Ellen Kivistö Production

Are you looking for a family photographer in Turku who understands the tenderness of everyday life and can turn moments into warm, lasting memories? I’m Ellen — a family photographer, mother and nature‑minded storyteller. I specialize in family photography and focus on capturing real connection and playful moments that feel like you now — and will still feel like you decades from today. Why choose me as your family photographer? Because I bring experience, empathy and presence. As a parent, I know how important it is to create a session where children can be themselves and adults can relax. I photograph families at every stage — from newborns and babies to playful children and whole‑family gatherings, including christenings or birthday moments. My goal is to deliver images that show closeness, joy and that small imperfect perfection that makes you who you are. Style and working method My images are atmospheric, nature‑oriented and timelessly toned. I rely heavily on natural light and choose locations that support the story of the session — I love nature and often use it as a calm backdrop for family portraits. My approach is gentle and guiding: I help you into natural poses, suggest games and small tasks that bring out genuine expressions. You will receive a preparation guide and a pre‑session conversation so you know what to expect and can prepare in peace. Locations, delivery and security I photograph outdoors in Turku’s beautiful spots as well as in your home — both create different but equally valuable memories. I invest time in careful editing: sorting and color work to make the result feel recognizably yours. You will receive a finished, password‑protected web gallery — an easy way to share images with loved ones and order prints or products later. All files are backed up and stored securely. My values guide my work: closeness to nature, sustainability, humanity and inclusivity. I do not use appearance‑altering retouching; I want you to recognize yourselves in the pictures as you are. If you’d like to pause a moment and make your family memories visible, let’s start a conversation — we’ll plan a session that truly feels like you.
