It’s been more than a year since getting my printed materials (pricelists and flyers and such) and I found myself being highly bored with it. Make no mistake, I love my materials, but while they are new for my clients, they quickly become very old news for me. And I like to keep things new and exciting. Except – I don’t want to throw things away, especially made of paper. Also with the busy spring, I didn’t quite find the…

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…

About critique, shame and vulnerability…
Recently I posted this photo as my Facebook timeline cover image. xx people facebook-liked it, maybe some really-liked it. I got a comment to this image disagreeing with its quality. This image shall not withstand the passing of time, I was told. Because of the giant bow. The comment was meant well and I replied in a good manner to it. However this is my business Facebook page and so I went to a photography forum to ask, what to…

Transform you digital images into joy: Frames
Long have I been an advocate of printing your images. Yes, we live in a digital world and nowadays very rarely customers ask whether or not they can buy the digital files as well. I believe (I hope) that photographers sitting on their digital files (edited, always edited) and not allowing the clients to have them – that is a song of the past. Of course you can buy digital files from me! And what more you can buy only…

Porcupine’s Diary: A tribute to Finnish spring
(Chapter 1 of the porcupine’s diary) Today we tackle some more questions and answers … with few portraits of one very lovely young lady. Now to the business: Monika I: “What kind of camera should I buy?” Niki: “What do you want do with it? In general though, the golden rule is – a new piece of technology is not going to make your photography better. You being out there photograping every day, studying the light and studying books and…

Amazons with cameras: Jill Healey | Lapsikuvaus
Today I would like to share a secret with you. The Finnish wedding photographers are bunch of great people, who generally, instead of competing, prefer fellowship and cooperation. That is very unique. The same applies for Finnish family and children photographers. We might not meet for weekly coffee, as we all are fighting our private battles with what at times seems like twelve-headed dragons, but we keep each other in mind. But I am a social, very social person (some…
