or may come to know the Peace that passes all understanding.
