“With great care, Merle captured the playful energy and the proud, gentle expression of my young Vizsla, beautifully revealing his unique character.”
- Melloney
“Merle’s calmness, attention, and eye for detail truly make a difference. The photos with my horse are perfect, every single one of them. Merle knows exactly how to bring out the best in both people and animals. I’m incredibly pleased with the results.”
- Loes
“So incredibly happy with the photos Merle took of Juna and Nora. With so much passion, enthusiasm, and patience, she managed to capture my girls beautifully. Getting two Ridgebacks in one photo is a challenge in itself—especially when one of them is a teenager with bananas in her ears. The result is stunning and even more beautiful than I had expected. We will definitely be coming back again in the future!.”
- Demi
“I wanted some photos of our young Lola while she’s still in her playful teenage phase. It was quite a challenge, as Lola is full of energy and definitely wasn’t planning on sitting still! Merle was incredibly patient and, being an animal lover herself, she managed to capture the few precious moments Lola gave us during the golden hour. We’re very happy with the result and can highly recommend Merle!”
- Laura
“Merle’s photos are very authentic and expressive. We’re always delighted when our daily work and moments from the world of horse racing are captured like this.”
- Asterblüte racing stable
“Merle captured our dogs beautifully. She’s a super fun and spontaneous photographer — just like her photos!”
- Ruth
“I hadn't planned on being in front of the camera, but my dog, Dobby, never leaves my side. Merle made us both feel very comfortable in front of the lens, and I'm happy that I now have some wonderful images of me and my soul dog.”
- Lester
Nice to meet you, I'm Merle.
From the personality of dogs to the majesty of horses, I love creating images that tell their story and capture the passion, connection, and emotion you share with your animal(s).
I specialize in animal photography across the Netherlands, the NRW region in Germany, and the Belgian border area with the Netherlands. Sessions and projects in other regions can always be arranged by request.
