Hi, I\u2019m Viktoria \u2013 a maternity, newborn and baby photographer based in Tallinn, Estonia.<\/strong>
I work with families from pregnancy through the first birthday, capturing the quiet, meaningful moments that often pass far too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been photographing newborns professionally since 2016. In these years more than 1,500 babies visited my studio in their first weeks of life. Newborn sessions demand a lot of care and patience. My aim is to keep your baby comfortable and safe, and at the same time preserve those tiny expressions and details that soon exist only in memory. I gravitate towards a calm, minimal style so that the focus stays on the child, not on the props. Such images stay timeless and feel honest even many years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the first year a baby changes almost every month, and each stage has its own charm. Sessions with babies from about 3 to 9 months let us capture first smiles, reactions, little movements, favourite toys and, of course, first celebrations. I offer gentle, relaxed baby sessions as well as birthday shoots, including fun \u201ccake smash\u201d sets for children who are ready to explore and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a special love for maternity photography. Pregnancy is a chapter full of expectation, strength and sensitivity. During these sessions I create a space where a mother-to-be can feel comfortable and confident. The goal is not only to show how she looks, but to reflect how this period feels for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work in my own studio, LasteFoto.ee, in Tallinn<\/a>. The space is prepared for newborn, baby and maternity sessions: warm temperature, soft light, a selection of professional accessories, carefully chosen outfits and props from different countries. You can simply arrive with your family and let me take care of the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pay attention to every step of the process \u2013 from our first messages and planning to the final selection and editing of your photographs.<\/strong> My goal is not only beautiful images, but a calm, pleasant experience for the whole family and a result you will want to return to again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
