"We had built our house three years before and had a large wall waiting for the right piece. When we were expecting our first child, we knew we wanted to capture that time in a way that felt personal.
Traditional photos didn’t feel like us. But when we discovered Riina’s work, everything clicked. The idea of becoming part of the art itself resonated deeply.
The painting session was relaxed and meaningful. Riina listened, then created with freedom. The colours and composition fit our space and story perfectly.
When we unwrapped the final print, we were speechless. It wasn’t just a beautiful image - it was alive with feeling. That piece still reminds us to be grateful. And it reminds us of our love.
We later commissioned another painting during our second pregnancy. These artworks tell the story of our journey as a family. Our son knows which painting includes him, and our daughter recognizes her own. The placements of the artworks in our home have remained unchanged and will likely stay that way. The emotional value they hold continues to grow over time. 💛"Susanna & Mikko
