You deserve a photo of yourself that you love.

I know we scrutinise every perceived flaw in our photos. We are drawn to our own faces when we look at a photo and I know how hard we can be on ourselves.

I am always thankful when clients have fun during our shoots, and even more so when they exclaim, “Wow, is that me? I am beautiful.” I want that for you as well.

Do you want a photo of yourself that you love?

Let’s talk. Send me your details and during this complimentary consultation we will discuss your needs, style and vision.
Once we decide that we are a good fit to work together, we set a date and time for our shoot. There is a non-refundable booking fee of $150 paid to reserve your day and time.
This booking fee includes a wardrobe consultation, digital make-up guide, access to my studio wardrobe and photography session of up to 3 hours.
Not a model? Not a problem. I guide you through the process and will direct the poses. Be ready to have fun and laugh.

About Me

Hi,

I am Marlize, and I am a drama queen (the good kind, not the exhausting roll your eyes to heaven type.) I am also the owner of Portraits of Stories in Clarkson, Perth, Western Australia.

I want to give every woman at least one photo of herself that she loves.

Taking photos of everyday women, who decided to take a step towards loving themselves, is magical. There is something deeply spiritual about a woman embracing her beauty and herself.

Testimonials

A rare gem, talented and professional, is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Marlize.Marlize has done all the photography for my business. I am impressed with her ability to capture the true essence of what my brand stands for and, of course, her magic touch to make me look photogenic in a photo!! She would be a true asset for any person, professional or business requiring photography. I highly recommend her.

A review for my wonderful, caring, creative, fun photographer and now friend, for whom nothing is too much trouble and who ensures the client is always happy with the end result. I have been working with Marlize Venter since 2018, with her taking care of all my personal marketing photography when I was with a branded agency and then when I started my own agency 4.5 years ago to present day, and she is still my ‘go to’ for all my signage, advertising and promotions, so we have a long and wonderful relationship! I cannot recommend Marlize enough!!

Marlize has been my go to photographer for more than 6 years. I recently asked her to do my professional headshots when I was with a previous agency. If I had a choice of photographer I would not trust anyone else. She knows my needs, because she has taken the time to know me, and what I want. The corporate portraits that she has taken of me are the best I have ever had.

Thank you, Marlize, for the incredible experience in front of the lens of your camera. I am not comfortable in front of a camera, but spending the time with you made me feel at ease. Your unique approach to create each photo into a timeless story of the person you capture says a lot about your detail that you put into every session. Your creativity comes alive and behind every photo is a moment that’s captured to compliment the depth of the person you photograph. This is where the saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” ads meaning to the multiple ideas of a still image. The more I look at my personal photos, the more I appreciate the art of capturing my classic, casual and true sense of self. It has been an important growth for appreciating myself. I will highly recommend Marlize’s artistic ability in creating a story behind the camera whether it is family portraits, still images, corporate sessions, or personal branding.

Green-Shore Builders engaged Marlize to take our team & individual photos for our website. Marlize had the perfect location, backdrop, props & made the photo shoot fun & enjoyable for us all. The results were amazing & we couldn’t be happier! We highly recommend Marlize & will be referring her in the future.
