PhotoArt by Katja

PhotoArt by Katja (Katja Koivumäki) specializes in maternity photography and offers a warm, welcoming place for pregnancy memories based in Kemi. I have worked in Sea Lapland (Meri‑Lappi) since 2017, combining professional expertise with a natural, client‑centred approach in every maternity session. I am especially interested in how the unique emotions of pregnancy and the changes of the body translate into photographs — my goal is to create images that feel genuinely like you and remain cherished keepsakes for years to come. My studio in Kemi features several background colours and a selection of props, but I also enjoy working outdoors if you prefer a nature‑inspired mood for your pregnancy photos. I use a portable mini‑studio, so I can set up a comfortable shooting space at a workplace or at home when needed. I keep the session calm and unhurried: I help with poses, suggest lighting, and ensure the atmosphere supports relaxed togetherness — many of the best shots come from the small, quiet gestures between posed moments. My working style is warm and encouraging. I don’t pressure you into poses; I guide gently so you feel and look your best in front of the camera. If you wish, we can include your partner, siblings, or favourite personal items — for example soft blankets, balloons, or meaningful props that tell your story. I also take care of the technical quality: I photograph with a variety of lenses and light sources to ensure results that are both beautiful and versatile for prints, albums, or digital use. As a photographer I value privacy and attentive listening. Before the session we go through your wishes and vision together, and after the shoot you choose the best images from an easy‑to‑use online gallery. PhotoArt by Katja is a natural choice in the Kemi area when you’re looking for a maternity photographer who combines sensitivity, experience, and a homely studio experience.
