A relaxed maternity session at Lammassaari wooden trail
Early August evenings in Helsinki are something truly special. The sun sets slowly, painting everything in soft golden light, and the warmth of summer still lingers in the air. During this session, we were lucky enough to enjoy that magical golden hour glow for nearly two hours.

Maternity photography sessions from €140
This shoot is a perfect example of why knowing your locations matters and why a good maternity photographer in Helsinki always has a backup plan. We had originally arranged to meet near the Tekniikan museo in Vanhakaupunki, but when we arrived, the entire area was blocked off due to construction. The beautiful riverside spot we had planned to use was completely inaccessible.
Rather than settling for something mediocre, I suggested we move. Just nearby are the stunning Pornaistenniemi meadows and the Lammassaari wooden trail and honestly? It turned out to be the better choice.
Three outfits, three moods
The mama-to-be had brought three beautiful outfits, which gave the session such lovely variety. We started in a warm orange dress that glowed against the lush greenery, then moved to a soft white gown by the water’s edge, and finished with a relaxed beige look as the light turned golden.
Despite the unexpected change of plans, the atmosphere stayed calm and unhurried throughout and that shows in the images. There’s real joy and quiet anticipation in every frame.
After the session, I received the loveliest message. Sometimes a small detour leads to something even more beautiful than what you originally imagined.
