I CAN HELP YOU TO FINALLY CONNECT WITH YOUR IDEAL CLIENTS AND START GROWING YOUR BUSINESS

Creating YOUR PERSONAL BRAND will bring your business lots of benefits, but there is one that tops all the others:
MORE GREAT CLIENTS
How? Stay with me and I will show you!
Have you ever gone to bed thinking: “How will I get the next client?”, „Will this business ever bring profit?“, „Should I just find a „real“ job?“... 

I HAVE!!! So many times actually!

And then I would start looking for some solutions... what could help? a better website? a new logo? a huge discount? working for free for someone, hoping they will help me to get visibility????


It is a shame, but I tried it all...
Hi! I am Maryia Ramanava!

I am a professional personal brand photographer and brand photography specialist.

I believe in authentic marketing, which let you show up and connect with your audience YOUR WAY.

I am convinced, that photography boosts your confidence and let you grow.

I work exclusively with female creative entrepreneurs, because I have three sons and one husband at home. That is why, when I go out of the house, I want to spend time with increadible adult women.

I work with brave and unstoppable business owners in Geneva, Vaud, Switzerland and beyond.
I started my photography business living in a foreign country with two little kids and a PhD to finish. The academic career was not fitting in my life anymore and I wanted to start my own creative business.

Not knowing much about running a photography business I started with usual strategies…. Model calls, free sessions, giveaways, crazy discounts…. I did not know at that moment that those were all dead ends.

I had over 100 photo sessions during the first year. Everyone wanted to work with me!

But at the end of this so to say crazy successful year...I was overworked (I was working over 60 hours per week), I did not enjoy photography anymore and I had many difficult clients.

I could feel - burn out is coming… And the best part - I hardly managed to cover my business expenses! At the end of my first business year I had a nervous break down.

At the begin of my second year decided do not offer free and discounted sessions so often and to work on my pricing…

My plan was to photograph the families from the last year.

I was telling to myself: "OK you did not earn money, but at least you built a client base, so you do not have to concentrate on marketing so much!"

You know what happened, right?

I raised my prices a little bit and started contacting the people from the previous year. Two families out of 100+ families booked me again…

I was shocked and brokenhearted. I knew that this is not going to work as I have imagined….

I was asking myself again and again:

"Where did I take this very wrong turn?"

And at some point I realized, that my main mistake was that I tried to get ANY clients.

From that moment on I concentrated on finding MY CLIENTS.

How DO I do it?

By telling

MY BRAND STORY...

... and of many other amazing women too!

Sounds great... But What IS MY BRAND STORY?

 YOUR BRAND STORY IS



WHY you do what you do

WHO do you do it for

HOW you do it

and that there is no one else who could do it...

BUT YOU

it makes your ideal clients fall in love with you

OK... But do we really need photography? Cannot we just write it down?


Of course you can and you absolutely should!

You should be telling your brand story in many different ways. But photos just are the most effective and the quickest way!

Let's see...

In order to read your story, people should start reading.

In order to watch your story, people should start watching.

In order to hear your story, people should start listening.

In order to see your story… they just SEE IT!


Photos reach your audience with the speed of light.
OK... So we just need a couple of nice photos, right?

WRONG! A couple of nice photos do not tell any story!

Standard headshots and standard brand photos are very generic.

Basically there are two types of photographs, that you see everywhere. Here they are:

  • People are standing in front of a plain background. (known as a headshot)

  • People are sitting in front of a laptop with a cup of coffee… (known as a brand photo)


That’s it!

Can you see a unique story, do you feel any emotions, can you connect?

You might have the same laptop brand though… :D

And are you even sure you need nice photos? Maybe you need some badass photos instead?!

OK... So we just post many selfies and personal photos, right?

WRONG again!

Selfies are just as generic as laptops and coffee cups!

We are bombarded by selfies and snapshot… and if these are not photos of a close friend or family member – we do not really care about them. We will never remember or recognize them.


Our brain is simply protecting us from an informational overload.

To tell your Brand Story you need photos that

will impress your audience,

will make them curious,

will make them want to connect with you
and find out more.
The STORYTELLING BRAND PHOTOS will make your business stand out.

People will remember you and recognize you again and again.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT PHOTOS
WILL MAKE YOUR WEBSITE REALLY ATTACTIVE
FOR YOUR IDEAL CLIENTS?
WHO DO I WORK WITH?
I work with amazing and rocking women, who follow their passion - like Johdi Woodford, Christina Oman, Gabi Tysarzik, Maria Rakotonarivo, Emily Hoon and many others.
"I really loved our session! I wish that others can experience working with you! Such a joy!!"

  • Planning consultation, where we discuss your struggles, goals and dreams, so that the photos we will create will be strategic branding and marketing tools, rather than just pretty images
