NEWBORN

The first days and weeks of your newborn’s life are truly special, and they pass by faster than most parents expect. Tiny hands, delicate features, and those first precious moments together soon become treasured memories. A newborn photoshoot allows you to preserve this beautiful stage forever.

I recommend scheduling the session when your baby is between 4 and 14 days old. During this time, newborns tend to sleep more deeply and are generally more relaxed, which creates ideal conditions for natural and peaceful photographs. I usually allow 2–3 hours for the session so that we can work entirely at your baby’s pace. Much of the time is often spent feeding, changing diapers, comforting your baby, and allowing them to settle between photographs.

Most newborn sessions take place in your own home. Being in a familiar environment helps both baby and parents feel comfortable and relaxed, while everything you need is close at hand. Home sessions also create meaningful and personal images that reflect your family and this special chapter of your lives.

I recommend booking your newborn session during pregnancy to ensure availability. If your baby arrives earlier or later than expected, we can simply adjust the date. Flexibility is important, and the most important thing is that the session takes place at the right time for your family.

Newborn photography is about more than just taking pictures of a baby. It is about preserving memories of a unique moment in life—how tiny your baby was, what your family looked like during those first days together, and the feeling of welcoming a brand-new member into your family.

MATERNITY

There are few things as beautiful and powerful as a pregnant body. For nine months, it creates new life and carries dreams, hope, and a love that grows stronger every day.

Maternity photography is very close to my heart. As a mother of two, I know how quickly this time passes and how valuable it is to have photographs that preserve these memories. Pregnancy is a unique chapter in life, filled with anticipation, excitement, and love for someone you have not yet met.

During the photo session, I want to capture more than just your baby bump. I want to capture the feeling. The strength, pride, anticipation, and special glow that comes with becoming a mother. This is a moment for you to pause and appreciate your body and the amazing work it is doing.

The session takes place outdoors in a calm and comfortable environment, with the focus on you and the little life growing inside you. Together, we will create timeless images that tell the story of one of life’s greatest journeys—photos that you, your family, and your child can cherish for many years to come.

Your partner and any older children are very welcome to join for some photographs, but the session can also be a special moment just for you.

The best time for a maternity photo session is usually between weeks 30 and 38 of pregnancy, when the baby bump is beautifully visible and most mothers-to-be are still feeling comfortable.

FAMILY

Family is one of the most important things in life – the people we love, trust, and share our everyday moments with. That is why it is so valuable to pause for a moment and capture your time together.

A family photo session is a relaxed experience where we capture genuine moments and connections between family members. The session usually takes place outdoors at a location that is meaningful to you – by the beach, at home, at your cottage, or in one of your favorite places.

I will guide you throughout the entire session, so you do not need any experience or special preparation. The focus is on playfulness, closeness, laughter, and love, and we can photograph the whole family as well as different combinations according to your wishes.

The session is always child-led. Shyness, lots of energy, or playful mischief are all natural parts of the experience and often create the most authentic and memorable photographs.

Whether your family includes young children, grown-up children, blended families, or several generations together, we will create memories that you will cherish for a lifetime.

CHILDREN

Children grow and change so quickly, and every age has its own unique charm. My goal is to capture their personality, joy, and curiosity in a natural and playful way. By creating a relaxed environment where children can simply be themselves, we can create genuine photographs and lasting memories.

I prefer to photograph children outdoors throughout the year. Being outside allows them to explore, play, and move freely, which helps them feel comfortable and relaxed. This often results in natural images full of personality and authentic emotions.

Before the session, we will discuss the style and any ideas for props. You are welcome to bring your own, or I can provide something suitable. For younger children, it can be helpful to have something to sit on or lean against. Often, however, nature itself provides everything we need.

Children are energetic, curious, and wonderfully unpredictable, which makes every session unique. I encourage them to play, explore, and have fun while I use my experience and techniques to capture genuine expressions and special moments. Some of the most memorable photographs are often taken during these spontaneous moments of play.

PORTRAITS

A portrait is more than just a photograph – it is a way to preserve memories, highlight your personality, and capture important moments in life. Whether you need professional photos, want to update your social media profile, or celebrate a special milestone, I can help you create portraits that feel natural and personal.

Together, we will plan a photo session that suits you. The session can take place indoors or outdoors in an environment that feels right for you. Traditional occasions for portraits include confirmation, graduation, and other important milestones, but there are many more possibilities.

A personal portrait can also be inspired by a hobby or a passion that is important to you. Sometimes, it is simply about getting beautiful and professional photos for your CV, website, or other professional purposes.

Whatever the reason, a well-made portrait is an investment in memories that will last for years to come.

EVENTS

Whether you are planning an intimate family celebration or a larger public event, I can help you preserve your memories for the future. With an eye for detail, emotion, and atmosphere, I capture your most important moments in a natural and personal way.

I photograph wedding portraits, christenings, naming ceremonies, birthdays, confirmations, graduation celebrations, smaller wedding-related events, parties, and many other special occasions.

My photography style is natural and documentary, capturing genuine emotions and meaningful moments as they unfold. If you wish, we can also include beautiful portraits during the session.

Let me capture the joy, togetherness, and memorable moments, so you can enjoy the day while the memories are preserved for a lifetime.
