Bio
I’m Marlena, the heart behind Salty Soul Photography. I believe the best photos aren’t posed, they’re felt — the laughter, the chaos, the quiet in-between moments. With a candid, earthy style, I capture stories you’ll treasure long after the moment.

Anniversary pictures
My husband and I were celebrating our 29th anniversary and Marlena captured our love and admiration so wonderfully we just absolutely adore her photos. Will be booking again for a much larger family photo shoot.. Don’t hesitate to book her. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing with baby
I trust her with my baby 100%, the studio space was warm and comfortable. She was patient while we handled our newborn sweet baby. We already have next sessions booked to capture more memories.

Great work
Marlena did a lifestyle patriotic shoot for our little homeschool group and we had so much fun. She worked great with the kids and the shots we got were beautiful.
