Teemu Toikka Photography

I’m Teemu Toikka, a family photographer based in Tampere who loves capturing warm, authentic family moments. My background as a teacher has helped me develop a gentle and patient way of working with people — I approach family photography with the same care and calm I would want for my own family portraits. I mostly work from my natural-light studio in the Tampella area (Verstaankatu 4), but I’m also happy to shoot on location across Tampere and the beautiful Pirkanmaa region. The studio has space for movement and play, so children don’t need to sit still — in fact, the best images often come from doing and exploring. My approach is relaxed and guiding: I won’t ask you to “perform,” but I’ll help create moments where you’re at your best together. Why choose me for your family photography? I focus on what matters: genuine togetherness, each child’s personality, and the character of your family. Sessions are planned around your needs; I send a practical preparation guide and, if needed, we go through details in a short pre-shoot questionnaire so the day runs smoothly. The shoot itself is unhurried: we take breaks and follow the child’s pace so the final images are ones you’ll want to return to for years. My family services include both studio and on-location sessions, and I also specialise in child and newborn photography as part of a family session. Every booking includes careful basic editing and an initial selection gallery delivered after the session to make choosing and receiving your images easy. Clients often highlight how relaxed and child-friendly the session felt and how many touching, candid moments the gallery contains. I offer a full satisfaction guarantee because I want your family’s experience to be as valuable as the finished photographs. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Tampere who works warmly, professionally and at your family’s pace, get in touch and we’ll plan a session that suits you — and capture a few memories along the way.
