Valokuvaus Linda Vänskä

Maternity photography in Joensuu — I’m Linda Vänskä, a practicing cosmetologist and photographer specializing in pregnancy and maternity sessions. I approach maternity photography with a gentle, calm demeanor: my aim is to make the session a tender, meaningful experience where the feeling of pregnancy and the beginning of motherhood are captured authentically and beautifully. I work from my studio at Malmikatu 5B in the centre of Joensuu, but I also offer on-location and at-home sessions — wherever you feel most comfortable. I recommend scheduling maternity shoots roughly 1–3 months before your due date, but I remain flexible for changing timelines. If your partner or family will join the session, I suggest the medium package so we can capture a variety of compositions and shared moments. My professional background as a cosmetologist and long experience in customer service inform my work: I pay attention to appearance and comfort down to the smallest details. I collaborate with the local Womena beauty salon if you’d like to combine makeup and hairstyling with your shoot — however, your wishes and personality are always the priority in the images. My maternity sessions combine documentary warmth with considered portraiture: I aim to create images that tell your story — the beauty of the bump, the sensitivity of waiting, and the intimacy of connection. The shoot is planned together; I go through your preferences, outfit and location options, and guide relaxed poses so you feel safe and confident in front of the camera. I primarily serve the Joensuu and Kontiolahti areas, and my studio provides a peaceful, warm atmosphere for sessions. My goal is that the images you receive feel truly yours and preserve the memory of this special time for years to come. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer who combines professional skill, cheerful service and a sensitive, mother-honoring approach — please get in touch and we’ll plan a maternity session tailored just for you.
