Hamilton, New Jersey Newborn & Family photographer

Lifestyle & portrait PHOTOGRAPHY


I believe that silly and serious pictures can live in harmony and that every moment is beautiful in the right light.


Hi, I’m Marlena—a newborn and family photographer based in Hamilton Square, New Jersey. I believe that every moment is worth documenting, but the best ones are the ones you get to fully enjoy. That’s where I come in! Whether I’m tagging along on your latest adventure, capturing the joy of a celebration, or finding the beauty in the quiet moments at home, I’m here for it all. From long kisses and silly faces (both in front of and behind the lens) to those brilliant, love-filled smiles—I can’t wait to tell your story through my lens.

Here’s what my Clients say about their experience

.01

She has captured both engagement pictures and now in-home maternity pictures for us. She made me feel not only comfortable, but confident and beautiful as we figured out what shots would be best for my maternity shoot. She is patient, genuine, and willing to do whatever it takes to help your vision come to life. I love how our maternity pics came out, and I can't wait for her to come back for a newborn session once our son arrives!

I am still in AWE from my mini session with Marlena. I felt like my pup was all over the place so when I got access to my photo gallery I was truly shocked. She captured the CUTEST pictures of us. These are photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. 10/10 recommend Marlena and her beautiful work! I can’t wait to work with her again in the future.
