A wonderful shoot with such a great couple! I love that they are so different and fun.

When Gary asked me to do his promo pictures, he described his music as being very blue-collar in the vein of Springsteen. I knew immediately the perfect location: a factory on the outskirts of town. Unfortunately for us, it began to snow quite heavily and was cold – -12. But Gary was a trooper and I had enough weather protection gear to get out at least one full lighting rig for the shoot. And even better, my fingers did unthaw later that evening and I could use them again! Big thanks to Gary for braving the cold that night.

I took a trip up to Hameenlinna this week to photograph this brother and sister team. We even captured some magical images in the crisp snow after the indoor shots. There’s something spectacular about January – cold but beautiful!
Here’s a sneak peek!

He wasn’t interested in letting us pose him much – but when you’re this cute, you get to call the shots!

I had over 125 entries for the Winter free session offer I ran last month. Using a randomizer, number 28 was drawn and I’ve contacted the winner to book the session. I’m looking forward to sharing those images later next month.
Thanks to everyone who sent in an entry!

It is so incredibly beautiful right now – more snow than Finland has seen in 40 years has meant white dusted forests and soft blue skies. And what a sweet family to shoot! These are four quick preview images – I can’t wait to go through the rest of the session!
I love the moment here – everyone having fun together. I have more formal images, of course, but this one just speaks to me!

Back in August, I gave a preview of a very special session I was hired to shoot in Ireland. I am now pleased to share more images from the magical location of the Irish West Coast: Cork.
This is the very beautiful and very in love Melody and Scott.

Most would consider the numerous paper factories of SouthEastern Finland to be a blot on the horizon. But with the help of a few lights, a very talented make up artist, and a two lovely models, it can become a whole new world.
From a shoot fairly close to the Finno-Russo border. This is the first model of the day, Nelli Sorvo (I will share Hanna’s images in the next post), and makeup/styling by the very talented (and wonderful to work with) Lotta Eloranta. And with special thanks working with fellow photographer Derek Latham during the day. I can’t wait to see his images as well and give big thanks for letting me work in his side of the country!
