Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book a portrait session?

You can reach out by emailing me directly. Once we discuss your needs, I’ll confirm availability and send details about the process.

Where do sessions take place?

Sessions can take place outdoors, in your home, or at a rented studio depending on the style you’re looking for.

Do you travel? Do you charge travel fees?

I’m based in Helsinki but very open to traveling for projects. Travel fees may apply depending on the location.

When will I receive my photos?

Turnaround is usually within 2–4 weeks, depending on the scale of the project. I’ll always give you an estimated delivery time when we book.

Do you retouch the photos?

Yes, every delivered photo is edited for color, light, and tone. Subtle retouching is done where necessary, but I aim for a natural and timeless look.

Will the photos be shared on social media or your website?

As a photographer, sharing selected images is essential to showcase my work and connect with new clients. I take care to post respectfully and never in a way that feels exploitative. By booking a session, you agree that I may use some of the images on my website, Instagram, or portfolio. If you’d prefer certain images to remain private, please let me know in advance.

Do you shoot film?

Yes, I shoot film mostly for personal projects. But I have also shot on film e.g. during weddings and portrait sessions. You may ask for images shot on film for an extra fee.

What are your image usage/licensing terms?

Clients receive a personal-use license for prints and social media. For commercial use, publicity, or resale, separate licensing fees and agreements apply — please contact me with usage details and I’ll provide a quote.

How are the images shared with me and are they backed up?

I back up files in multiple locations; drives and cloud storage. Upon delivery, the client will get a link to a personal online gallery for download. The images are stored in the gallery for 6 months and after this, the link will be inactive.
