Illusia Photography

Illusia Photography specializes in maternity photography — Iida Salenius is a maternity photographer whose passion is to capture the uniqueness of pregnancy and the tender beginnings of motherhood. I work from my studio in Leppävaara, where I create a warm and calm environment so the expectant mother can focus on the moment without hurry. My approach to maternity photography blends documentary sensitivity with studio expertise: I seek authentic expressions and gestures while carefully managing lighting, composition and a soft color palette. Sessions emphasize the shape of the belly, the connection to the baby and the mother’s feelings — images can be intimate, classic or naturally integrated with the surrounding environment. In the studio I use soothing tones and also offer natural-light options so the photos convey warmth and dignity. How I work: I allocate ample time for preparation and consultation before the shoot so we can plan style, outfits and any props together. During the session I aim to make the experience relaxing and encouraging — I provide gentle posing guidance and look for natural moments that allow the client’s personality to shine. In post‑production I focus on mood and finishing so the final images feel right for you. Choose Illusia Photography if you want a maternity photographer who understands the sensitivity of pregnancy and reflects it in every image. I operate professionally yet warmly: my goal is for the session to be a rewarding experience and for the finished maternity photos to remind you of this important phase of life for many years. Welcome to my Leppävaara studio — let’s discuss your wishes and create a collection of images that celebrate the uniqueness of your pregnancy. If you have questions about wardrobe, timing or the session flow, I’m happy to help you plan a confident, comfortable shoot tailored to you.
