There’s something exquisite and ethereal about bridal portraits in Winter. I wish I could photograph the snow all year round when I am given the opportunity to photograph like this!

Brother and Sister

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!

Lucky Number 28

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!

Preview: Beautiful Snowy Family Session in Kirkkonummi

January 5, 2010 | Filed Under Client | 3 Comments

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!

Maternity On A Frozen Lake

With such a beautiful family, I couldn’t resist taking them out to my favorite lake. And although it is the first day of Spring, that lake looks like it will br frozen solid for several more weeks. It was great to be able to do a maternity again!

Here’s your sneak peak, P and M!

A Lovely Couple Outside Bostontown

These two were a lovely couple and brought their sweet family to be photographed on a crisp Winter day. But I couldn’t let them go without a quick shot without the kids. I can’t wait to return and finish processing their family shots!

A Sweet 1 Year Old and Her Beautiful Parents

She was so sweet – lots of smiles and definitely an outgoing and energetic little girl. And mom and dad were perfect – a joy to work with and willing to move furniture, jump up and down, or hide behind a corner so I can get that perfect smile.

For me, this session was a treat! I always welcome the chance to do indoor sessions – it’s wonderful to shoot in a location where baby is safe and comfortable and where she has all her toys. But also, it means a lot since homes may change and this is a memory of life at this time and at this house. Anyone who has a child knows how soon life changes as a child grows older.
