Family photographer in Salo — Päivi Kankare creates natural, warm family images in studio or on location. Calm approach, gentle guidance for children and personalised storytelling for the whole family.
Päivi Kankare Studio Imagiaa is a family photographer serving the Salo area, dedicated to making the family photo session an authentic and relaxing experience. Family photography for me is about capturing a story: I aim to preserve the small gestures, joys and shared moments that reveal your family's character. During the session I create a calm, protected atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents can relax — that’s when genuine smiles and natural moments appear, the ones you’ll want to revisit years from now. My working style emphasizes warm, personal connection and gentle direction. I don’t insist on stiff posing; instead I suggest small activities and playful prompts that bring out heartfelt emotion and true personality. In the studio at STUDIO IMAGIAA I use controlled lighting and a soft visual language; for on-location shoots I draw on the moods of Salo, Turku and the wider Southwest Finland region — always choosing settings that suit your story. Family sessions often include children’s portraits, newborn and baby moments, as well as documenting family celebrations such as birthdays and other gatherings. I approach these moments with sensitivity and patience: little ones need time, and I make sure to give it. I provide careful pre-shoot guidance on wardrobe, props and practical arrangements so your shoot day runs as smoothly and comfortably as possible. Why choose me as your family photographer? I approach every session individually — we plan a photoshoot that reflects your values and personality. Clients frequently tell me the session was unexpectedly pleasant and that the final images feel warmly authentic. The studio is located in Salon Meriniitty (Pursimiehenkatu 8), and I also photograph in the Turku area and throughout Southern Finland by arrangement. Get in touch and we’ll plan a family photo day that suits you. My aim is to create images that become the kind of memories your family will return to again and again, moments that let you feel a little of that magic each time you look.
