'Klunk'

'Klunk' is what I heard when when I was taking this photo and the mirror inside my 5d fell off....quite a common problem with the original 5d but wasn't very nice when it happened, especially when I had the next 2 days booked with clients. But all ok and fixed now, thanks to JAS tekniikka here in Helsinki.

Behind the scenes...

This is the end result...

...and this is what actually happened :)

Thank you for these images Jani! (two last photos by Jani Heino)

"I do"

This cute couple got married on a beautiful, sunny friday afternoon. I was so lucky to photograph their big day. All the best for the future!

Studio news

I now have a great studio space I can use if needed. Have a look at Elina Simonen's website and you'll see what I mean! She's one of the best fashion photographers in Finland.

Portrait display

This is how Karen (www.joybykarenbuckle.com.au) displayed her portraits! Have a look at her blog. We swopped portrait sessions a little while back and these are my photos of her family. I have to print mine as well and hang them on the wall!! Just haven't had time yet after the move back to Finland...

Me...

This is me, photographed by Kati Molin (www.katimolin.com).

From our freezing cold photo session the other week :)

The cutest newborn

There will be a few more but I had to put this first one up for the parents to see! She's so cute. 2 weeks old.

Lisaan tanne viela muutaman kuvan, mutta laitoin taman ensimmaisen heti nahtaville vanhempia varten! Niin sopo, 2 viikkoa vanha!

Kati

We had such a fun afternoon doing these! It was cold and we had to go and have a cup of coffee in the middle of the shoot...
This is Kati Molin, a very talented photographer (www.katimolin.com).

I have now updated all the information on my website regarding Finland! If there's any questions please ask. I will have my site on english because I also work overseas -- if you have any problems with language please give me a call in that case as well :).

I'm also working at Bebes, a maternity store in Helsinki (www.bebesmaternity.com) so I might be there when you pop in.

Also, I will probably have a discount for people who come to the baby expo in Helsinki in April! Look up the Bebes stand for more information.

Meilla oli tosi hauska iltapaiva kun kuvasimme naita! Oli kylma ja piti juoda kupillinen kahviakin valilla...
