Pet Photography

Marijke was wonderful, so patient, so calming. We booked her to do a memorial shoot of our beloved Chocolate Labrador Coco before she made her journey over the Rainbow Bridge- Marijke took her time, and took such beautiful, natural shots of Coco that I’ll treasure for a lifetime

Marieke was fantastic! We had so much fun during the photoshoot, and Marieke was extremely patient with our high-energy Lab. (Including being totally OK with Pep jumping on her and getting her trousers all muddy... So sorry!).
Photos were very natural and Marieke was very accommodating afterwards and edited further a few photos upon our request.

Marieke took some amazing shots of us and Maya both in our flat and at Southwark park . It was all very natural and as we wanted and we have used a number of the pictures for ourselves and as gifts. Marieke was very understanding of what we wanted and was a pleasure to work with and a positive person to spend a couple of hours with . I would highly recommend her and her photography. More...

I gave my adult daughter the gift of a Present Moments Pet Photography photoshoot voucher for Christmas last year. Marieke was very flexible when it came to arranging a date and was brilliant at responding to messages. Marieke came to our house and did a photoshoot with my daughter and two dogs, primarily in the garden. Marieke was so lovely and the session was fun and relaxed. We were so thrilled with the beautiful photos and have given some as gifts this Christmas. I would recommend Present Moments Pet Photography most highly. More...

I was delighted with the service provided by Marieke.She communicated clearly and arrangements were made easily, sensitively and discreetly(the photos were a Christmas present for my wife). We had 3 guinea pigs to photograph who don't sit still and 2 of them fight a bit so the photos taken were a triumph.
Marieke could not do enough,she accommodated all our wishes and requirements totally and my wife was bowled over by the photos,one of which she arranged to be mounted and framed which looks superb.
I have no hesitiation in recommending her.

Amazing photos, and a very kind person. She was very relaxed around our dogs and family members, even with 2 of our dogs being quite excitable. Pleasure to meet you and would hire again. Thanks for everything! More...

Marieke has a real sensitivity to her subjects and is great at capturing their personalities in a very natural way.

21 February 2020

Marieke spent time just getting to know me and Daisy and asked all the right questions in order to understand the kind of image/mood/ emotion that I wanted in the photos. She was able to capture some very high resolution ‘action shots’ as well as more composed images.
Marieke is a lovely, warm, friendly person yet also very professional in her approach. I highly recommend her services.

I was thrilled with the lovely photos of my dog. Marieke is great with people and their pets and made the experience very positive.

17 February 2020

Marieke really brings out the best in pets and took really beautiful photos of my dog. I am thrilled and as a bonus she is a lovely person.

16 February 2020

I am giving a positive review because the experience was altogether a great one! The photographer (Mareike) was easy to communicate with from the start and she was friendly and relaxed with both me and my pets. Very professional too in all aspects and I was very pleased with the quality of her work. I would definitely recommend her. More...

13 February 2020

Working with Marieke was a pleasure. She was very gentle and patient with the kittens who were only 6.5 weeks old when photographed. Some fell asleep due to how relaxed they were with Marieke. The photos had a lovely glow that encapsulated the warmth and playfulness that I was looking for. Once again a lovely photoshoot! More...

10 February 2020

Not only were the photos fantastic, but the whole experience was delightful. Marieke has a real gift for communication- with both people and animals I think. She asked helpful questions about my puppy’s character and quirks and did some posed pics as well as just snapping away as I played ball with Daisy .
A really excellent service and good value , given the time taken and quality of the photos.

Marieke made the photoshoot so fun and enjoyable. She's taken some wonderful photos of our cat that really capture her personality. They have a very artistic feel to them. More...

10 February 2020

Present moments pet photography went above and beyond my expectations when capturing my beautiful kitten Lola! Marieke is a cat whisperer with an ability to capture something extra special in her animal portraits. So glad I went with her and I would highly recommend this service to anyone 😊 More...

10 February 2020

Marieke is obviously a complete pet person. She managed to win over my rather grumpy puss and took some fabulous pictures of her. She works in a calm, methodical way and takes her time. There was nothing rushed about the photo session, which I really appreciated. Marieke's creative eye captured the essence of a much loved animal in pictures which I shall treasure. More...

10 February 2020

Marieke was brilliant - my 4 cats and dog all loved her as soon as she arrived. She was polite, professional and managed to capture my pets personality accurately .Highly recommend.

10 February 2020

Marieke had an instant rapport with my animals. I asked her to take photographs of my cats. She was able to take very natural poses of especially Percy, who is a very anxious rescue cat. All my friends have commented on how relaxed and natural the photographs are. I would thoroughly recommend her. More...

10 February 2020

Marieke came to my flat to photograph my mature and sometimes a bit grumpy female tabby cat called Billy. She was really patient and laid back, and gradually won Billy over with a few treats before the shoot. I could tell that Marieke's a real pet lover. She seemed to understand Billy really well and stayed patient even when she disappeared under the bed for a while! Marieke discussed backgrounds and props with me, so it was nice to share ideas, and we included a vase of flowers in some of the shots. I'm thrilled with the pictures and have displayed some of them in my hallway. Visitors are always admiring them. If you're looking for a really special, good value photoshoot experience with your pet or pets, I'd recommend Marieke very highly. More...

10 February 2020

Marieke was absolutely brilliant, my two cats instantly warmed to her and the shots she got were just perfect showing their nutty personalities! I also enjoyed the session chatting to Marieke about her own cats as well as sharing stories about my own. I'd highly recommend Marieke! More...

10 February 2020

Marieke was a joy to work with. She is totally professional but also friendly and approachable. She obviously has a sincere love of animals (I have 4 cats and a dog) and they all took to her straight away! The photographs she took were amazing, really capturing each animals individual personality. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting beautiful photos of their beloved pets. More...

9 February 2020

Marieke is highly professional in her work ethic. She takes a lot of time ‘whatever is needed’ in order to capture those special moments. She took some amazing shots of my 7 week old kittens. More...

9 February 2020

Marieke is an excellent photographer. She captures the essence of her subject so well, showing their character as well as creating a beautiful image. Some of them have a lovely humour in them too. Cannot recommend her more highly! More...

9 February 2020

I asked Mariek to take photos of my cats
She had an instant rapport with them all. She was especially good with my particularly anxious rescue cat Percy.
The photos that she took were really natural and not posed at all. All my friends have commented on the quality of the photos and the fact she had managed to capture their personalities.
I can not recommend her enough.

9 February 2020

Marieke struck up an immediate rapport with both me and my animals. She understood us all and captured their personalities in her work. I was very happy with the session itself and we felt at ease and enjoyed ourselves. I felt safe inviting her into my home and she made time to listen to my stories about my furry friends. The quality of her work is excellent and I would definitely recommend Marieke to others as a top notch photographer for their pets. More...

Marieke was so patient and made the photoshoot a lot of fun.

Q&As

I love meeting people and their pets and being able to work creatively together to produce beautiful photos that can be treasured.

I have always had a passion for photography particularly of nature and animals. When I retired from 30 years + of working in the NHS I was able to devote the time and energy into developing my passion as a business.

Because I have a genuine interest in the special relationships people have with their pets and being able to portray these through the photos I produce.

It is clearly not possible to do this with pet photography.

I work very safely and within the Government guidelines e.g. wearing a mask, keeping socially safe distancing. I always check out with customers if there is anything else they would like me to do to keep them safe.
