Hi, I'm Ali 👋, a photographer based in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, England, available for photography services across the surrounding areas.
My name is Ali Marley. Although I'm naturally shy, I'm also a giddy, enthusiastic storyteller with a passion for professional pet and wildlife photography.
I'm on a mission to help pet owners create the photographs they've always dreamed of having of their beloved companions. I love capturing the little quirks, expressions and unique personality traits that make your pet who they are, creating precious images and memories you'll be able to look back on for years to come.
I offer fun, relaxed outdoor photoshoots for pets and their humans, focusing on capturing your dog or pet simply being themselves.
I understand that your dog isn't just a pet they're family. That's why I want you to feel completely comfortable and at ease during your session. I'm fully insured and certified in canine first aid, so your furry friend's safety and wellbeing are always my top priority.
You can focus on enjoying the experience while I capture the tail-wagging moments, expressions and little details that make your dog so special.
"They won't behave or look at the camera."
"My dog gets distracted easily, is too old, too young or nervous."
Does any of this sound familiar?
Don't worry. With my relaxed outdoor dog photography sessions, your dog doesn't need to be perfectly trained or sit still on command. I specialise in photographing dogs being dogs, capturing all the unique characteristics and quirks that make them special to you.
Every dog is different, which is why I work at your dog's pace rather than my own. Sessions are tailored specifically to your dog's personality, needs and comfort level, whether they're energetic and playful, nervous and cautious, young and excitable or simply enjoying their golden years.
My goal is to celebrate your dog and everything that wonderful furry face means to you, creating photographs that reflect their personality in the exceptional way they deserve.
Life can quickly get busy, and time has a habit of slipping away. My photographs are about preserving those precious moments you share with your dog, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Your pet always comes first. My priorities are:
I work to your dog's timescale, not my own, ensuring that every session is as relaxed and enjoyable as possible.
Every client is a priority to me, and I would love to hear from you. Let's chat about your dog, what makes them special and the kind of photographs you'd love to create together.
Whether you're looking for beautiful portraits of your pet, fun action photographs or meaningful images of the two of you together, I'll work with you to create photographs that you'll treasure for years to come.
I'm thrilled to have received a Silver Award in the 2024 International Pet Photography Awards. This prestigious competition celebrates exceptional and innovative pet photography from around the world, and receiving recognition in such a highly competitive field was a hugely proud moment for me.
The award was a wonderful recognition of my artistic vision and technical skills, while also reinforcing my passion for capturing the unique personalities and heartwarming moments of our beloved animal companions.
