I am booking up quicker this year for Autumn sessions.  I have limited availability on weekends and I’m completely booked from October 15 through November 15 for Christmas sessions.   If you’d like an Autumn session in Finland, I recommend booking as soon as possible to ensure better choices for dates/times.

She will likely draw many references to a certain Harry Potter heroine, but this young lady has a loveliness all her own.  This shoot was taken mid day in full sun – a challenge for a fair haired girl in black.  But even in late Autumn, when all the leaves have fallen, a photographer can use the light reflecting off a large river to her advantage to really showcase the sweet beauty of a lovely young woman.

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.  Most were taken in the rain – long before the sun peeked out later in the day.

The train trestle – a site every Heinola resident knows well.

And later, the sun finally came out for us.  These are at an area where a river turns into fast rapids.

And, of course, all that glorious fall color

This was under a train trestle – the new route linking Lahti to Helsinki.  There was the most exquisite light down there.

And now, back to proofing last week’s sessions!
