Mari Anneli Photography

I'm Mari Lepistö, Mari Anneli Photography — a portrait photographer based in Hollola. I work in a warm, calm manner because I believe authentic portraits are born first and foremost from a good atmosphere. For me, portrait photography is a way of seeing a person as an individual: I want your personality to come through in the images, not a rehearsed role. I specialize in portrait and personal photography. I stage sessions in environments where natural light and mood support the visual story — whether you want a classic, understated professional profile image or a softer, more personal portrait. Since I typically do not work from a studio, I make use of nearby nature spots, parks and the comfort of your home so you can be genuinely yourself. How do I work? My approach is gentle and guiding: I give time, calm the situation and help with poses so that small directions lead to natural expressions. Often the best moments are spontaneous — a laugh, a glance or a subtle movement that says more than any practiced pose. I provide a safe and encouraging atmosphere, especially if being in front of a camera feels unfamiliar. As a photographer I pay attention to details: clothing tones, the mood of the background and the softness of light all help to create images that last. I also offer practical guidance before the shoot — outfit ideas, color choices and small styling tips — so the session feels easy and the images work well both online and in print. If you need a professional profile picture for LinkedIn or corporate use, I tailor sessions to those requirements as well. I believe the shoot itself should be a positive memory. I aim to make the photography day simple and aligned with your true self: we plan the location and style together, you arrive as yourself, and I make sure the final result feels right.
