We had a great experience with Marie!! Our dog Joel had previously not shown interest in swimming, so we were thrilled when he suddenly frolicked in a nearby pond during our photo shoot. This was not part of the plan, but it produced some of the BEST pics. Turns out Joel loves the water as long as it's shallow…

Marie was willing to meet us anywhere so we chose a park out in North Bend with a view of Mt Si. We stumbled upon a herd of elk and my dogs were more than interested in these beasts but Marie was able to grab our pups' attention and capture some awesome candid photos!! The late afternoon lighting was perfect and…
We had a great experience with Marie!! Our dog Joel had previously not shown interest in swimming, so we were thrilled when he suddenly frolicked in a nearby pond during our photo shoot. This was not part of the plan, but it produced some of the BEST pics. Turns out Joel loves the water as long as it's shallow enough for him to stand in. We bought one large framed print for the wall (Marie had some cool technology to show us in advance what it would look like on the wall). We also bought 20 digital pics and a couple 8x10s. VERY HAPPY!!

Thank you, Mike! Seeing Joel get the zoomies in the little pond was such a blast and I'm glad he got to experience something new with me. It was a pleasure working with all of you!

I heard about Marie Wulfram photography through our dog trainer who had done a last minute photo session for her aging heart dog. The photos were beautiful so I started following her business on instagram. Every photo, every story, were so wonderful. We have three rescued American pit bull mixes, the oldest is about to turn 12. I wanted to make sure we got professional photos of our family before it was too late. Our dogs all have really different personalities and can be a lot to work with. Marie made sure we had all the information we needed ahead of time to have a successful session. When the day arrived, she brought an experienced trainer and a lot of patience. When the photos arrived, we were stunned at how wonderful they turned out. We opted to get a photo book to display our pictures. The final product is everything we could’ve hoped for and we’ll definitely be using Marie Wulfram again.

Oh, this made my morning!
Thank you so much for this beautiful review and for trusting me to capture the heart and soul of your family. All 3 were a delight and had such unique personalities, it was an absolute pleasure working with you all and look forward to seeing you again in the future.
With so much gratitude,
Marie

Marie is SUCH a delight and an incredible photographer to work with. My dog is reactive and can be very reserved in new settings, so I was worried about how our session would go. Marie's communication was unmatched- she was there every step of the way to reassure us that we would lean in heavily to my dog's cues and go at her pace the entire time. Our session ended up going amazingly well!!! Genuinely cannot recommend Marie enough!

Marie was willing to meet us anywhere so we chose a park out in North Bend with a view of Mt Si. We stumbled upon a herd of elk and my dogs were more than interested in these beasts but Marie was able to grab our pups' attention and capture some awesome candid photos!! The late afternoon lighting was perfect and Marie used that to create some striking poses. Marie was patient, understanding, gave clear instructions and suggestions and made the whole experience super fun! The photo album we chose is a beautiful celebration of the place in our lives and hearts that our pups occupy!! Thanks Marie for capturing a moment in time---one we will cherish well into the future!

I booked a photo session with Marie back in October 2024. She is nothing short of amazing. So professional and easy to work with from day 1. Lucy is the star of the show and a natural in front of the camera. Her mother however, not so much. Marie made me feel comfortable and at home and was able to get some amazing photos of Lucy and even ones that included her less photogenic mother (me). She then came to my house after and we went through every single photo to choose what I wanted. I bought a ton from her and the money was 100% worth it. Would do again and recommend her wholeheartedly.

Marie is absolutely spectacular and her work is beautiful!! We really wanted to book a photo session with our boys because we hadn’t had any family photos. Our oldest Dane Jefe also turns 7 this Halloween so we wanted professional photos of him. We enjoyed that Marie and her assistant were so patient with us and our boys. She even had a duck whistle for attention! We were super worried that the boys would not behave or listen to direct for the photos. Again Marie was patient and used different techniques to capture our photos. We have already told family and friends about Marie in hopes that they’ll book too! We love that she made it personal and came to our home to show us our photos. She even hand delivered our order once we got it in. The imagined turned out perfect! We are so excited to have them up in our home. It also made it easier for us that she allowed us to pick the park for the shoot! We truly loved working with her and hope to work with her again in the future!
