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,…

Mixtape Monday: Just one | vauvakuvaus
The smiley little boy at today’s session was a fantastic proof of the 7 months worth of chubbiness a.k.a. at that age we all need well padded knees ♥♥♥ PS: proper post blog tonight/tomorrowning And a Monday song for you … goldie oldie that makes my editing full of sun despite the snowdrift behind my window.

Mixtape Monday: I don’t dread Finnish winters | perhekuvaus
“Why not,” I actually said out loud when paying for my regular latte at the Caffi shop in Sello and so I grabbed the cd labelled Family Christmas on its blue paper cover. Without hesitation I loaded the cd in the car and off I drove to yet another snow storm with the most classic pieces blasting from loudspeakers. And while I was paying full attention to the traffic and road conditions, on the waves of music my mind wondered…

Mixtape Monday: The defect is not in your receiver …
Your computer is fine (and shall remain so as long as you will keep it away from highly humid place or direct sunlight). It’s my mistake, I had little time to write a blog post last week… though there were many thoughts to be shared. I will attempt to do so today. Haavoittuneet enkelit is a project dear to my heart and soul. It has brought many possibilities for me to pay forward. I was honored to photograph the Sydänlapset…

Mixtape Monday: About Iitu | Haavoittuneet enkelit perhekuvaus
Haavoittuneet enkelit … I have felt so blessed with my life, I just wanted to have an outlet how to give back/pay forward. Little did we (me and my fantastic HE colleagues Juhana Stolt, Oka Morikawa and Lotta Huvinen) know about the actual work ahead. How fulfilling and demanding it is to photograph seriously ill children and their families. We concentrated on the logo, on the processes, on this and that … unrelated. This is reality: With Iitu’s mum we…

Mixtape Monday: Are you passing down your art? | perhekuvaus
A brief perhekuvaus regard from the post-Italian coma before I dive into the huge pile of work. As a member of the International Evening of Kameraseura, the Helsinki club for photo-enthusiasts who want to speak English, I am challenged on a regular basis with fun assignments that my friends come up with. The recent was to choose 1 (one) meaningful image we took this summer. But summer this year only happened in Italy … I was on holidays and that…

Mixtape Monday: About the annual visit of Raasepori medieval fair | valokuvaus
I don’t even remember how we found out about the Raseborg medieval fair and tournament couple of years ago, but I know we ain’t gonna miss it when it’s happening. It’s one of the summer milestones, together with tractor day and Hyvinkää railway museum days. We enjoy all of them a lot. Keskiaikamarkkinat turnaijsten kera Raaseporissa usually happen the second weekend of July, both on Saturday and Sunday and are a join collaboration of Finnish RAMS and Swedish Celeres Nordica.You…

Mixtape Monday: And that’s how it’s done
Today just a pullback from one shoot we had at the complex and diverse Mustikkasaari couple of weeks ago. As always much gratitude to the clients for being open minded (we had loads of crazy ideas!) and awesome. And to Anne, the gifted and talented stylist Anne … you are the gold and honey and a wonderful person. Love ya! I have a busy week with 5 perhaps 6 shoots ahead (depending on one baby’s timing) and so I was…

Mixtape Monday – About driving with the windows open | Vauvakuvaus
I should count how many blog posts really start with me stating that I am so blessed with my job. Not only I get to meet wonderful people, not only I get to hold fresh babies and photograph the happiness they bring to their families, I get to drive around Finland and get to know this green, vast, peaceful country like I never did before. When we were driving out to photograph this family, me and Ireneke (the Baby Whisperer)…

Mixtape Monday: About my birthday
Now, how do I feel in this fine morning? Same same. No different than any other day. A little melancholic, yes, but that only lasted till S-sized monsters started their first morning fight. And I want to count my blessings. Health. Family. Living my dreams. Feeling scared, all the time, about the decision (because it makes you try more). Feeling free and happy (because it makes you smile more). Friends! Amazing clients (because they enable the living the dream part)….
