Toiminimi Valokuvaaja Jaana Kotamäki

I’m Jaana Kotamäki, a Turku-based family photographer and seasoned professional with a long career in photography. Family photography is a meaningful and close-to-heart part of my work: I aim to capture genuine moments and interactions that make family images emotionally valuable for years to come. I work throughout Turku and the wider Southwest Finland area, offering sessions both in my studio and at locations you prefer. I specialise in family and child photography. Newborn photography and child sessions are always carried out at the child’s pace — a calm, playful and encouraging atmosphere helps bring out true expressions and personality. When needed, I take my studio equipment with me, so we can use studio lighting or natural light depending on the mood you want for your images. My approach combines a documentary sensibility with an artistic eye: I strive to capture moments naturally while carefully composing each shot so every image tells its own small story. With over 20 years of experience and an award-winning background, you can trust the technical execution and visual quality of the results. My artistic work also appears in the use of creative shooting techniques and visual sensitivity, which makes family photographs personal and timeless. Working closely with clients is important to me. We plan the session together: you tell me your wishes — a classic portrait, a relaxed documentary series, or a special environmental portrait — and I suggest light direction, locations and timing. Pets are often part of family life; pet photography is also included in my services for the local area. I offer family photography for different stages of life: newborns, family portraits, child sessions and photography for special moments. If you want a genuine, warm and professional way to record your family’s moments in the Turku region, get in touch — we’ll book a session time that suits you.
