The Anemone

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 07:09:20 +0000

Spring in Finland is especially known for the forests being blanketed with white anemone flowers. For me, it means it is time to shoot the Spring line of Tinttu.com clothing.

For Photographers: Big Picture Workshop: Europe

admin — Wed, 02 May 2012 14:25:48 +0000

I am very pleased to announce the dates for the once-yearly Big Picture Workshop: Europe in Helsinki, Finland. This is my personal workshop, limited to only a handful of individuals, and featuring all the beauty of where I call home.

The workshop is 2 intense days, starting at my studio in a suburb outside of Helsinki and traveling to some of my favorite locations. I’ll have fields, farms, forests, and some urban – as well as full instruction in workflow and post processing.

Of course, I’ll have my 9 year old as one of our featured models.

I greatly welcomed a bohemian themed shoot in the awakening Finnish forest this weekend. There is only scattered snow in shaded areas left and the blueberry bushes are just starting to bud and open.

A Senior Session (teen) on the Naples Coast

admin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:02:30 +0000

We found the perfect beach to shoot this lovely teen – even midday with full sun the views and backdrops were spectacular. She was a good sport as well – able to relax and just enjoy the session despite a chill on a cool February day.

Sweetest Downtown Maternity

This was the sweetest couple – so friendly and very much in love. They made it such a pleasure to spend an hour photographing their special connection. As a bonus, we were able to shoot in lovely downtown Naples, Florida.

Yoga In The Jungle

I loved this particular location outside Naples, Florida. Lots of native and natural growth and plenty of full, florida sun. This session was a bit different for me – capturing the peacefulness and repose of yoga with a beautiful bride-to-be.

Gorgeous Maternity In A Florida Jungle

I found myself enjoying the hospitality and had a chance to do some sessions on the gulf side of the State. We avoided alligators, spiders, bears, snakes, and a host of interesting flora and fauna. But ah, what a beautiful State to photograph a lovely maternity.
