The hairy family + 1 | raskausajan kuvaus
When a woman tells me that she is going to be late for our meeting because she has a beauty appointment, my stereotypical mind puts her in the city-girl department. I certainly would not expect someone who lives in the countryside, has two dogs, three cats and three horses. Own stables and all. Snappy and judgmental, but it happens to you too? Right? And that despite me being a firm believer that every woman deserves an occasional beauty treatment and…
What’s a mother made of? | Äitienpäivä
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: The humming stories | raskausajankuvaus
I was freezing despite the sharp sunshine but no wonder, the wind was swinging our gondola and the 15 minutes drive to the 3000m mountain peak felt in -23 C like hours. I didn’t want to appear as if eavesdropping on the conversation my two German fellow travelers were leading, so I closed my eyes and rested my head on the vibrating window. The humming multiplied and resonated inside my helmet and when I listened very carefully I could hear…
Mixtape Monday: A bit of everything and a handful portraits of a wonderful baby girl | vastasyntyneen kuvaus
Between my dear-dearer-dearest’s trips to the European metropolises, he took the whole family on a “romantic” miniholiday to Kuopio. He was to work and we were to ski in the Tahko resort. A bit of skiing is something I rarely say no to, and so it was agreed and sealed. We loaded the car with downhill, cross-country and skating equipment, which left just enough space for the kids and toothbrushes. And off we were, with a mere 45 min delay…
I can’t wait … | odotusajankuvaus
I can’t wait to photograph your baby. All your babies. All the babies. Small, big and furry too. 2012 has been extremely generous to me. I hope, dear 2013, that you will be even better. You might even throw in an occasional babe. ♥♥♥
Whispering (it must be a secret…) | perhekuvaus
A quick look out of the window before hasty departure, sunny – yes, windy – a little. Sweater, hat, keys, car keys – check. Off to pick up the lil ones. Off to try to sparkle a conversation about their day, to find out that (hopefully) they were not bullied, that they felt loved, happy and successful. Must not think about it too much. Enough grey hair … On the way back we agree in the car to stop over…
Mixtape Monday: About wrong choice of words | raskausajankuvaus
Bzzzz. Bzzzz. My phone vibrates on the table. “Niki?” I answer. Why do I always have to answer with a question mark behind my name, dammit. “I heard you take belly pictures?” a husky voice asks. We met at 3pm on a sunny afternoon at Stockmann to discuss all the details of her shoot. It should be a surprise for her husband (not a problem). She would like to get rather nude images (not a problem). Oh and they just…
A dream come true | vauvakuvaus

Watch her blog – more images coming soon! make up in both sessions: Maria Karhu assistent at the newborn session / vauvakuvaus: Blanka Tiainen And as I wrote in the comments under Mrs. V post: “I know that Mrs. V has been telling it’s all about my “taika” (and a little bit about their newborn…
The truth about the imperfection of my character | raskausajankuvaus
Disclaimer: This blog post is about noone in particular, yet it is about every woman who ever trashed a wonderful photo of herself and people she loves because she wasn’t satisfied with her looks. The moment we found our seats in the plane, our children started quarreling who is going to sit by the window. “But you always sit there,” exclaimed my daughter when she confiscated the window seat. “I just want to sit there for the take-off,” cried my…
About a sweet newborn boy | vauvakuvaus
This is the happy result that proud parents got at the end of the nine months process. We captured some memories when this little bub was still in the belly as you might remember. It was such a fun morning (despite the 5 fleet of stairs and no elevator). There will be more of this vauvakuvaus / newborn session coming soon! ♥♥♥
