ABOUT

HI! I'm Venla.

A Helsinki-based photographer, but available to travel elsewhere.

And available in finnish*

I never really thought I could be photographed; not comfortably, at least. That’s why I care so much about creating a space where others can feel at ease in front of the camera, even if it’s their first time.

Over time, I’ve had the chance to photograph a wide range of people and moments. Events, brand shoots, portraits, and quiet everyday scenes. I'm most drawn to the honest, in-between moments. The ones that feel like memories.

My style blends lifestyle and documentary with a warm, editorial touch. Think: natural light, thoughtful details, and images that reflect the real essence of each person, place, or scene.

Whether you prefer posed or improvised, I shape my approach around your story, vision, and what matters most to you. I'm here to collaborate and create something that truly feels like you.

Let’s create something worth remembering!

Testimonials from previous clients

Saara, Graduation

"Venla and I went to shoot my graduation photos, and I'm really happy with both the finished images and the shooting process! I was a bit nervous to step in front of the camera, but Venla created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere so that I could be as I am.

Before the shoot, I wasn't entirely sure what kind of pictures I wanted, but Venla gave me a lot of different ideas and listened to my wishes during the session, so I was pleasantly surprised by the results; how great pictures you can get even in a nearby forest.

The shoot lasted just under an hour, during which we had time to go around a lot of different locations and backgrounds. The photos were already ready and edited the very next day.

All in all, the experience was amazing and really positive. Thank you so much to Venla for making this important day so memorable in such a professional way!"
