FAMILY AND SENIOR PHOTOS IN ROVANIEMI

Cold December photoshoot in the city

This winter season has been so busy and full of wonderful photoshoots. I have met people from so many different countries. I love this part of my work; meeting people from different cultures and just talking about life. It also helps me seeing my home city with new eyes.

I met this fun and kind family from the U.S. in December 2022. We had talked about different locations for the photoshoot and the clients wanted to see the some iconic Rovaniemi scenes in their photos. We decided to have the photoshoot in the center of the city, which was something I haven’t done in a long time. And I loved it.

First we had some family photos with the iconic “Jätkänkynttilä” bridge in the background.

It was a really cold day and it was a little windy by the river Kemijoki. But we had such a good time! I always ask my clients to bring warm clothes, especially gloves and warm coats for the photoshoot.

Rebecca, the oldest daughter, is a senior in High School, so we took some senior photos of her at the same time.

We walked along the Kemijoki river and took more fun and relaxed photos. Moving around and walking helped to keep us warm.

The center in Rovaniemi is decorated with beautiful Christmas lights during the winter season. We wanted to have a few photos around Koskikatu, the pedestrian street in Rovaniemi.

I had such a great time during this one hour photoshoot with this American family. I think you can see how much fun we had in the photos as well. Of you are travelling to Rovaniemi and want to book a holiday session, send me a message! My calendar is usually booked about one month in advance, so please contact me already before your trip.

SURPRISE PROPOSAL AT NAPAPIIRI, ROVANIEMI

Proposal and engagement photoshoot in Rovaniemi


I want to share a special photoshoot from last winter with you. In March, 2018 I got a message from Robert from New York, who wanted to surprise his girlfriend Sabrina during their stay in Rovaniemi. He asked me to photograph his surprise propsal at Santa Clause Village at the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi and to take their engagement pictures afterwards. I was very excited and happy to do the photoshoot. Robert send me some pictures of them before the big day, so I would recognize them. Santa Clause Village is a place that is filled with people and cameras, so I didn’t actually have to go and hide in any bushes.

Robert told me that he normally isn’t very romantic, but this is a super romantic idea in my opinion! On the day of the photoshoot it was beautifully snowing and I quickly spotted Robert and Sabrina at our meeting point. I had sent Robert some pictures of the place beforehand, so we would easily find each other.

And she said yes! The surprise was a success and we had such a beautiful photoshoot at Santa Claus village and close by at a local reindeer farm. I’m so lucky to have met this wonderful couple. The best part of my job is meeting such nice people, from around the world.
