Jyväskylä-based portrait photographer Sanna Kostamo creates calm, authentic portraits as well as passport and LinkedIn photos. She focuses on personal guidance and atmospheric, timeless results.
I'm Sanna, a portrait photographer rooted in Jyväskylä and a visual creator whose passion is to freeze moments that say more about a person than words can. For me, portrait photography is a way to see and convey personality — I want your images to feel genuine, speak to viewers and stand the test of time. My working methods combine the visual eye of my advertising-agency background with artistic sensitivity. I approach each portrait session individually: we begin with a conversation about your wishes and goals — whether you need a classic professional LinkedIn headshot, a natural studio portrait, or a more intimate environmental portrait. I plan the shoot carefully and give light, supportive direction during the session so the atmosphere stays relaxed and authentic. On set I prioritise a safe, unrushed environment. Often the best images come from small moments and natural interaction — I gently guide poses and expressions so the final result genuinely feels like you. I offer studio portraits in Jyväskylä as well as environmental shoots in suitable locations. If you wish, I deliver high-quality digital files or printed products from your selected images, so the photos work both online and on your walls. I also specialise in professional corporate photography: staff and brand imagery where I combine portrait techniques with a clear visual line that serves marketing and communications. I work with corporate clients in a service-minded way — planning, the shoot day and image delivery are carried out according to our agreement and always with attention to supporting your brand identity. As a photographer I am guided by the desire to capture emotions and create images that leave breathing room. If you want an authentic, thoughtfully planned portrait session in Jyväskylä — passport photos, LinkedIn headshots or corporate portraits — let’s build a visual identity that suits you.
