Emma In Spring

We photographed Emma near her grandmother’s house in Espoo this weekend. It was a beautiful Spring day – full of warm and wonderful sunshine even if the snow has far from melted.

Musician Promo Images: Guitarist Gary Law

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:35:41 +0000

When Gary asked me to do his promo pictures, he described his music as being very blue-collar in the vein of Springsteen. I knew immediately the perfect location: a factory on the outskirts of town. Unfortunately for us, it began to snow quite heavily and was cold – -12. But Gary was a trooper and I had enough weather protection gear to get out at least one full lighting rig for the shoot. And even better, my fingers did unthaw later that evening and I could use them again! Big thanks to Gary for braving the cold that night.

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!

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

admin — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 17:02:15 +0000

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

admin — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 20:02:29 +0000

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.
