Ylioppilaskuvaus – Graduation Portraits In Finland

admin — Mon, 09 May 2011 20:24:15 +0000

I have to admit, I love doing graduation portraits. Having teens as subjects allows me to let loose and really have fun with a session. But more importantly, it gives me a chance to introduce modern graduation portraits in a country still using a 60+ year old style for many session. It’s time to shake up the teen portraits and really show the unique personality and character of the 21st century Finnish graduate!

I’m happy to play with both the old and the new: the traditional white and black graduation cap in a timeless Finnish setting. In this case, a location in the lovely city of Kauniainen.

It is melting fast – these are the last of the Winter pictures now that the snow has just left in the last few days. Welcome to Spring, Helsinki!

Perfect match for a sunset at the lake.

Ah, soon she turns 6. Every year gets better and better.

We’ve had a warm spell for a week – but not enough to melt the hard ice in the lakes, fortunately.

Finding Dry Moments Between the Rain

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. For this little session, we shot in 10 minute bursts and then ran madly back to the safety of the car when the rain returned!
