Having helped 200+ people feel seen and celebrated, she is passionate about using portrait photography to shift how people view themselves. Her sessions are intentionally inclusive — welcoming all genders, sizes and identities — and designed to be gentle, uplifting and empowering rather than staged or artificial. What makes the approach special Marieke’s portraits prioritise presence over perfection. Rather than forcing stiff poses, she guides clients with clear, compassionate direction so their natural expressions and posture shine through. The studio itself — a warm, elegant space in Brook Street Business Hub — provides soft, flattering light from tall windows and a relaxed environment where you can breathe, move and connect with the camera. How the process works From your first message to the moment you receive your images, the portrait experience is thoughtfully curated. You’ll begin with a friendly consultation so Marieke can understand your goals — whether you want a professional headshot, an updated business portrait or personal studio artwork. Clients receive a preparation guide, wardrobe and styling suggestions, and access to the client closet if you need options. During the session Marieke offers pose coaching and calming breathwork to help you settle in. Final images are hand‑retouched and presented in a video call reveal so you can enjoy the moment together. The story and the promise Marieke’s own journey through recovery from disordered eating informs her belief that photographs should uplift, not diminish. She uses portrait photography as a tool for self‑acceptance — helping clients meet their bodies and selves with compassion. If you’re looking for a Glasgow portrait studio where expert technique meets wholehearted care, Marieke Captures specialises in creating professional, authentic portraits that leave you feeling confident and ready to share your best self with the world.
