If you told me photography was going to be my career 10 years ago, I wouldn’t have believed it. But, looking back, all the signs were there and just had not been fully realized. I have always been attracted to imagery, and was obsessed with fashion magazines growing up… so naturally when trying to figure out what the heck to do with my life, I chose an education in fashion. I imagined I would love city life and working in the corporate world, never wanting to return to my Berkshire roots…. but boy was I wrong.

Raised by artist parents in multicultural surroundings, Marion pulls her deepest inspiration from her roots. Whether that be the intricacies of delicate handmade French lace from her summers in France, to the bold Brazilian tiles of historic towns in Bahia where her father lived.

Elmartin Farm derives its name from the initials and last name of Everett Lawrence Martin, Sr, father to Everett Lawrence Martin Jr., known as "Gus," who with his wife, Dodi are the current owners of the farm. Presently, sons, Kim and Shawn, operate and manage the farm. They are the 8th generation of ancestral Martins who began farming in Cheshire, MA in 1790. By the late 1950s, Elmartin Farm had become a major dairy farm in the Northern Berkshire County. Its herd grew to 80 milkers and 80 head of youngstock.

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Browtine Photography. I grew up in Western Massachusetts in a very creative family. When I traveled to Australia in high school my mother sent me with five rolls of film, yes FILM! However, when I returned from my trip with 27 rolls of film I realized that photography was and is my passion.
