Maternity portraits

As you might know I have been building my new website, blog and portfolio with the help of designer Pedro Reis. The new splash page is already up at www.elinamanninen.com and everything else is on the way too. This is the first time I'm building a physical portfolio as well so it's been as much of a mental exercise as taking time to choose the photos. And I'm getting there even if sometimes the job feels huge :). The Porfolio folder is coming soon from Germany (and I'm thanking Merja Yeung from Studio Asadin for advice! ).

These were from a maternity fitness session I did the other week, we also did these beautiful portraits. All the best for the little one who is now about one week old :).

Maternity I Raskauskuvaus Helsinki

To work with this family was a bliss. A beautiful day, beautiful light, beautiful people :). I really made a new friend. And have her mother come all the way from China for the baby was so special. Everything is ready for the little one, now we only have to wait for him to arrive :).

A baby boy....Poikavauva...

A perfect baby boy was born yesterday -- congratulations for the whole family!

Onneksi olkoon eilen syntyneen poikavauvan johdosta koko perheelle!

Maternity session in the most beautiful location

A maternity session I did last week. I was blown away with the location -- the most beautiful house, garden & shoreline in Kauniainen.

Äitiyskuvaus, jonka tein viime viikolla. Kuvauspaikka oli Kauniaisissa ja todella kaunis - talo, piha, ranta, kaikki.

Stock photography

I've been trying to get my stock photography side of things going lately - a lot of hard work! This image is one of my most downloaded photos on one of the sites. I was also accepted to Rodeo, one of the finnish agencies. Just have to get my photos up there now!

Here are links to my galleries on the major stock sites:
