Valoisakuvat

Valoisakuvat — family photography in Kotka with heart and light. Sara Ahdepelto specializes in family photography and works primarily with families, aiming to capture genuine, warm moments you will cherish for years. The motto “Moments fade — photographs are forever” guides every photoshoot. My style is natural and warm: I seek the light and those fleeting moments where the family’s emotional bond appears without artifice. I shoot either in my home studio or on location in Kotkansaari — each setting is chosen based on what feels most comfortable and authentic for your family. When working with children I am calm and encouraging; small displays of affection and playful breaks are used to create sincere expressions and natural movement. My specialities include not only family portraits but also refined child and baby photography, newborn sessions and christening photography. In newborn photography, sensitivity and safety come first: I respect the baby’s rhythm and create a calm, secure environment for both parents and the little one. With children I use a playful approach that helps them relax and reveal their personality naturally. The photography process is based on cheerful collaboration. Before the session we discuss your wishes, locations and preferred style so that the final images reflect your expectations. On the day of the shoot I cultivate a warm, relaxed atmosphere — often a little storytelling and playful interaction produces the best shots. In post‑production I focus on preserving natural light and color; the images retain their genuine atmosphere and present light in its best form. Clients of Valoisakuvat particularly appreciate my gentle approach to children and my ability to capture tender moments. If you want family photographs where light and emotion play the leading role, you are warmly welcome to Kotka — let’s create authentic, touching memories for your family.
