When was the last one you saw someone who stepped out of the glossy mag’s pages? Out of the latest ad on Gaultier dress or Dior perfume? Well, doesn’t happen to me every day, so I just gasped when I saw this young lady. I could not believe she is going to be my model 
You are gorgeous and perfect and beautiful and … my English is not sufficient! Sending you love! Plus a few pics…
And so it is that mere chance brought in front of my camera the most beautiful young ladies you can find in the whole Helsinki and a surrounding universe. Since this young woman in particular was a joy to work with, I really hope to see her through my viewfinder again. Can you imagine why? 
Because she is so much fun. A classic beauty. Because she owns a pair of kind eyes. And a radiant smile. Not to mention that my camera loves her. It started making the “click click” noise already in the bag when this miss walked through the door. Thank you for an amazing shoot filled with your own ideas and thank you for being such a natural supermodel. Oh and you should know that I secretly nicknamed you The Feminine Essence
Third time the charm, here another serving from the boudoir marathon I shot on Easter Monday. I cannot believe another month just flew away like this *snapping fingers*. Where is time for all the stuff I always plan to do? At least I proceed forward with the boudoir edits, today I would like to present you an old friend of mine, who I have known for unbelievable 11 years. Despite us not keeping in touch regularly, it felt like we just stopped talking yesterday! Though I acquired a hubby and two offsprings along the way somehow… You are still the same and I love you just the way you are! Let’s catch up for a chat and a coffee before we are in our early forties Hauskaa Vappua kaikille!
You are an angel…
… and a devil …
… you are beautiful …
… and I love you just the way you are!
This young lady has the smoothest skin I have ever seen in reality. And I can still hear her voice from the moment we met: “I am a normal girl from Helsinki, a bit camera shy, but with a little help I am sure we are going to get some beautiful photos.” So we did! You were much fun to work with, and the camera loves you. Here’s the proof
You were like a chameleon, perfect model material! Different from every angle, a dream to work with, thank you
Me and kids left for holidays at my parents almost 3 weeks ago. Did you notice there have not been any updates and new posts? I promise to flood you now The holidays were great, thanx for asking. I would have died if it wasn’t for the volcano situation, because my sucky-rainy 1 week holidays were prolonged by seven beautiful sunny, warm and spring loaded days! And as we were missing Da Man, we decided not to rely on ash-wind lucky combination and we travelled by cars and ferries through Germany, Denmark and Sweden. The trip took us mere 4 days, but it has been much fun. We love travelling and the kids don’t hate it, what a win-win situation Pics will follow, but for now let me introduce you to this young beautiful lady, one of the Easter bunnies. You are stunning and I loved working with you!
I cannot resist. I know it’s a bad blog post title for a boudoir shoot, but what would you name it if you shot boudoir on Easter Monday?
This is just a quick sneak peek for you, my awesome, funny and smokin’ hot ladies who I had the honor to spend the afternoon with. Thank you!
And this is my beautiful, talented and oh so absolutely sweet friend, a make-up artist and hair-dresser who helped us look just a tad more glamorous than on your usual Easter Monday
And many thanks to my assistent Irenka, who saves me from hunger, missing items and who I generally could not live without. Our gratitude also to hotel Haven for providing us with a cosy enviroment of their suite. I had a blast!
This goes out to all of you who like the words “sensual, elegant, sexy” and want to surprise that special someone with a not exactly traditional gift. Forget about cake, dinner, candles, a movie, a spa weekend, flowers, a bed covered with rose petals and who-knows-what-else. Or don’t! But add to the mixture something more than water, or even champagne: add the sassy photos that we are going to create together! The element of surprise is at the bottom of every successful seduction.
I am proudly announcing the 31st of January 2010 as Boudoir Sunday. In the classy and intimate atmosphere of a carefully selected elegant hotel, you will feel like a Hollywood star, pampered and treated with champagne, chocolate and a photographer dedicated to creating those stunningly sexy images of yourself that you have always wanted.
For 250 euros you get 3 images on a CD and a set of three business card-sized pictures for his, her or your wallet.
Take advantage of the January sales and buy yourself something really nice to wear. (There doesn’t have to be much!) Bring those high heels with you. But first of all, send me an email and reserve a time from among the 15 spots available – before Boudoir Sunday is fully booked.
