I define Finnish weather forecast with one word – reliable. In summer, you can rely on it being almost always right. In winter, you can rely on the fact that whatever it says it is never sunny and nice. Mostly during winter the forecast promises clouds today and tomorrow and sunshine in about 3 days time. Every day. So you always have a little hope that in three days it won’t be so depressing 
Ok, enough raving about the sophisticated science of weather forecasting. When my father visited Finland during summer I asked Kati to swap family sessions. And though I really wanted to photograph Kati with her whole family, we ended up just the four of us – Kati, her daughter, me and my whining and completely unhappy son. Of course they promised sunny weather. Of course it was cloudy and gloomy. But we photographed anyway.
Meet Kati, a fellow photographer, beautiful, independent and successful woman, great mother and a good friend. And with her daughter they also make gorgeous models. 
(more photos coming!) When I grow up, I want to be you, Kati.
