There is nothing like a wedding client coming back for a newborn shoot. 
It’s always enriching to watch the shift in the mood of the shoot. Tenderness replaces wilderness… Peace replaces energy… I especially enjoy witnessing how the new responsibility makes all of the weddings clients more mature, regardless their age and previous experience. There is something about the saying that people with children and people without children feel sorry for each other. Those truly are two completely different worlds… I hope you will like today’s image load created in the comfortable and soft grey environment of my clients’ home. Happy Monday! ♥♥♥

From one of my recent newborn sessions. What an adorable little bunny… Despite the darkest times of the year, we got very lovely results! Many thanks for her invaluable help to Irene (my right and left hand and my consciousness!). ♥♥♥
PS: Don’t forget, to win a free session with me, read the do’s and don’t of my new contest Pin to Win!
Just images today – I should sleep once in a while.
But you know there is nothing like photographing a newborn princess … pure perfection and look at the tiny impeccable nose! ♥♥♥
There are moments to just stop and enjoy.
Such sweet and fleeting moments … when the little one first grabs your finger, when he smiles, when he gazes in your eyes while breastfeeding, when he hears you call his name.
Or such moments of satisfaction as when the pee and poo load for once lands on my amazing assistent Irene and not on me. 
They came, we shot, they left. We all love the images. Don’t you? (Let me tell you a secret – this little bub will be loooooooooooooved.)
Happy Friday and Thanksgiving weekend to you all – tell me what are you grateful for today? ♥♥♥
Zzzzzzzz – electrical signal rushing through wires, pulses flying through the air. A long distance phone call:
“… so either we end this or we get married.”
Silence.
While a computer can make enormous amount of calculations in a split of a second, a human brain can deal with only as much. But a human brain has one huge advantage over any computer – a beating heart not far away. And so a computer would be calculating all the odds of a success for a marriage of two people that have known each other too short time, who live on different continents, who are from different backgrounds and cultures and who are very young. A human brain would be calculating all of the above and ON TOP OF THAT a human brain would follow the invisible watch, because an answer to such question should not take too long.

and boom, you are busted for not answering fast enough.
The answer in that particular phone call was yes, as it is self-evident from the photos below (I consider it rather hard, if not nearly impossible, to make babies over the phone). And so I am the lucky lottery winner here – it was such a pleasure to photograph this little bub, his older sister and parents. Thank you, it was a beautiful morning we spent together! ♥♥♥

Newborn photography – or vauvakuvaus – is one of the sweetest things on Earth – I feel so blessed! ♥♥♥
Mixtape Monday – About parenting
10/10/2011
Few years ago I came home from the hospital thinking: my little one is so adorable, smells heavenly, makes your heart melt, makes you cry with happiness, makes everyone around go all: cuuuute …
Yep, newborns are like that.
They don’t stay that way, though.
It gets better.
(But sometimes it gets harder too.. Like when they get their own will…)
In the moments of both joy and dispair, I enjoy reading the daily bits of (sometimes completely crazy) advice from enjoyparenting.com - try it…
As you all know what I also enjoy is photographing newborns. This little lady was so adorable (and her mummy so stressed about how the shoot was going to go). But all went really well, the baby girl slept and slept and smiled and slept some more and with the grand help of my assistent Irene, we were done in just under two hours. People, who have been through a newborn shoot, know that this is quite an achievement (me proud, me proud!).
Mummy cried when she saw the photos (and I cried when I saw her crying, I am such a emotion junkie). It was a beautiful experience ♥♥♥
Enjoy your Monday! And book one of the last fall mini sessions timeslots!
