Famke Louise was born in Almere in the Netherlands. In February 2016, Meijer started her own YouTube channel under her nickname Famke Louise. After she became known, she began using Famke Louise as her stage name. At first Meijer made prank videos with several friends; several of her videos were criticized for being fake. Because of this criticism Meijer decided to delete all her previous videos. She then began making videos about beauty, fashion and started vlogging. In 2017 she appeared in the Dutch television series Models in Paris: Het Echte Leven, where she was guided into the life of modelling; after the series ended, Meijer took part in photo-shoots with various Dutch magazines.
