Your life from pregnancy to parenthood
family photography Helsinki Finland
love, pinja
I started to shoot families when I became a mom 6 years ago. Since then families have held a special place in my heart. I capture babies, births, bumps and beyond in every season of your life. My focus is always on connection, emotion and the spaces that make you feel most at home.
Because you'll want to remember everything
love, pinja
Every home and family is beautiful in their own way. Your team, your energy, your frames. Nothing is too much, too weird or too loud. With kids, everything is a bit messy and chaotic. And that's exactly how it should be.
Before we shoot, I like to chat with you and get to know your family a bit better. I'm bad at remembering names but really good at being present. Tell me all the funny details about your family, the things that help me understand who you really are. I plan the shoot beforehand, but I always leave space for what happens naturally.
I speak the language of kids. For me the kids are the main characters, and making them feel relaxed is the first step. I'm playful by nature and I love connecting with kids, so you can trust me with them during the session. I just might end up on the floor playing or reading books with them at the end (oops!).
We don't work with a checklist (boring). What we do is play, run, feel free and enjoy life. A family session is best when it's allowed to be fun and unexpected. Your home, your nearby park, your favourite couch or a bubble bath with all the yellow ducks. That's where your life actually happens and that's where I want to photograph.
I'll guide you before and during the session, but the best moments aren't posed, they're actually lived. There's no timer ticking. We pause when the kids need it and I make everyone (yes, adults too!) feel good. You'll forget you were even nervous. The end result will be amazing, I promise.
I will make a family chaos look beautiful in pictures

You’ll receive a gallery of photographs that feel like your life: real, emotional and unpolished in the best way you could ever imagine. ps: you will get for sure sneak peeks few days after the shoot!

I arrive with time, but if needed, I'll get a lot of pictures in a short time. I'll make fun, get creative and know how to handle all kinds of kids (and forced partners haha). No awkward posing or performing at all, just gentle guidance when needed.

You will have my full support via whatsapp and email before the shoot. If you need any assistant (let's say with clothing etc.) I will help you. Any problem you have, I will try my best to fix. I will send you a photography contract and tips before hand.

You reach out to me and we chat to find out if we are a match. I'll call you before hand so we can plan the shoot together. All details can be talked, most important is the feeling inside you. What is important to you and why? Let me guide and held space for you.

How it works

"Pinja makes you feel so good in front of the camera, she guides and praises. She always strives to bring out the best in you and creates a piece of art at the same time! The end result is simply amazing!"
I’m not your average bump photographer. What makes my work and photos special is the knowledge and passion I have towards pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
For me pregnancy has been all 3 times a therapeutic and spiritual experience. I know how hard it can be, but also how much you can actually learn from yourself. I even started my entrepreneur journey after I gave birth in 2019. That’s how much power a new baby has. Since I’m a birth professional and shoot births, my work is very intimate, as I come close to you and really want to make you feel good in yourself.
I really, really want to give you all my knowledge. I’m there and I see you. This session is for you: a beautiful pause from the everyday work and hustle. Think of the session as a therapeutic powerful visual moment, where we focus on capturing many sides of you: skin, body, mind, soul and everything that you wish to be seen.
The main thing for you to do is breathe. When you breathe, you will feel relaxed and find the way to your baby. It will be just two of you and your soul’s hugging each other. My role is to help you feel comfortable, calm, and seen, exactly as you are.
During your pregnancy photoshoot, we’ll capture whatever feels good for you. I'm up for some crazy ideas too! If you prefer the comfort of your own home, let's go with that. Or if you are in the mood for an outdoor session, I'll bring my camera to a -20 degree for you.
Every body, every pregnancy, and every story is worthy.
Growing life
pregnancy photography
The time after birth is so special, especially the 40 days after birth is in many cultures the time for full rest, newborn bonding and good food. That’s why I prefer to shoot a newborn in your own cozy home. Home photo shoots are my number one choice for families with small children.
I personally think that in our culture people don’t rest enough after giving birth. I'm here to guide you, help you and nourish you - through out the newborn session. This session is super slow and we can also chat about your birth experience after it, if you like to speak about it with someone.
Newborn and baby sessions are mostly taken a few weeks after birth, but this is not written in stone. Your baby can be bigger and we can still call it "a baby photo session." No photo session with me is a copy of another. I rarely pose babies; instead, I focus on the real moments and details (hands, kisses, skin, feeding, snacks, dogs, toys..)
Many of my newborn photography clients say, that they found it really easy to have the session at home, since they didn’t need to entertain the bigger kids or leave the house. I prefer in-home sessions, but of course you are also welcome to my studio in Tapanila.
The early months
newborn & baby photography
Family photography is hard to describe, but I think kids have it figured out. They're authentic and we could learn a lot from them. I believe the session should be more about you and the things you like to do as a family, rather than me telling you what we should do. Of course I have nice secret locations for us to shoot at, but what's the fun in that? I like to dig deeper and plan the photo session in your garden, nearby park, the beach you always like to go to, your cottage etc... the list goes on!
Whether you love baking together, reading stories on the couch, or having a dance party in the living room, your family session can be simply the things you genuinely enjoy doing together. Your photos don't need to be perfect; they just need to be real. I want to capture the connection that lives in every detail, every movement and every inch of your home.
We'll capture giggles in the kitchen, flour on little noses while baking cookies and pillow fights in your bed. My main goal is to make you feel seen and good in your parenthood. The second and probably the most important, is to document your connection with my camera, not perfection. If you value natural, unposed photography that tells the real story of your family life, I might be the photographer for your family.
