Katja has long experience shaped by both family and portrait photography; her approach is founded on the belief that the best images are created when people feel relaxed and at ease. Why choose Katja for your family photography? Her style is softly natural—she works primarily with natural light and seeks out tender moments: small expressions, gentle touches and everyday gestures that tell a family’s story. Katja specialises in family, newborn and children photography and knows how to create a safe, encouraging environment for little ones through her calm and supportive manner. The result are intimate, timeless family images that convey personality and warmth. How does Katja work? Before the session she likes to learn about your family’s wishes and daily life—this conversation helps plan the location and style that suit you best. Sessions can take place in the studio or in natural settings around the Porvoo area; Katja prefers a soft, natural aesthetic and gently guides moments rather than staging or forcing poses. After the shoot, clients choose their favourite images, which are carefully refined for tone and mood in post‑production. What to expect: gentle direction, warmth and respectful attention—Katja’s goal is that you return to your images again and again and feel truly seen. She has a strong visual eye and the sensitivity to capture the small, meaningful moments that make up family life. Studio by Katja Utkina offers family photography where your story and authentic emotions are the focus. If you are looking for a Porvoo family photographer who works naturally, warmly and professionally, Katja specialises in exactly that.
