Hi there!
My name is Maryia Ramanava. I am a professional photographer, photography teacher and founder of Capture and Connect online photoschool.
I am capturing my life and my awesome crew since 2007 in fun emotional and storytelling photographs. And any of my family members can enjoy those photos whenever they like, becasue I stubbornly create family albums with all my favourite images year after year! I taught over a hundred parents a fun and enjoyable way of capturing their life and the people they love, without being stressed, worried and frustrated. And I helped them to create stunning tangible family albums that they proudly call their "most valuable possession"! |
WHAT IF...
you knew how to photograph
THE MOMENTS that will fill your heart with warmth and joy 5, 10, or 20 years from now?
you could dive out of the endless chaos of digital photos
flooding your phone, computer and cloud and have a well-organized, safe and all-backed-up family archive and be sure, that they won't all be gone, just becasue of a stupid accident? (...a cup of coffee all over your laptop, anyone?)
someone would JUST TELL YOU what photos to include and how to put them together
So you get rid of the annoying hough "I should make a family album" thought and can stop blaming yourself for not making...
his-first-year-of-life album
his-first-year-at-school album
an album for his 10th birthday, 13th, 15th, 16th
etc.
you could go from NOTHING to ODERED in one weekend?
With my help, creating your family album will be a drag-and-drop game. You can easily create a gorgeous album and order it in a weekend (or two).
IS IT EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED?
THEN I HAVE GREAT NEWS FOR YOU!
THEN I HAVE GREAT NEWS FOR YOU!
you are invited to join my
ALBUM IN A WEEKEND CLUB
finally holding YOUR family album full of emotional storytelling images instead of telling yourself "I will do it next year..."
|
I created the Album In A Weekend Club for parents with artistic and sentimental hearts, who don't want to forget all the mess that is going on right now and want to give their future selves and their children a tangible gift for life - a family album...
...BUT keep postponing it year after year, being overwhelmed by the size of the project, the unsorted ocean of digital photos on their phones and hard drives, not knowing where to start and how and simply NOT FINDING TIME to finally do it! |
|
"OMG, Maryia!!! We got our album today in the post! We watched through it at least 20 times and we all cried! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!" - Anna
Did you know that children experience increased self-esteem and stronger sense of identity from looking at family photos regularly? - YOU DO NOW :)
Here's how it works
01 WE Start Making Your Album
|
Yes, the first thing we do, when you join the CLUB is make an album. When you are holding your album in your hands you feel much more motivated to take photos and create one more next year.
|
02 YOU Send me Photos
|
We decide what kind of album you would like to make:
Then you send me the photos via WeTransfer. |
03 I chose the best photos
|
With 20+ years of selecting images for exhibitions, galleries and photo books... I know exactly what photos will tell the best story.
I will pre-select photos for you, so putting them in the album will become a drag-and-drop game. It'll take me from two days to two weeks, depending on how many people we have in the CLUB. |
04 I guide. You make.
|
After you get the pre-selected images nicely organized - we make a book!
I give you a simple guide on how to put images together and you can drag and drop them into your book. You can use any software you like. But if you need some advice - I'll be happy to recommend some great price-quality options. |
Let me tell you about EVA!
She joined the club on Tuesday and sent me the photos on the same day. On Friday evening I returned her the selection of images for her album and a template on "how to put photos together".
She spent Saturday and Sunday evenings dragging and dropping photos to her Blurb book. (And yes she added some of her own photos, I of course don't know if some photos have a special meaning for you). And ordered her book on Sunday evening!
It was the first family album she ever made and her daughter was turning 10... And YES the album came in time for her birthday!
Can you make it quicker than EVA's? :D

BONUS #1 - Hihlights SLIDESHOW
No matter how well we select photos for your album this is still impossible to include all you love... which was always breaking my heart a little bit! That is why I decided to add a slideshow.
You will get all your best photos set up to music, ready to download and be shared with relatives and friends. You will get one when I selected your best images for the album and you will continue getting one every season as long as you are in the CLUB. Worth 800 EUR |

BONUS #2 - ACCESS TO MY PHOTOGRAPHY TRAINING ON LIGHT & COMPOSITION
I won't sleep if you will not start taking GREAT photos by the end of the year! :D You will not get regular tasks, as you do in my photo school, but if you will get curious about how things work in photography (and you will) - those resources will be very helpful!
They will let you get more confident to take pictures in any light, any place and in any situation. ...as our life does not happen in a perfectly lit tidy spot, right? Worth 1000+ EUR |
|
TOTAL VALUE OVER 1800 EUR
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I was a little bit sceptical when joining last year becasue I am busy and thought I will not find time for this... However, making a yearbook with Maryia was really easy and fun! I made a few family albums before, but was always rushing and putting myself under pressure. Maryia has a much better way! I printed three copies of my yearbook and my family was overjoyed to recieving them for Christmas!!!" - Olga

DO YOU STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
Can I decide which photos go into the album?
YES! I pre-select images for you... but you are the one who makes the final call and puts photos in the book.
And what if I do not like the photos that you have chosen?
NOT POSSIBLE! Ok... it is possible. So go up and look at the photos you see on this page. Do you like them? If so - you'll love the photos I'll select for you too!
Can you make the whole album for me?
Yes I can make the album for you for additional 200 EUR. The album will be 72 pages, square format and you will have to print it by yourself. I'll ask you what images are important for you to include BEFORE I start making your album. No revisions are possible. Printing costs of the album are not included. You will get a digital version of your album as pdf and a collection or JPG files and you will have to order a printed version by yourself.
And what if I want to make an album from a different year, not the current one?
You can chose any year!
And what if I want to include photos from different years in one album?
Sure! Let's do it! How about a 1960 - 2023 album for your mom? I'm not joking!
