About
Merja has been capturing perfect moments with her camera for the past 30 years.
She discovered her first camera – an old one that belonged to her grandfather – at a very young age. It was love at first sight.
Travelling the world for seven years while working as a model and collaborating with some of the best talents in fashion photography became the perfect education for the profession she practices today.
Beyond photography, she has a deep love for paper – the look, feel, and even the smell of it. In 2013, she co-founded the lifestyle magazine Kidd.O, followed by WOWeddings Lovestyle Magazine in 2025. Creating every page has been a fantastic journey, allowing her to learn how to build a magazine from scratch rather than contributing only a small part of the content, as is often the case.
She has also written and/or photographed four books. Her latest passion is layout design.
Merja is currently based in Helsinki, Finland.
