Maarimanna is Mikkeli's family photographer, creating relaxed and warm sessions. Specialised in children, babies and maternity — delivering natural family images for everyday life and celebrations.
Maarimanna is specialised in family photography in Mikkeli and the surrounding area. As a family photographer, the goal is to capture authentic moments: laughter, play, cuddles and the small gestures that tell your family’s story. The work is based on calmness, a child-centred approach and mutual trust so that even the most ordinary moments become natural and beautiful family photos. The approach is documentary and warm — the atmosphere of the session is created together with your family without artificial posing. Maarimanna prefers sessions where children can move and play freely so that spontaneous expressions and touches are conveyed genuinely in the images. This results in timeless, emotional photographs that reflect everyday life, from the first baby year through the play years and on to family celebrations. Family photography services also include maternity, baby, newborn and children’s sessions. Newborn photography receives special attention: safety and the baby’s wellbeing are always the priority during a newborn session. A gentle pace, careful handling and a reassuring presence help ensure both the child’s comfort and the parents’ peace of mind. Christenings or smaller family events can be photographed with the same natural, unobtrusive approach when you want to preserve the immediate feeling of the occasion. The location is always chosen according to the family’s wishes: many clients appreciate the warm atmosphere of their home, while others prefer nature and the landscapes around Mikkeli. Maarimanna gently guides the shoot and leaves room for creativity so the final images truly feel like you. Practical guidance is provided before the session — tips on timing (for example, early morning or golden hour for outdoor shoots), clothing suggestions and items to bring for a relaxed experience. As a photographer, Maarimanna emphasises people-focused service — clear communication, flexibility and careful image editing so the final result is genuinely moving and ready to use. Deliverables can include high-resolution digital files as well as printed options and albums, depending on the package. If you are looking for a family photographer in Mikkeli who understands children’s rhythms and values family dynamics, Maarimanna offers a warm, professional way to preserve your important moments.
