A little More about me
Hi, I’m Marlayna!
I’m a brand, event, food and editorial photographer based between Baltimore and DC. I love to document your stories, projects, and connections.



Whether it’s photographing your event, your brand or project, your milestones, or simply who you are right now, I’m in!
I love seeing and exploring the connections in the human experience, so maybe that’s why I’m interested in documenting as much as possible through photography. And I love documenting your important, meaningful, and valuable moments and projects – both personally and in our communities. I love getting to learn about, and photograph, people who are doing cool and important things (including in my new role as photographer at AACC, or for publications like Baltimore Home and more!). And I love getting to work with other small businesses and share what they do!
My style incorporates a documentary and candid feel, but I’ll also be giving you posing tips and advice as we work together. Ultimately, I always want you to come away from a session feeling like it was fun and relaxed! After 10+ years I hope to be able to give you plenty of guidance along the way!
I am located in Howard County, and work all over Baltimore, Maryland, DC and nearby areas.
Thank you to Britney Clause and Mary Bell for the portraits!
