Studio Taikalyhty is a family photographer in Lappeenranta photographing families, children and newborns in studio or on location. A relaxed, warm approach makes the experience natural.
Studio Taikalyhty is a portrait studio in Lappeenranta specialized in family photography, where Pia Alatalo combines professional skill with a warm, people-centred approach. Family photography is at the heart of the studio — my aim is to capture the atmosphere that is true to your family: genuine expressions and the small moments you’ll look back on for years. I photograph families, children and newborns as well as christening and memorial sessions. Pets often naturally form part of family portraits and can be included either in the studio or in an outdoor setting. My working style is calm and encouraging: I strive to make the shoot playful and relaxed so that young children and new parents alike find the experience pleasant. The studio offers a varied selection of props and several backdrop options, but we can also photograph you in your preferred environment — close to home or at an event venue. The studio has an accessible entrance and plenty of free parking, which makes visits easy for the whole family. After the shoot, I professionally process the images and provide a clear, easy way to select your favourites online. I have long experience in portrait and child photography; I have worked in the field since 1994 and have furthered my skills with professional qualifications. This experience shows in subtle posing guidance, finding the best light and mood, and ensuring the final images feel like you. Choosing Studio Taikalyhty means selecting a family photographer in Lappeenranta who values naturalness, warmth and genuine connection with those being photographed. Whether you are planning a newborn shoot, a playful children’s session, a full family portrait or a christening, let’s plan a session that suits you. With a relaxed and friendly approach we create memories that will last for decades. Contact me with confidence — together we’ll design a photography session that reflects your family and provides images you’ll treasure.
