The one sentence I hear most often from my clients is: “Nobody can take a good photo of me.” That’s a lie. First of all, you can’t say nobody until you’ve made all of the over 7 billion people to push a shutter with you in front of the camera. All you can say is: “So far no one has taken a good photo of me.” And that’s likely not true either. Because surely there are good photos of you….

The power of the inner beauty | glamour boudoir kuvaus
I BELIEVE that every woman is beautiful that no cover girl looks like on the cover of a magazine when she gets from under the covers in the morning that every woman has a cellulitis (heck I see newborn boys with dotty butts) that we should stop comparing ourselves with others that fashion trends will pass and as much as it’s cool to own a piece of the new season it’s nicer to read a good book that most slender…

Does classic beauty have place in modern times? | boudoir kuvaus
One summer afternoon a long time ago (sometimes it feels like centuries), I was rummaging through dusty closets in my grandma’s attic. Oh the treasures that we found there! Most of all I loved flipping through the old women magazines … Not the international ones, Vogue was unheard of behind the iron wall, but a nice version of Gloria from the fifties. The smell … the yellow pages … the cut-out spots! It was all so mysterious and romantic. And…

Shine & Give back | Glamour boudoir kuvaus
When someone asks “Who are you?”, my answer may be any of the following: “I am Niki, a portrait photographer, a mother and a wife. I am a friend, a sister and a daughter as well.” Somehow among all these roles I tend to forget about one important thing: “I am a woman.” And every woman, in the words of my favorite photographer Sue Bryce, wants to feel beautiful, she wants to make her beloved happy and she wants world…

A letter to a friend who finally decided to have a boudoir shoot | huomenlahjakuvaus
I am blessed with having a community of colleagues – wedding photographers – who are not only my colleagues but also my friends. Despite the geographical proximity and the fact that we are all actually competition for each other, we find space to share and cooperate. And I am immensely grateful for that. Our cooperation and like-minded approach to the business has resulted into Sanotahdon.fi (launched today!) – a place where wedding photographers of Finland show their passion for photography,…

5 decisions before booking a boudoir session | Huomenlahjakuvaus
Pretty soon a new website is coming up, springing from a cooperation among the wedding photographers of Finland. While I don’t consider myself a primarily wedding photographer, the good guys graciously let me spend time with them and participate on the same efforts. That I am very thankful for. Despite the geographical proximity and clear competition – there is still loads of space for friendship and sharing. We would like the website to serve as a source of information for…

Warm up | Boudoir-kuvaus
I photographed a dear client yesterday. When women were created, a batch of them was made with the pre-programmed idea that they can’t pose. I love nothing more than proving them wrong… Consider this a warm up for a boudoir session. I hope to be able to share some results of that part of the evening too…

Who am I to be glamorous, fabulous and desirable … | Boudoir kuvaus
“Why would I want to have 25 images of myself in lingerie?” some women ask me when they discover that I (love to) photograph boudoir. If you have to ask this question, you probably are not going to be my next boudoir client. Unless … well, unless there is a hint of uncertainty in your voice. In which case I hope you are going to be my next boudoir client, because it means you actually would love to have boudoir…
