Sanna Liimatainen Ky

Portrait photography is my core expertise. I’m Sanna Liimatainen, a portrait photographer based in Espoonlahti, Espoo, and I approach every shoot from both a journalistic and corporate communications perspective — backed by over 20 years of experience. At the heart of my work is capturing the human element: I create portraits that tell a story, evoke emotion and work strongly as profile images or in corporate communications. Why choose me as your portrait photographer? My strength lies in getting people to enjoy and relax in front of the camera. A relaxed atmosphere and clear direction bring out natural expressions and poses — that’s when images feel genuine rather than staged. My background in journalism and corporate communications helps me understand what kind of image best serves an individual’s or organisation’s message. My working method is planned yet flexible. Before the shoot we go through the intended use, style and location preferences as well as communication goals. I can build a studio on location when needed — I also shoot in my Kerava studio — and I take care of lighting, composition and that small creative idea that makes an ordinary image stand out. I aim for a shoot that is clear, smooth and pleasant: the best results come from a good mood and clear collaboration. I specialise particularly in corporate and LinkedIn portraits. I’ve delivered staff photography, HR and profile images tailored to each role — whether that means approachable, experienced expert or energetic doer. In addition, I have extensive experience with editorial portraits (including work for Kodin Kuvalehti’s "Perhekuvioita" series), which enriches my visual approach. I offer professional, people-centred portrait photography from Espoonlahti. Whether you need a profile photo, corporate portrait or a more thoughtful personal portrait, let’s plan a shoot together that works online and in print. Get in touch — I’d love to help you get the image that tells your story in the best possible way.
