The good thing about cloudless days in Winter is that I can catch all that beautiful dramatic color of the sunset. The bad thing is that it means the temperature will have dropped severely without the cloud cover to keep the warmth on the Earth. But one to two days is just fine with me!

A break in the rain this afternoon meant a lovely sunset for once – even if it is at 3:30 in the afternoon. These were all shot around various lakes in Kirkkonummi.

I LOVE taking portraits in the snow. I wish more people wanted their pictures done this time of the year – so very Finnish and so incredibly beautiful and pure looking.

Still raining constantly – but nothing that can’t be solved by a good umbrella.
It’s rained nearly constantly for three weeks now – but even on the rainiest days, there are 10-15 minutes when the sky momentarily stops pouring and we can run out and do quick pictures and feed the ducks.

This was an opportunity to break out my reflectors and 24mm lens and be creative. I had the sun for the first half of the shoot but it disappeared behind clouds all too soon. And someone was in a patriotic mood this afternoon.

We were on vacation in the Mikkeli area most of the week and dropped in to Heinola area for lunch on the trip up. It’s one of my favorite cities – rural but with so much history. I especially love the ancient oak lined esplanade along the central lake area. First, the black and whites. … Read More
This is a late evening shoot at Hvittrask. The sun was peeping out from behind the clouds at odd moments – but the lighting was bright enough for wonderful shots.
