Maren Kolf - Fotografie die Dich berührt

An emotional shoot with depth, which is reflected in beautiful and touching pictures. Maren photographed me together with my horse and captured our close relationship in special pictures. A very talented, exceptional photographer!

Maren moves you! With every picture you take a step towards yourself. Professional, funny and above all authentically different.

You think you are unphotogenic? No problem - the result will still inspire you. Photos for job applications, or photos where you can see the mischief in your neck, and which are more suitable for private use.

If you want to be/remain unhappy, steer clear of Maren Kolf!

I needed new business photos and had Maren photograph me again. It was a special experience this time too. I don't like having my picture taken and I'm certainly a difficult customer. But Maren has an extraordinary ability to create a relaxed and trusting atmosphere. Her sensitive and humorous approach allowed me to relax completely and quickly forget about the camera.

Maren's style and her shoots are truly exceptional and difficult to describe. You simply have to experience Maren! If you want professional, authentic and unconventional photos, you definitely can't go past Maren. I recommend her with full conviction and thank her very much for this shooting experience and of course for the beautiful result!

I really liked the spontaneous and uncomplicated way of setting the scene.
Maren is professional and works quickly, almost without you realizing it, photos are created in a very pleasant atmosphere.
I'm not really vain enough to book a photo shoot, but I don't regret doing it. I am very happy with the result and would be happy to recommend Maren.

Maren Kolf's portrait photographs are simply magical. Her photos of me have given me a completely different view of myself. There is no better photographer for me! Quote from my daughter after she saw the photos of me: "Mom, these are the best photos of you I've ever seen"

Unfortunately, I'm not one of those people who consider themselves particularly photogenic. So it was clear to me that I needed a professional who would be able to capture me perfectly.
In Maren Kolf, I found a photographer who far exceeded my expectations in this respect.
As I don't stand in front of a camera all the time, I naturally asked myself:
How should I stand, sit, walk?
What kind of face should I make?
How wide is my "grin" really and doesn't it all look too artificial?

Fortunately, Maren didn't give me any time for these thoughts and immediately began to create a cheerful and trusting atmosphere with her lively manner.
My wish was to use nature as a natural backdrop and the pictures should be usable for private and professional purposes.
The photo session itself was already an experience, but the results topped everything.
The photos turned out absolutely professional and authentic. None of the photos look posed or contrived and I am very happy about that.
After this experience I can say: If you want really special pictures of yourself, you should go to Maren. With her, you can look forward to and enjoy pictures of yourself.

The whole package from the consultation to the super result and the quality of the pictures was just right. That's why I would have photos taken by Maren Kolf again at any time.

I had already met Maren briefly in person at a trade show. After a few months my need for new portrait photos for my website etc. arose. I browsed her website and was amazed by the photos there, also the whole web presence appealed to me. I then contacted her to clarify the possibilities for a collaboration. Maren and I live several kilometers apart, but it turned out that we could meet at the same time at the Baltic Sea coast. After a personal preliminary meeting there, Maren set out and found great locations and created the opportunity for photo shoots, I was very excited. The photo shoot was a lot of fun. I was a little tense at the beginning, but as time went on it got easier. Maren helps immensely, she creates a feel-good space. In the meantime, I have also received the selected pictures and I am very happy about it. Thank you again, dear Maren!

In June this year I had my first photo shoot with Maren..... it was extraordinary!
We had decided to do the homestory, which guaranteed a relaxed atmosphere for me. I felt very safe in Maren's presence from the first minute . She took away any insecurity I had with her so informal and cheerful manner. For me it became a completely successful work!
Especially impressive for me was that exactly 24 hours later I could already admire the photos, because Maren was able to process everything mobile with her fully equipped van and thus the selection could be made directly.
Half a day later I held a beautifully presented passe-partout album in my hand, wonderful. Pure adrenaline......
It was an exceptionally beautiful experience for me!

Dear Maren, you photographed my 16-year-old daughter so authentically and vividly - the result is simply outstanding. But let's start at the beginning - the initial contact by mail and phone was so sympathetic, I immediately felt familiar. You understood right away that this is not a classic teen with makeup who needs top model photos, but a beautiful young girl who doesn't see herself that way at all. We also brilliantly got a date for the shoot on her birthday at short notice, so I could surprise her.... - that was already great.
I didn't know how she would react to the surprise, but you managed to break the ice within seconds and after you matched the different outfits, you managed with your very empathetic way that she could be herself. She enjoyed it immensely and you can see that in every single photo. No matter if a little crazy with air jumps or more romantic playful - everything reflects her so realistically. You kept pointing out little details and explaining the locations during the shoot, so it was easy to make everything happen. The wait for the pictures was worth it - I had tears in my eyes because the pictures are just outstanding and the self-confidence of the young lady has shot up incredibly. So from us 1000 thanks for the great experience, the uncomplicated and understanding communication and the beautiful result - we will certainly come again and can only recommend Maren!!!!
Another small hint is allowed me - standard photos can many, but to recognize the soul of a person through the photo, is a gift and Maren has implemented this with us 1a!

A great photographer, unique, healing.
Maren has opened my eyes to my own beauty.
For this I am infinitely grateful.
The very next day I could choose the photos in your cool bus.

THANK YOU!!!

I was pleased that MK took the 2 hour drive to photograph me at my home. The 2 hours planned for this flew by, were always professional and cheerful. The result was tip-top. Exciting was for me in the images of Maren Kolf always discover new facets of me.

The shoot with Maren was fun-loving and uncomplicated. She made me forget the camera or managed that I no longer perceived this as a nuisance and thus created a relaxed, familiar atmosphere. Beautiful pictures were created, from which the joy radiates. I also find it fantastic that the pictures show me as I am, i.e. not artificially embellished. We had a lot of fun, laughed a lot and the result is just wonderful. Many thanks to Maren.

It was great fun for me, because Maren has a special empathy and thus inner tension gives way to lightness !!!!
A huge thank you

With my friend I have already admired great photos of your Homestory...
without knowing that these could once have meaning for me...
Through a changed life situation with me, the fascination was awakened to create a time testimony all alone for me.
After a first contact it was done and I completely let myself in for Maren's moderation.
This feeling of rediscovering and experiencing myself in a new way - combined with fun and all the subtleties excited me a lot!
With pride and admiration I look at MY homestory....

I booked a mini business photo shoot with Maren. From the beginning, Maren added a special magic to the photo shoot by capturing both the outer appearance and her own personality. Her special manner and attitude made me trust that despite my limited experience in business photography, I would get a successful result. This did not happen, because the result was not only successful, but magical. So, book Maren for your very special business photo!

Being photographed by Maren was a very special experience for me. From the first contact via phone, to the shooting itself, to the subsequent meeting including photo selection, there was a very familiar feeling between us, although we did not know each other. Maren asked my wishes and ideas, brought her ideas and experience and ultimately ensured that super beautiful photos were created, which I could not have imagined before. I was not talked into anything, but communicated openly and honestly. To let myself be photographed, has initially cost overcoming, but through this familiar and personal mood, it was ultimately not difficult. Many thanks to you, dear Maren, for this beautiful experience and especially the great result.

I felt picked up by Maren immediately.
Maren has responded to my wishes and has brought her years of experience profitably with. She lightened up the shooting with a lot of humor, so the photos were very authentic.
In fact, I have never had such beautiful application pictures as now.
Big thanks go to the dear Maren.
Love greetings

I found Maren while looking for a photographer for my homepage. I am very happy about this, because Maren has made the impossible true. She brought something out of me that I could not see myself and with that she made the best visible. She managed to do this through her good knowledge of human nature, her empathy, her incredible energy and loving persistence, her temperament, her wit and of course her professionalism and skill. The result of our shooting has so far delighted everyone who has seen the pictures. Simply great! I thank Maren very much for this great experience I was allowed to have together with her!

Maren Kolf is an exceptional athlete in her field. By means of her alert senses and her experience, she is able to put people into the picture and to show them to their best advantage in an optical-emotional way. This also includes the professional post-processing of the pictures. In her liveliness, it is also simply fun to 'work' with Maren Kolf.
