Valokuvaus Kanerva

Valokuvaus Kanerva specializes in family photography in Tampere and the surrounding areas. For me, family photography is more than just pretty pictures — it’s a way to preserve the small, priceless everyday moments: a hand squeeze, a child’s laughter, the warmth of being together. As a mother of six and a creatively minded person, I approach each family with openness and patience. Why choose me as your family photographer? My working style emphasizes a relaxed atmosphere and moving forward on the children’s terms. I gently guide situations but also leave room for natural interaction so that emotions and genuine connections come through in the images. With experience and a professional photography qualification, I know how to meet the needs of different families and children's temperaments — including emotionally sensitive or neurodivergent children — and make the session enjoyable for both kids and adults. Practically, the process begins with a conversation: I listen to your wishes, we consider the right setting (studio or outdoor location in Tampere) and plan the shoot around your family’s everyday life. During the session I keep an unhurried pace; breaks and play are welcome — the most important thing is that you leave with a positive memory and authentic expressions captured. I am used to photographing families in a variety of situations — everyday life with a newborn, children’s milestone celebrations, christenings, and whole-family moments — and I bring a gentle, emotion-focused aesthetic to every shoot. Images are carefully edited and delivered retouched to preserve their natural mood. If you’d like to combine a family session with maternity or newborn photography, we’ll plan the sequence together so the final package serves your family’s story. If you’re looking for a family photographer in the Tampere area who values authenticity, warmth, and a child-led approach, Valokuvaus Kanerva is nearby.
