Midsummer Dog Sports Festival 2024
Make your experience better with quality photography
May I be your photographer?
My name is Tiia, and I am a professional Finnish dog photographer. I have been photographing for years, but about five years ago, I switched from horses to dogs and haven’t regretted it for a single day! However, I’m a bit of a rare case as a dog photographer because I have never owned a dog! Definitely someday, though!
I am honored to offer you easy but amazing photo sessions during the most incredible dog event of the year: Agifest. These sessions will combine all the awesomeness of this event: the Finnish midsummer with its nightless night, the beautiful and green lakeside location, and of course, you, who have chosen to spend the Midsummer with dogs! I couldn’t agree more!
My style as a dog photographer is natural and realistic, yet harmonious. I am an expert at getting good photos of dogs who don’t stay still or ‘never pose for the camera’. The same goes for the owner – I always recommend taking photos together with your dog! These are the memories you will cherish for years to come.
So how does that sound? I am offering a few different options, so scroll a bit further and explore which one would suit you best.
Packages to choose from
Mini sessions
Don’t have time for a long photo session? Don’t worry – I have an easy option for you! 15-minute mini sessions to save the day (and time)! These sessions are available on Saturday – there will be times available in the morning (between 7 and 10 am) and in the evening (between 4 and 10 pm), in three different photo shoot locations!
Believe it or not, 15 minutes is more than enough to capture a few lovely photos of you and your dog! The photo above the title was taken during a 10-minute mini session, and look how wonderful it turned out! For these sessions, I scout the locations beforehand, so I usually have a vision in mind already. Then we just add you and your dogs to that vision and voilà – amazing photos are done!

Examples of my work
My photography style is natural and realistic, yet harmonious. I love the evening sun and evenings altogether! In natural settings, I often use backlighting (with the light source behind the model) to create fairytale-like photos. I don’t do heavy editing, but dogs can be leashed during the session, and the leash will be edited out in the final image.
Keywords:
natural – sunlight – aesthetic – harmonious – relaxed – sharp – atmospheric – backlighting – sunset – embracing Finnish nature – location visible
More than digital memories?
In addition to digital photos, I offer a wide variety of wall art, photo albums, and smaller photo items. Products are delivered worldwide.
What better way to remember your unique summer than with beautiful, museum-quality wall art to hang on your walls? I can’t think of anything better.
