Autumn is moody and the colors arrive when they please. The exact shooting dates are decided at the very last minute based on AI crystal ball, and my recent crash course in meteorology.

There’s something about autumn that aches sweetly.

A leaf catches your eye and suddenly a door swings open in your heart. Out runs the child you once were — eager to pick it up, carry it home, and press it safe between newspaper sheets, as if to hold time still.

I want your autumn mini session images to be like that leaf. Bursting with color, handled with care, and carrying the key to your memories.

Hiya! I am Niki Strbian!

I am a family photographer based in Espoo and the older I am the more I love autumn. Water in the lake is finally getting colder, mushrooms are springing from the ground and if there was a perfume made from the smell of decaying leaves, I would wear it every day.

Hey, maybe I am a ghost!

How are my autumn mini sessions different?

These are not cookie cutter mini sessions. I’d bore myself to death if I repeated the same poses in the same spot over and over. That’s why I carefully pick versatile locations where I can create something new and unique for every family.

But the real magic? It’s you: your energy, your wishes, your family, and the way you share love.

  • Best investment ever, warmly recommended!

    Niki has been capturing our family memories for many years, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s fast, fun, and makes every shoot feel effortless. The kids adore “Aunty Niki” and always look forward to our sessions, which take us to beautiful new places.”

  • Niki knows how to capture the true essence of our child.

    We come back year after year to document our family’s growth and collect the minisessions like Pokemon cards. Niki is amazing with kids who can’t sit still. Every gallery shows exactly who our daughter was at that stage. We can’t wait for the next session!”

You’ll almost smell the crushed leaves and smoke drifting in cold air from a sauna heating up in the distance. That’s autumn, before it becomes slush.

20 minutes seems rather short?

If you kids/spouse are shy, I recommend booking a regular session. However, I’ve shot over 500 mini sessions since 2011, so I have tricks up my sleeve.

If you are planning to come with the whole family tree, it’s better to book a regular session.
