This beautiful family was a referral from a wonderful client in 2010 – I was so pleased to meet them. Both children were so well behaved and perfect models for our family shoot!
Today, I thought it would be fun to do a shoot that really showed just how beautiful Finland is in Winter. If I could design a postcard of an amazing Winter wonderland, then these are what I’d submit as the artwork. Presenting a 9 year old Finnish girl, her reindeer, a book on antique Finnish… Read More
It took half the Winter, but we finally saw snowfall here in Helsinki. The light and scenery is so exquisite this time of year. Soft and light and lovely. We’re fortunate to have a mild Winter – not too cold for tea parties with friends!

The warm Spring sun means that although there is the white stuff still on the ground, it is warm enough to bring out the Summer clothes. Of course, with that much golden sun out there, I’m going to take advantage of it! I… Read More
The weather is finally starting to warm up in Helsinki and I had a chance to shoot a lovely couple at the Seurasaari outdoor museum in Helsinki.
