About
Hello and welcome here!
A little about me:
I grew up in southwest Saskatchewan. I went to college in Winnipeg, lived in Nova Scotia for a bit, hopped across the country to the We(s)t Coast and I’m now back in Winnipeg. I am drawn to wide open spaces, whether it’s a prairie sky or open ocean – love it.
When I was young, my Dad took lots of pictures. There was a separate crisper in the fridge for film! He gave me my first SLR – a Pentax Spotmatic – when I was grade 9. I was hooked.
As I grew up, I wanted to make photography my everyday. I worked in photolabs and camera stores. I studied at North Island College on Vancouver Island and worked with professional photographers there before moving to Vancouver.
Vancouver is where I started Imaging by Marlis in 2009. Since 2014 and based in Winnipeg, Imaging by Marlis became Marlis Funk Photography.
My images are about connecting. I want to get to know you. I love to create portraits and bring out the stories in the images.
I’d love to meet at talk about our next photo session! Say Hello to get started.
