Valokuvaaja Katja Karjanmäki

Family photography is close to Katja’s heart — she believes the best images are made when a family can be exactly as they are. Photographer Katja Karjanmäki specializes in family photography in Lohja and West Uusimaa, emphasizing natural expression, authentic emotion and a soft, timeless aesthetic. Katja’s approach is gentle and calming: sessions progress unhurriedly and follow the family’s own rhythm. Sessions often take place at home or in bright, natural‑light locations — places where you feel safe and relaxed. This setting makes it possible to capture everyday moments, sincere expressions and warm closeness that appear in the images as genuine and touching. For Katja, family photography is not only about composition but about storytelling: she seeks the small, meaningful moments — hugs, laughter, tickles and the little imperfections that make your family yours. Children are photographed through play and without excessive direction, so expressions and movements remain natural. Working with newborns and baby families is gentle and paced to the baby’s needs; Katja values careful preparation and a calm atmosphere so the moment can be captured without stress. Throughout the process Katja provides practical tips on clothing and location choices, keeps the session relaxed and offers a preselection gallery to help you choose images. The final result is a set of carefully edited photographs, with attention to tone and mood — and, if desired, these can be ordered as beautiful fine art prints so those memories come to life on your walls. If you are looking for a family photographer who prioritizes authentic moments and a gentle atmosphere, Katja is a well‑known choice in the Lohja area. Her strength lies in making the photo session an easy, warm and genuinely meaningful experience for the whole family.
