Marjorie began her photography journey with her first DSLR while building a portfolio as an event floral designer, but soccer soon became her true passion. As her three boys grew up playing the game, she returned to photography on recreational and club soccer fields before a chance meeting gave her the opportunity cover her first Union game as a member of the press in 2018. Since joining Philly Soccer Page as a staff photographer in May 2019, she has covered the Union across major competitions including the Concacaf Champions Cup, Leagues Cup and playoffs. She has also covered the U.S. Women’s National Team and the "SheBelieves" Cup. Her work focuses on capturing the emotion, intensity, and unforgettable moments that bring fans closer to the heart of the game.
