She takes a lifestyle approach: subtle guidance, plenty of space for natural interaction and close attention to detail — from a tiny hand on your belly to the soft light that surrounds you. The way she works is personal and relaxed. Before the session you’ll discuss location and style together: a mood-filled outdoor spot or the trusted intimacy of your home. You’ll receive styling advice and may use the client closet free of charge, with carefully selected dresses and kimonos especially suitable for maternity photography. On the day itself Ylja follows your rhythm; she creates a safe, playful atmosphere where real emotions and gentle moments arise naturally. She also pays careful attention to natural light and subtle, flattering editing so the final images feel timeless.
