Submissions for subscribers only.

Submit a story and let me photograph it into life.

submit a story

A few times a year, I choose a story from the submissions I receive.
The chosen story becomes a free photo adventure — either in Lapland or in the Helsinki/Southern Finland area, depending on the story and the season.

The submission link is available only for my email subscribers.

Subscriptions cost 3€ a month.

Subscribers have first access to bookings, cancellations, giveaways, and exclusive access to my seasonal minisessions.

Your story can be anything that carries meaning:
love, family, grandparents, friendship, siblings, a moment of hardship, a win you’re proud of, a fork-in-the-road season of life, your people, your becoming.
Big things, tiny things. Ordinary miracles. Quiet transitions. All welcome.

If your story is selected, we’ll spend time together – walking, talking – while I photograph you and craft the story in images and words.
Please only submit stories you’re comfortable sharing publicly; selected stories and images will be published on my website and social media.

These sessions are not giftable or transferable.
They are meant for the exact people in the story.

If your story is chosen, I’ll contact you by email.
The submission list stays open indefinitely. If you don’t hear from me now, don’t go jumping off a cliff above a sea (save that for the session, we’ll take epic pics!). Your story can be chosen later.

I can’t reply to everyone individually (even though I wish I could), but I read every single one with care. Your trust and your willingness to give me access to your heart mean absolutely everything.
