Portrait Photographer & Memory Maker

Hey Y'all!
I'm Marlena!
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. :-)
Photography came naturally to me, I’ve always been attracted to the camera. As a bored only child, I picked up my family’s film camcorder and started recording. Fast forward to high school, I enrolled in a Graphic Design class and discovered the art of self portraiture through digital photography. From there I found that taking beautiful photos of others that they loved proved to be much more worthwhile.
And so, I studied conceptual photography and art in college, and got my Bachelor's degree from VCUarts in Photography & Film, just so I could do this for the rest of my life! I can’t think of a better way to fulfill my purpose on this earth than to create magical, timeless memories for people. I am so fortunate to be able to do so.
