Valokuvaus Kanerva

Valokuvaus Kanerva is a Tampere-based maternity photographer who captures the anticipation of pregnancy with a gentle and creative approach. Combining personal experience as a mother of six with a professional photography qualification, I meet each expectant parent as an individual. My priority is to record emotion — those small, golden everyday moments that you’ll want to return to for years to come. My style is warm, relaxed and guiding: I create a photoshoot environment where it’s easy to be yourself. I offer direction for poses and expressions when needed, but I also look for natural moments that allow the mother-to-be and the couple to be present and authentic. I value calm and flexibility during sessions — my goal is for you to arrive feeling relaxed and to leave with a pleasant memory of the experience. I photograph both in the studio and on location across Tampere and nearby towns. Often the late stage of pregnancy is the most flattering time for maternity photos, when the shape and anticipation show beautifully. Before the shoot I provide practical tips and ideas on clothing, composition and props so the final images feel authentic and like you. I aim to make the whole process feel personal and well prepared, so clients feel listened to and confident. My extensive background photographing families and children informs my maternity work: patience, gentleness and the ability to read a moment are part of my everyday practice. I continually refine my visual approach through learning and creative development — my goal is to blend creativity and warm documentary-style storytelling into beautiful maternity photography. Valokuvaus Kanerva is a great fit if you want sincere, emotive and calm maternity photography in Tampere. Get in touch and we’ll design a maternity session that respects your story and the delicate beauty of this moment.
