Anette Sundström Photography

Anette Sundström is a portrait photographer based in Porvoo whose core expertise is personal portraiture. Her approach emphasizes natural expression, subtle moments and careful composition — the goal is to convey the subject’s personality and strengthen it through a clear visual style. Why choose Anette for portrait photography? She combines professional photographic skill with a warm, calm working manner that suits both camera-confident clients and those who feel shy in front of the lens. Sessions focus on creating a genuine connection: a pre-shoot conversation, a shared vision and encouraging guidance during the session help discover natural expressions, flattering poses and the lighting that works best for each person. Anette’s style leans toward timeless imagery and clean composition. She uses light and space to emphasise facial features and the depth of expression while leaving room for relaxed, spontaneous moments that often make portraits most touching. Post-processing is restrained and purposeful: the aim is to preserve authenticity, enhance the best features and deliver images that feel true to the person. The working process is uncomplicated and client-focused. Before the shoot Anette reviews your wishes and the intended use of the portrait — whether a personal keepsake, a professional headshot or a LinkedIn profile image. On the day she creates a calm atmosphere, gives clear and supportive direction and pays attention to details such as background, styling and wardrobe so the final results are cohesive and polished. Thanks to long-standing local experience, Anette knows Porvoo’s light and environments well and uses them creatively as portrait backdrops — from the charm of the Old Town to peaceful riverside settings. Although portrait photography is her main focus, she occasionally accepts family and event assignments, while portraiture remains her speciality. Practical details such as session length, delivery format and gentle retouching are agreed in advance. Anette offers both studio and on-location portraits, digital files and print options, always tailored to the client’s needs. If you want a professional, genuine and personal portrait in Porvoo, Anette Sundström provides a calm, trustworthy photo experience and portraits that present you clearly and beautifully.
