I don’t think you need another “brand shoot.”
I know that when you’re running a business on your own,
and you have to do everything…
it just feels like too much.
Like something you don’t want to deal with right now.
At the same time, you probably see it.
That your business doesn’t quite look the way it could.
That the impression isn’t where you want it to be.
And even if you know that better visuals would help — you still keep postponing it.
I get it.
I feel the same about brand shoots myself.
That’s why I created something different.
and you have to do everything…
- planning a photo session,
- finding a photographer,
- investing time, energy, money…
it just feels like too much.

How it works
We meet in a small group (max. 4 people) and spend about 2 hours together in a beautiful location. We walk, talk, laugh - and in between, I photograph you. No long posing. No pressure. No “stand here and smile.” Just quick, natural moments - while the group energy makes everything feel easy. Everyone gets their own portraits - you’re just not doing it alone. You’re photographed while you’re relaxed and in the flow: • portraits you can use anywhere • in-action moments (talking, laughing, explaining) • subtle “with others” shots that add warmth and authority So instead of one intense photoshoot, you have a relaxed, enjoyable experience - and leave with images you’ll use again and again. |

For your website, social media, sales pages, and everyday visibility - without second-guessing what to post.

We talk and create as we go - so you don’t just get photos,
you leave knowing where they fit and how to use them.
✦ Real connections
You meet other business owners, exchange ideas, and often leave with new collaborations or referrals.
✦ Guidance you can rely on
So you know what to do with your hands, your posture, your presence - not just for this session, but anytime you’re in front of a camera.

There was no pressure to perform - just space to be real. And you can see it in the photos. They actually reflect the energy I bring to my work. - Anna, Psychologist @monnierlianna |

"Nothing like being stuck in a studio, trying to pose perfectly." I felt completely relaxed the whole time.
Being outdoors made such a difference - no awkward posing, just natural moments. And the photos feel like me - not something staged. - Anita, Trauma-Informed Coach @anita.brenneke |

Hey - I’m Maryia.
Brand photographer, working with people who care about how their work is seen. I believe in simple, human marketing -- showing up as yourself, without overcomplicating. And I’ve seen again and again how the right photos change the way people perceive your work - and how you show up in it. That’s exactly why I created the Brand Portrait Collective. |
FAQ
What should I wear?
Something you already feel good in.
Think simple, comfortable, and aligned with your brand — not “perfect.”
1–2 outfits are more than enough.
If you want a second opinion, you can always send me options.
I’ve never done a brand shoot before - is that a problem?
Not at all.
Most of my clients haven’t - or didn’t enjoy their last one.
I guide you the whole time, so it feels natural and easy.
Should I bring anything with me?
Only if it feels relevant.
A few personal items can add personality - but you don’t need much.
If you’re unsure, I’m happy to advise.
What if the weather is bad?
If it’s heavy rain or a storm, we reschedule - no extra cost.
Otherwise, we adapt. Some of the best photos happen in unexpected conditions.
What if I can’t make it?
Just let me know as soon as possible - we’ll move you to another date.
No stress.
When will I receive my photos?
Within 2–3 weeks.
If you need something earlier, I can prioritize a few images.
Can I use the photos for my business?
Yes - that’s exactly what they’re for.
Website, social media, sales pages, ads - you can use them freely for your brand.
