Sofia Virtanen

Maternity photography is one of Sofia Virtanen’s core strengths — she works as a specialist maternity photographer in Kotka and the Kymenlaakso region. Sofia approaches the expecting period with sensitivity and respect: her aim is to capture the beauty of impending motherhood and genuine emotions without excessive staging. She holds a professional photography qualification and, through years of experience, has developed a method that blends documentary and portrait approaches into a harmonious whole. Her working style is calm and proceeds according to the client’s wishes. Before the session, preferences and stylistic direction are discussed — would you like a classic studio set, soft natural-light atmosphere, or some images taken on location? The studios in Karhula Industrial Park offer both a heated downstairs studio and a bright natural-light studio, equipped with props, a makeup station and preparation spaces. Styling and makeup services are available as optional add-ons: a stylist can help with clothing choices and theme development so the final set of images tells your story. Sofia’s manner is warm, lively and reassuring — she gently guides poses and expressions so the photos look natural and timeless. Work typically includes a preliminary consultation, the session itself, test proofs in a password-protected online gallery, and careful post-processing. The result is beautiful images that serve as keepsakes of the pregnancy period and as part of your family’s storytelling. Choose Sofia if you want a maternity session that emphasizes personalization, professional skill and a Kotka-based studio experience. Sofia also photographs families and portraits, so many clients return for newborn and family shoots — this way memories from pregnancy become part of a continuous, thoughtfully documented story.
