Brand POrtrait Collective
Your business has evolved.
Your online presence hasn't.
People decide whether to trust your business before they read a single word. If your brand visuals no longer reflect your business,
you're giving them a reason to hesitate.
A relaxed small-group experience to create visuals that finally match
the level your business has reached.
Geneva · July 19 · Max. 4 people · €450


You probably don't wake up thinking,
"I really need another brand shoot."
Neither do I.
Not because we're so attached to that headshot from 2019.
But because somewhere between clients, launches, emails and everything else...
updating your online presence keeps falling to the bottom of the list.
Again.
But every month you postpone updating your visuals, your business pays the price.
Not because your work isn't good enough.
Because your online presence doesn't communicate the quality of your work.
People form an impression before they read your website.
Before they read a post.
Before they even know what you do.
If your brand visuals no longer reflect the business you've built, you're making your business harder to choose.

How It Works
Getting new photos isn't the goal.
The goal is to create brand photos and videos that finally match the business you're building.
Photos that capture who you are, the energy you bring into your work and why people choose you.
We meet in a small group (maximum four people) and spend around two relaxed hours together in a beautiful location.
We walk, laugh and drink coffee.
We talk about business, life and everything.
And in between, I photograph and film you.
Although we meet as a group, everyone leaves with their own brand portraits and video content.
You're simply not doing it alone.
No long posing.
No pressure.
No awkward "stand here and smile."
Just real moments, captured while you're relaxed, present, and genuinely enjoying yourself.
The group dynamic changes everything.
You relax.
Your personality comes through.
And that's when the best photos happen.
During the session, I create:
• brand portraits for your website and social media
• natural, in-motion photographs
• short video clips for stories, reels, sales pages and websites
• visual content people remember
So instead of updating your photos, you change the way people experience your business before they ever meet you.

You leave with
✦ A visibility library you'll use for months
A complete library of visual content for your website, social media, newsletters and launches - ready to use again and again.
Including:
• 20 professionally edited brand photos of your choice
• Around 10 short video clips for stories, reels and your website
• A 24-hour preview with a few extra group photos and videos, so you can start building anticipation before your full gallery arrives.
✦ A visibility experience that changes how you feel about being seen
These sessions attract thoughtful, generous business owners.
Most people arrive slightly nervous.
They leave wondering why they postponed it for so long.
Because once visibility feels relaxed instead of performative, showing up becomes much easier.
✦ New conversations and unexpected connections
Recommend each other.
Start collaborating.
Sometimes even become friends.
I never know exactly who will meet whom.
But every session ends with people saying:
"We should stay in touch."
That has become one of my favourite parts of the experience.
You'll never wonder where to stand, what to do with your hands or whether you're "doing it right."
People think they're booking a photo session.
✦ Guidance throughout the session
I guide you naturally throughout the session, so nothing feels forced or overcomplicated.
✦ Confidence that carries into your marketing
They're not.
What they're really doing is removing one of the biggest reasons they keep postponing visibility.
Because once you finally have photos and videos that feel like you...
you stop avoiding your website,
your LinkedIn profile,
or the next Instagram post.
And you finally want people to see your business.


When and Where?
Brand Portrait Collective takes place once a month in carefully chosen locations around Geneva and nearby France.
Each session has its own atmosphere.
Some feel fresh and natural.
Others are elegant, urban or creative.
The location changes.
The experience doesn't.
Every session is intentionally small (maximum four people), so it stays relaxed, personal and never rushed.

"I felt free to be myself."
Working with Maryia felt light, relaxed and enjoyable.
There was no pressure to perform - just space to show up naturally.
And you can feel it in the photos.
They genuinely reflect the energy I bring to my work.

This is for you if…
- Your business has moved on, but your visuals haven't.
- You keep putting off updating your online presence because it always feels like a bigger project than it should.
- You want people to experience your business before they ever meet you.
- You want visibility to feel natural instead of performative.
- You'd rather enjoy being photographed than survive another photoshoot.



"Being outdoors made such a difference."
I felt completely relaxed the whole time.
No awkward posing, just natural moments.

Hey - I’m Maryia.
I think most people avoid visibility because they haven't experienced being seen in a way that feels safe.
That's why I created Brand Portrait Collective — we ease into visibility in a safe, fun and empowering way.
You're being seen by me and by the other participants — and enjoying it.
The photos and videos bring that exact same energy into your marketing.
And I've seen again and again how the right photos don't just change how people perceive your work — they change how you start showing up inside your business too.
FAQ
- What should I wear?Something you already feel good in.
Simple, comfortable and aligned with your brand usually works better than trying to look “perfect.”
1–2 outfits are more than enough.
And if you want a second opinion, you’re always welcome to send me options beforehand. - 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 experience.
I guide you throughout the session so everything feels natural and easy. - Should I bring anything with me?Only if it feels relevant.
A few personal items can add personality and context —
but you really don’t need much.
If you’re unsure, I’m happy to advise. - What if the weather is bad?If there’s heavy rain or a storm, we simply reschedule at no extra cost.
Otherwise, we adapt.
Some of my favourite photographs happened in weather nobody wanted. - What if I can’t make it?Just let me know as early as you can.
We'll move you to another session.
No stress. - When will I receive my photos and videos?You’ll receive your full gallery within 2–3 weeks.
As a little bonus, you'll receive a few group photos and behind-the-scenes videos within 24 hours.
They're not part of your personal gallery - just a fun way to relive the morning and give your audience a little glimpse of what's coming. - Can I use the photos and videos for my business?Yes — that’s exactly what they’re for.
You can freely use them across your website, social media, sales pages and marketing.



"This felt like so much more than just a photoshoot."
I felt beautiful and confident when I saw the photos - they truly captured me in a way that felt natural and real.
The whole experience felt easy and relaxed,
even though I was nervous at first.
And the group dynamic made everything feel incredibly natural - I loved meeting other inspiring business owners too.
