how my clients felt — after the experience,
“photographing with mariya is much more than just taking pictures, it’s like therapy. through her vision and sensitivity, she connects us with our pure essence and vulnerability. she plants and nurtures the seed of self love in each person she works with. ”

“a sessão foi mágica a tantos níveis! a Mariya criou um ambiente descontraído e seguro, com espaço para expressarmos possíveis desconfortos ou limites pessoais a cada passo do processo. por ser uma pessoa maravilhosa, acredito que atrai pessoas que também o são. todas as mulheres do grupo contribuíram para que se sentisse um espírito de sororidade ,empoderamento e aceitação. sinto que todas nos divertimos muito e que sentimos-nos em conexão com o projecto. sinto-me previlegiada por ter tido a oportunidade de ser parte da arte da Mariya, que é tão bonita e necessária. ”

Mariya created a relaxed and safe environment, where we felt free to express any discomfort or personal boundaries at every step of the process. being such a wonderful person, i believe she naturally attracts others who are the same. all the women in the group contributed to a feeling of sisterhood, empowerment, and acceptance. i feel like we all truly enjoyed ourselves and felt connected to the project. i feel privileged to have had the opportunity to be part of Mariya’s art which is something so beautiful and necessary.”

your questions, answered
how far in advance should i book a session?
i recommend to reserve your space around four weeks in advance as the summer months tend to fill up quickly.
feel free to reach out with your preferred date and i’ll always do my best to accommodate you.
i don’t have any experience in front of the camera. does that matter?
not at all. no experience is needed to be seen by me.
i’ve worked with many people through their first photographic session, and i’ll guide, direct, and support you throughout the entire process. you won’t be left wondering what to do. i’ll be there every step of the way.
this experience is designed for you to relax, enjoy the moment, and feel as if you’ve stepped into your own film.
what happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate for an outdoor shoot?
i keep a close eye on the forecast, and if conditions don’t feel right, i’ll always offer thoughtful suggestions. whether that means rescheduling at no extra cost or moving to an indoor space that aligns with your vision.
