Hi, I’m Marlyn
Every family story starts somewhere. Two people at the end of an aisle. A baby brought home. A kitchen table that slowly fills up.
I’ve spent eight years photographing those chapters across West Virginia, and I’m in the middle of my own, with three kids and a husband in Hillsboro.
In their words.
“Sometimes those little moments slip by, but she found them and made them last forever.”
“She didn’t just take pictures—she noticed us.”
“Marlyn has photographed all of my best times… my engagement, my pregnancies, my wedding. I absolutely love her soul and her work.”
“At the end, we left with full hearts, a new friend, and a new favorite day trip location.”
“The photos felt like us—messy, beautiful, completely real.”

The days right after are soft and slow and a little overwhelming. Your session should feel the same way. We start easy. We talk — about motherhood, about how you're doing, about all of it. If the baby needs to nurse we make space for it. If they're fussy we wait. If they fall asleep in your arms we stay right there. I know what I'm looking for. You don't have to.
