Portrait photographer Sari Ayre (Suutarila) creates authentic, expressive portraits in studio or on location. I also offer professional LinkedIn profile photos and corporate headshots. A relaxing shoot experience.
I’m Sari Ayre, a portrait photographer based in Suutarila. For me, portrait photography is above all a way to see and tell a person’s story in a single image: the moment that reveals your personality, professional pride, or the feeling you want to convey. I specialize in individual portraits — both in the studio and on location — and I also provide professional profile photo sessions for companies and private clients. My working style is warm, attentive and guiding. I understand that being in front of the camera can feel nerve-wracking, so I aim to create a calm and honest atmosphere where you can be yourself. I gently direct poses and expressions, but I always strive for naturalness: I want the real you to show in the images — not just a pose or a smile, but a story and an emotion. At my Suutarila studio we can build a session that fits your purpose: a classic, understated LinkedIn profile photo, a more expressive professional portrait for your website, or a personal portrait captured in an ambient location. For on-location shoots I use natural light and know a range of great spots across the Helsinki metropolitan area; in the studio I can create a controlled, timeless look. I consider client communication and collaboration essential: before the session we discuss your wishes, expressions and intended use so the final images serve you precisely. The shoot itself is often relaxing and even empowering — for many clients a portrait session is a moment to pause and see themselves from a new perspective. While my primary focus is portrait and personal photography, I also produce corporate imagery with a clear, narrative visual style to support company communications.
