Maryia Ramanava Photography

I absolutely LOVE the photos Maryia created for us. Her photos are bright, light and candid and perfectly captures our family. Maryia was super easy to work with and very responsive from day 1. She made the day of the session easy for everyone, and created photos that feel like us!I chose Maryia because I love her casual and candid style. I wanted photos, which show who we really are: in our own home and not dressed up in anything fancy or baby wrapped up in a way we never do.And indeed the session was so relaxed. My toddler did manage to get in a few shots and the baby was super easy, especially with Maryia's casual style.Babies grow too quickly and I am so happy that we did it.She has the most beautiful style and will create photos that really captures your family. We will cherish these photos for many years!

“I have chosen Maryia because I was impressed by her portfolio and her ability to capture candid moments that highlight the bond among the family members. This was exactly what I wanted for my family!I was a little bit worried to hire a photographer, because my 3.5 and 2 year old daughters are generally shy among strangers. But it turned out that Maryia is extremely natural with children. She is a mother of three and it shows! The kids were truly themselves during the session. I think they barely noticed the camera at all (which is a great thing!). My husband and I were also relaxed and at ease.All of us had a great time and we loved the photos when we got them!I will recommend Maryia to anyone who wants candid family photos. Maryia does not simply take photos of members of the family, but she takes photos of the relationship that we have, the kind of little moments that make you you look back and smile. Thank you!!

When I first stumbled upon Maryia and her ideas about family photography, I immediately felt she got what it’s all about, which is anything and everything but posing for pictures.Also, she is super passionate about what she does, and that comes through already before booking a session with her, just by reading her blog or looking at her homepage.I had some worries before working with Maryia. A photo shoot is a real investment and for most people, it is expensive. Naturally there was a little doubt whether the resulting photos will make the money worth it but that fear was gone as soon as we met up with her.Maryia has this incredible skill of being there and present and friendly and chatty, and still make the session all about the “target group”. I tend to think most people feel at least somewhat uncomfortable with a camera directed at them. For me, personally, it can be extremely bad. However, with her, we were all completely at ease and never felt that someone was trespassing our private space. It was definitely the smoothest and easiest shoot that I’ve been part of.In the end, we were just spending quality time with our kids in the park and all of us had lots of fun.It was also a great experience for our kids! Our toddler is in the shy phase and tends to turn very serious even when we ourselves try to take photos of her. It didn’t take long for her to forget about the looming camera lens, and focus on the important stuff instead, like playing in the fountain or splashing in the creek or just having tons of fun with us.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 :)Is it worth to hire Maryia as your family photographer?Yes! Yes! Yes! You will never regret a photo session with Maryia, and the resulting pictures will rock!

We have chosen Maryia because of the quality of her work. Since I was following her facebook page for a while I could see that it's exactly the kind of an outdoor family photo shoot we wanted. Moreover
