MY NAME IS SANNA HELENA AND I AM
PHOTOGRAPHER, CREATIVE, HIPPIE AT HEART, wild & free BOY MAMA STRANDED FROM OZ
MY APPROACH IN PHOTOGRAPHY (AND MOTHERHOOD)
Often we, as moms, create some unnecessary boundaries for ourselves and I want to open those boundaries through my photography.
In my opinion, there is nothing more magical in this world than expectant mothers or mothers who wholeheartedly care for their children. I understand the weight that motherhood can bear and how mothers can often feel lost in this busy world. I wish everyone could recognize the immense importance of motherhood and allow mothers to be the kind of mothers they truly want to be - wild and free.
I believe it is crucial for us mothers to be present in the photographs, even if we may feel self-conscious or not "picture worthy" in the moment. Your children will want to see photos of you as someday it will be the only thing left. Right now, you are the hero of their lives, the one who makes the impossible possible and possesses infinite wisdom. However, this will change someday, and having photographs of you will become even more significant.
My personal journey through motherhood has had its fair share of ups and downs, but ultimately, it has allowed me to discover my true essence. If you fully immerse yourself in the experience of motherhood, I believe it has boundless rewards to offer. Motherhood is a superpower, and I want to help you unlock and embrace your own unique superpower.
Sometimes we need someone else to help us to see the beauty in us and I want to be that person for you. If you’re ready to see that beauty, send me a message.

…AND MORE PERSONAL STUFF ABOUT ME
I would live barefoot all year round if I could, I would swim in any ocean or lake I stumble upon and my favourite feeling is when I can feel the sun and salty water on me.
I am a Finnish born engineer who spent 10 years in Australia. During my time there, I gave birth to my three sons and kind of rebirthed myself and became a photographer. Overcoming postpartum depression allowed me to rediscover my long lost creativity and reignite my passion for photography.
Along with this journey, I also discovered the real me.
As I began capturing images of myself and my loved ones, I realized that I wanted to share this experience with others. I would be honored to show you how my lens can capture the love that exists in your life.
“SANNA CAPTURED OUR FAMILY AND OUR PERSONALITIES PERFECTLY"
“I am so glad I found Sanna to do our family photoshoot! I love her natural style. And our photographs exceeded my expectations. She captured my family and our personalities perfectly and made us all feel so at ease in front of the camera with her calm nature. We really enjoyed the shoot and more importantly we have photos that we will treasure forever. I have received endless compliment's on how beautiful our photos are, and I highly recommend Sanna so everyone."
