Capturing Candid Moments for a Lifetime of Memories

Meet Marlena Tulov, your Lifestyle/family Photographer

The person behind the camera


Hello, My name is Marlena Tulov, I am a local photographer serving Northern Illinois & Southern WI. I specialize in lifestyle/family photography including in home newborn, birthday/milestone, portraits & more.


My love photography began in high school, when I stepped into the darkroom and developed my first strip of film. Seeing an image come to life sparked a passion that had grown over the years. I strive to capture genuine, heartfelt moments that tell your story.


As a devoted wife and mom, my family is my greatest inspiration. I understand the importance of preserving little moments that make life beautiful. Whether it's a playful session with your little ones, a cozy in-home shoot, or a golden hour family adventure, I aim to create images that feel natural & timeless.


When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me with a book in hand, traveling and exploring new places, trying new recipes in the kitchen, or simply enjoying time with friends & family.

Life is a collection of moments, and I am beyond grateful for the oppurtunity to capture them.


I'd love to help tell your story. Let's create beautiful

memories together!
