Hi! I am Maryia!

I am a family photographer, documenting my family life and telling my client's stories.

I love to photograph naughty kids and parents who let it go.

I photograph the wild and the calm of your parenthood:



  • A Hug. A Touch. A Kiss.
  • And the FULL ON TORNADO: messy faces, couch jumps, splashes in the bath or paddles and brushing those tiny teeth...

I have three boys and nothing scares me! :D

I do not think that family photos should be about posing at the sunset in a perfectly matching outfits, when kids are bribed, but unhappy and parents are stressed.

I have a feeling that family photography went the wrong direction and I would like to bring it on track of the meaningful, emotional and sentimental storytelling.

It is not about looks, poses, outfits etc.

It is about the most important time in your life - the time spent with people you love.


MORE ABOUT ME
You do not have to do anything extraordinary for your family photo session - just have some fun with people you love most.

what my clients say

Picture

"I had quite high expectations for this session but when Maryia sent over the pictures, it left me and my husband speechless (and teary). She has managed to capture our family exactly how I’d imagined, but wouldn’t dare to hope for and I would proudly present every single image for the whole world to see if it came to that!"


- Keiu

"My biggest fear was that Nina my 4 year old daughter will be shy around Maryia and as a result will either not be in any pictures or with a very grumpy face. I didn't need to worry at all. Maryia is fantastic with kids so Nina loved her straight away. We all did!"

- Iva

"Maryia has a unique talent to see the personality of her subjects after a few minutes in their company and so captured our family to perfection.

Being a parent is hard enough. Let’s keep it simple!
We go for a walk, stay at home or both, doing your favourite family time together: messy hair, painted fingers, smoochy kisses… all the things you will be missing so much, so soon.

And of course I will capture YOU in the middle of all this precious mess, because this is how you will be remembered and this is what really matters.

HOW IT WORKS

Picture
01. WE CHAT
We start with a casual friendly chat to make sure, that I am your cup of tea and you can live with my English.

I want to know EVERYTHING! How you have met, what is your kid's favourite pokemon, what music turns you on etc.!

If I will be you family photographer, we should get to know each other and LIKE each other!

Picture
02. YOU BOOK
After our chat you can decide and book your session!

No need to sell your kidney yet
– a booking fee of 255 CHF and a signed contract is all I need to reserve your date and start planning your session.
Picture
03. WE GET READY
I send you a fun and easy guide how to prepare: some stylish wisdom how to choose your outfits and how to let you teen to look like Marilyn Manson. The same tips apply perfectly to toddlers, but they will probably want to look like Elsa.

Plus some tips how to organize  activities your family is into right now.



Picture
04. WE SHOOT
On the day of the session we have fun and you and your kids can just be who you really are. And do not worry - this is my job to bring your real beautiful self to shine.

We will create stunning, meaningful and real photos, capturing YOUR family story, not a random pinterest "family photos to take this fall".

I can guarantee, you will forget that I am taking photos and your kids will not want me to go away after.
Picture
05. YOU GET YOUR PHOTOS
Three to four weeks after our session I will send you an emotional  slideshow with all your beautful photos set to music and maybe a film!

You will probably cry a little bit (or a lot!) and decide what collection you would like to have. The collections start at 600 CHF.

You take home a lovely selection of your favourite images and stunning printed products, which will become your most favourite things.

Picture
06. WE STAY IN TOUCH
You will become a part of my photo family and will have an access to special nice offers for my clients only.

...and we will do it again!

We PRINT

If you enjoy looking at your family photos on a tiny screen of your phone - we are not on the same page.

Me and my clients - we print!

You should see your most favourite photos EVERY DAY - on your walls, in an album or at last - just in a box.

Printed photos are accessible for everyone, not only for you -  and are much harder to loose, than files.


I am a printing nerd

"We keep watching and rewatching the album. We love it so much!!!"
