Valokuvaaja Jari Heikkilä

Nobody ever regrets having too many good photographs. I’m Jari Heikkilä, a family photographer from the Jyväskylä area, and our studio is located in central Muurame. In my family photography I focus on what matters most: authentic moments, gentle direction and a calm shooting atmosphere where the whole family — especially children and babies — can be themselves. My style combines controlled studio lighting with the naturalness of environmental portraits. At the Muurame studio I use tasteful props and atmospheric window light, and when the weather allows we move outdoors without fuss. Newborn and baby photography is always done on the child’s terms; I never rush, I allow time to settle and I photograph when the best moments appear. Clients often mention the relaxed atmosphere, fast delivery times and natural-looking results — these qualities form the core of how I work. Why choose me for family photography? Because authenticity takes time: I guide thoughtfully, find the right camera angles and ensure the final images work beautifully both as prints and digitally. I offer sessions for newborns, babies and children as well as full-family shoots — christening photos, confirmation portraits and birthday sessions are also common projects. If you wish, I can also provide high-quality prints and enlargements up to large wall sizes. The process is straightforward and hassle-free: we plan the location and style together, keep the photo session calm and deliver your selected images quickly after careful post-processing. I always agree with you beforehand about image publication — we’ll select the photos that matter most to you, and I respect any requests for privacy. If you’re looking for a family photographer in the Jyväskylä area who can slow the moment down and capture genuine feelings, let’s plan a session that looks and feels like you. Send a message and we’ll arrange a time and place — in the Muurame studio or in your own meaningful environment.
