Specialist maternity photographer in Salo. Tuija creates calm, atmospheric maternity portraits in studio or on location, respecting clients' wishes and offering loan wardrobe for expectant mothers.
Hi — I’m Tuija Elonen, a maternity photographer specialising in pregnancy portraits from the Salo area. As a mother of three, I understand how unique and tender the pregnancy period is, and I aim to capture its atmosphere with a natural, respectful approach. My maternity photography focuses on authenticity, calm and your personal vision — creating images that feel like you and that you’ll want to look back on years from now. My style is soft and warm: I combine portraiture with a documentary sensibility to produce both intimate close-ups of the belly and hands and atmospheric couple portraits. Sessions can take place in my studio at the Astrum Centre in Salo or on location — for example at the beach, in the forest or in the comfort of your home. The choice is always based on your wishes and the conditions. I also have a loan wardrobe for expectant mothers, which helps create a timeless and harmonious look without extra stress. My working method is warm and calm: we plan the session together, I listen to your wishes and adapt to the situation — sometimes I guide gently, other times I observe from the side. I aim for the photoshoot day to feel like a pleasant break from everyday life; I want clients to feel safe and beautiful. We can discuss the location, outfits and any props in advance, and I can provide tips for makeup and styling if needed. I mainly serve the Salo and Southwest Finland region, and sessions can be arranged for a wider area when required. Services are available in Finnish, Swedish, English and German. If you’d like to preserve a memory of your pregnancy, please get in touch — let’s plan a calm, warm maternity session tailored to you, with images that carry the feeling and story forward.
