You remember my favorite speech? “Love actually is all around.” If you just arrived to a low point of belief in love (& selflessness & humanity), sit at the play-park bench and watch the mothers. Yes, there might be occasional bitter remark about the hardship of motherhood, but all you will see if you really look is the love. Because 99% of a mother is an enormous heart (and the remaining 1% is Swedish steel). Huge, supernonplusultrahuge thanks to…

Mixtape Monday: About being present | 1v-kuvaus
The online world is really just a jungle of narrow twisting alleys, through which the information sometimes travels at speed of light and sometimes it takes years to reach you. I am sure you all have seen this clip, but I just found it on the interweb yesterday – and it had a profound effect on me. Watch it now and let’s talk about it! In 2010 at the MoMa, Marina Abramovic performed ‘The Artist Is Present’. As part of…

The forgotten god | perhekuvaus
Ever happened to you that you wanna show off? Nah, I bet it hasn’t if you have even an ounce of Finnish blood. I don’t have the smallest drop. And so when meeting this boy I liked, I wanted to show off and started telling him how I tended to our dog lady when she was giving birth to her lil ones. And how the last puppy was born dead. (Come to think of it, I am not very certain…

Mixtape Monday: They’ve got it all | perhekuvaus
Past weekend we watched with my lil ones the Princess and the Frog once more – I love the jazz flavor – I enjoyed it tremendously. Oh, and it’s funny too. Spoiler alert… if you have yet to watch it, beware spoilers ahead. Half way through the movie there is a song where Tiana, prince Naveen and the alligator Louis all sing about what is going to happen when they become human again. It’s a song about dreams,…

3 musts to mark in your calendar this spring | perhekuvaus
Lapsimessut 2013 26.-28.4.2013 Back and forth, I was swinging between the desire to participate and the desire to have a long warm sunny weekend (if Mother Nature grants us spring this year). Because long warm, sunny and lazy weekends filled with love are always in shortage, aren’t they? And then a quick decision (somewhat detached from my body and soul) was made and I am gonna be in Lapsimessut the stand no. 6e120. This year there are some exciting things…

Mixtape Monday: Sorry for all the f-words, I said | lapsikuvaus
Ever get emotional when you driving a car alone? Punching the steering wheel, laughing like a madman, singing out loud? I do. (And I know you do too, sometimes.) Driving from a shoot today, I was (slightly) speeding, all impatient and wanting to see the belly images we photographed. (They are beautiful and I will show them to you as soon as the client sees them. ) On Kehä II it suddenly dawned on me that I should thank my…

Mixtape Monday: About friendship | perhekuvaus
A week ago I was sitting in the second last row of the theater Palace in Prague tremendously enjoying the play Kutloch by Kristof Magnusson (in English that would be The Gaff, originally Männerhort). In fact, I was laughing so hard that I was worrying if I’ll ever be able to relax my face again. You know when you have cramps in the muscles on your cheekbones? That funny! And I was sitting next to one of my best friends….

Need help to survive through the rest of winter? | lapsikuvaus
I know I promised you some more baby photos of that gorgeous baby girl with the longest eyelashes in the world – but before that let us celebrate the beauty-full season that winter knows to be. Since I came back from my short (and much wonderful, thank you everyone!) weekend miniholiday, it’s been snowing, snowing and snowing and right now outside it’s wonder, wonder, wonder. Yet most of the people are so ready for spring … and the first signs…

Everyone! I am one! | lapsikuvaus
I had a good feeling about our session, when I entered my clients’ home for a pre-consultation and first thing I laid my eyes on was a ceiling-tall shelf full of stilettos. And then, guided unmistakeably by my picky nose, I headed directly to the kitchen where there were freshly baked Dallas pullat on the table. I casted a quick look on the Mistress of the house and saw slight amusement in her eyes – amusement and also consent. Somehow…
