Claussen Photography is a Wedding and Portrait Photographer in the Quad City Area. Combining her passions of photography and the arts.

Marla Brown the owner and photographer of Claussen Photography, started her roots in the Quad Cities growing up on a farm in rural Bettendorf. Upon graduating from Pleasant Valley High School she moved to Los Angeles to travel the world dancing with The Young Americans. She was blessed to travel to many countries going into schools and sharing her passion for performing with kids. After 3 years Marla decided to go to school for photography at Hallmark Institute of Photography in Western Massachusetts and then worked as an assistant for 2 years in New York City before moving home to Bettendorf to pursue her dream of owning her own studio. She was fortunate to learn and work with the Hurst Corporation as an assistant for Cosmo, Seventeen and Opera Magazine, as well as an assistant for Lois Greenfield one of the top dance photographers in the world, photographing companies such as Juilliard, Huston Ballet, ABT, and Sydney Opera everyday. However working for high end wedding photographers Justin & Mary Marantz is where she knew that wedding and portrait photography was the path she wished to take. She moved home and started her business in September of 2010 and is thankful to get to do what she loves every day since. She loves meeting and working with couples so deeply in love, and capturing the special moments that they will someday show their children. Nothing is more fulfilling than photographing a child just a few days into their life, or the abundant laughter and innocence of a young child, and the excitement and endless possibility of a student about to embark on their own, finding the perfect path for them in this world. Life is not made in the moments of posed smiles its the relationships, laughter, and emotions that fill the frame of her camera that she wants to share with the world.
