Studio by Katja Utkina Photographer

Hi, I’m Katja — Studio by Katja Utkina from Porvoo. I am a natural‑light portrait photographer with several years of professional experience. In my portrait photography, my priority is to create authentic, flattering images that feel true to you. Why choose me for your portrait session? I work toward a soft, natural look with direct yet gentle guidance. My specialty is women’s portraiture and personal portraits: I aim to create relaxed situations and converse during the shoot so that even someone who is shy in front of the camera can relax. My goal is to find flattering angles and light that let you look at your photos and feel beautiful and genuine. My style emphasizes naturalness and mood. I mainly use natural light and seek a soft, warm tonal palette in my shoots. I want to capture expressions, gestures, and moments — not just posed production — so your portraits tell something about your personality and presence. The shooting process with me is warm and client-focused. We start with a conversation about your wishes and inspirations: we discuss style, clothing, and the mood you want. On the day of the shoot I create a calm and encouraging atmosphere, give clear directions, and also leave room for spontaneity. The result is a collection of images combining technical quality with a human touch. Although portrait photography is my primary specialty, I also photograph personal portraits and professional profile photos suitable for business use, such as LinkedIn headshots. In these projects I combine the expressive approach of portraiture with a professional, clear message — while preserving individuality and softness in the images. I operate in Porvoo and the surrounding area.
