Maternity photo session Finland
You are pregnant. You are going to become a mother. You are overjoyed and your belly is growing and your body feels different. You are indescribably happy about the life growing inside you. All the movements and little kicks from your small, still unborn, miracle.
I want to preserve the feeling you have right now. The anticipation and the love for your child. For me it is important that the focus during the session is on you, on the feeling you have as an expectant mother.
Imagine a relaxed photography session surrounded by the quiet sounds of nature. You feel safe and joyful. Filled with inner peace. You feel beautiful and strong. The strength of carrying a child.
The photos become a beautiful memory to look back on, both for you as parents and for your child. Memories and feelings from the short but meaningful time when you were pregnant.
“When I saw Erika’s images on Instagram, I immediately knew she was exactly the photographer I was looking for. Her photos were incredibly beautiful, with a special feeling to them, and I was also drawn to her wide selection of maternity dresses available to borrow.
Being photographed by Erika was easy and fun. She knows exactly what a pregnant woman needs and makes sure to take that into account in the best possible way. The maternity dresses were amazing and highlighted my belly beautifully. During our first meeting we tried on clothes and went through details, which made me feel even more confident before the session.
The photography locations were atmospheric, and Erika gave clear guidance while paying attention to even the smallest details. The atmosphere was relaxed yet professional. I never doubted that the images would turn out beautifully, and I was right. They were incredibly beautiful, with a magical feeling.
I am so happy that Erika got to preserve this special time in my life.”

Good to know
I am based in the areas of Sibbo, Porvoo, Järvenpää, Mäntsälä and the Helsinki region. Here I also have a few favorite locations that I know work well all year round. I enjoy exploring new places and am more than happy to photograph elsewhere as well. When you get in touch, we can discuss a beautiful and suitable location just for you.
I usually photograph expectant mothers between weeks 27 and 35, but it depends very much on how your belly grows and how you are feeling. However I do recommended to get in touch and book already at the beginning of your pregnancy to guarantee available dates.
After we have booked a date, I will send a booking fee for 50% of the package price. Once the fee is paid, your date is reserved. There is no additional cost for rescheduling. You will receive an information email with details about the session, and we will schedule a possible meeting where you can come and try on maternity dresses.
After booking, I will send you a link to my maternity wardrobe where you can calmly look through the available outfits and choose your looks. Through the link you can also mark your favorites for the session. If you prefer to come to me to see and try the dresses in person, that is also possible. We will schedule a suitable time before the session and go through the options together.
If you would like a crown of real flowers or a beautiful bouquet, we can plan together well in advance what would suit you best, and I will order it from my local florist.
We will meet at the location we have decided on beforehand, often directly at the photography location, and then begin the session.
You do not need to worry about posing in any strange way. It should be a calm moment where you can move naturally and feel the joy of being pregnant. Whether you feel comfortable in your pregnant body or not, you will feel strong and beautiful during the session. We will create images that you will love.
One week after the session, you will receive a link to an online gallery with the fully edited images. From these images you can choose your favorites.
If you would like to have more images than those included in your package, it is of course possible as follows:
Single images: 18€ each
5 additional images: 60€
10 additional images: 100€
All images: 137€
Beautiful locations and magical light
The location and the light are incredibly important for creating the right feeling in an image. I have several favorite locations where I know the light and surroundings work well for portrait photography. The locations are also easily accessible and suitable for different seasons.
Beautiful maternity clothes included
I have a large selection of maternity clothes that you can choose from for your session. Skirts and dresses in different colors, shapes and materials. Both knitted cotton tops and lace tops. You can also choose from many cozy wool sweaters. There is something for all sizes and styles.
Focus on your feeling
The feeling you have shows in the photos. Whether you are used to being in front of the camera or not, I help you relax. The time you spend in front of the camera should be calm and joyful. That is my goal.
Handmade clothing for your maternity session
With me, you get to borrow maternity clothing from my maternity wardrobe during the session. You will receive a link to all available outfits, from which you can choose the number of looks depending on the package you select.
My maternity wardrobe includes knitted cotton tops, beautiful lace tops and wool sweaters that can be combined with skirts or dresses. Exactly the way you wish, and of course I am happy to give tips and ideas.
We meet before the session so you can try on the clothes and look at other options if you are unsure between different choices.
Frequently asked questions
Of course. Partners, future siblings or pets are all welcome to join the session.
Please make sure that your partner and children wear suitable clothing, preferably neutral tones that match yours. If children joins the session, I recommend photographing with them either at the beginning or at the end of the session. If possible, it is also helpful to have someone along who can take care of the children while you are being photographed, so you do not need to worry about them.
HERE you can read more about maternity photosession with your partner.
Many of the women I photograph are not used to being in front of the camera. I talk to you throughout the entire session and give you encouraging guidance so that you can feel as safe as possible. I tell you how to stand, where to look, and how you can place your hands on your belly. The most beautiful images are created when everything feels natural, so if you spontaneously feel like doing something, you are free to do so. If you are photographed together with your partner, you can be spontaneous and hold each other in ways that feel natural to you.
I talk to you during the whole session. You can feel completely at ease knowing that I will let you know if, for example, your hair has been blown into the wrong place by the wind.
HERE you can read more about what others have said about their maternity photography experience with me.
Since natural light is essential to how the images will look, I recommend that we reschedule if it is raining or if there are strong winds. There is no additional cost for rescheduling, and I am very flexible when it comes to finding a new date. We will be in touch the day before to check the weather forecast.
You are of course free to use the images however you like once they have been delivered. Please remember that no editing may be done to the images after delivery. If you publish the images, you are welcome to write Photo: Erika Lindström Photography and tag me on Instagram @erikalindstromphoto.
I am more than happy to share images from my sessions, but if you prefer to keep the images private, that is absolutely no problem at all. ♥︎
“I was looking for a professional photographer and found Erika.
The photography session with her was a unique experience. Erika was very attentive and fun.
We were lucky because the evening was incredibly beautiful and perfect for the session, and the locations Erika suggested were also very lovely.
She knew exactly where we should stand and which poses worked best.
You do not need to worry if you are not used to posing, because she gave clear instructions and the images are beautiful. The day was very special and emotional.
Now we have wonderful images from this special waiting time with our daughter.
Thank you, Erika! ❤️”

In general, I recommend scheduling the session about two months before your due date, but this depends on how your belly grows and how you are feeling. If you need to reschedule, we will find a new date. The session should be a relaxed moment for you, where you get to feel the love for your child and highlight your inner strength.

April: 4 available dates (DUE may-july)
May: 3 available dates (DUE june-august)

Behind the lens you will find me, Erika, 33 years old, a crazy plant lady. I can also be called a crazy cat lady and a crazy knit lady, but I am not completely crazy. Maybe we are all a little bit crazy in our own way.
I love being outdoors, especially in the forest. Preferably going for a walk, either with a friend or alone. Nature brings calm and presence.
Training at the gym is my favorite hobby, and bench press interests me the most within powerlifting.
Most of the time I am filled with energy and inspiration to life. Working as a photographer and entrepreneur suits me well, as I get to use my creativity and independence.
Besides nature, I love vegan food, animals, astrology and Formula 1.

“The photography session was an empowering and positively unreal experience.
Erika’s presence and the calm she radiated made the session memorable.
It felt natural and I lived fully in the moment of love. In that moment, everything existed.
The images turned out incredibly beautiful. When I saw them, tears of joy streamed down my cheeks and I felt so deeply grateful.”
