Sunset portraits

My sister. And what a beautiful location we found just before the sunset. Canon 24-70L f2.8 lens, natural light.

Spring portraits

Spring is finally here! This is my beautiful niece :)

Website updated

Website updated :). www.elinamanninen.com.

New products: coffee table books! Have a look at 'products & services'. I will get photos of them on my blog in the near future. Smaller ones are perfect for child/baby/family sessions and bigger ones for weddings! Also old customers - I probably still have your photos so if you want to order books from previous sessions that is also possible.

Also - my canvases are even more beautiful, laminated with a 40mm wood frame.

I'm now booking May, June, July, August. Note: I will be on holidays 3 weeks in July, so book your session times in good time to guarantee your time for summer to create those beautiful summery portraits & wedding memories.

I'm so excited about getting a new logo and website, can't wait :).

My little one

My little one with her old play camera. Very rarely this happens :). Usually she says: 'Mum, put your camera away'. And then I usually do :). 

Meet me at 16 :)

Heh, this is me at 16 (not even going to think what year it was...). Taken with my first film slr, Cosina CT-1. Totally manual slr that I bought with my own money and with that little camera I learned my basics with slr's. I had a zoom lens (can't remember which one) and a flash. After school I went to a local darkroom to develop my b&w images. My sister was my model (my only one), who had to put up with all kinds of stupid things. My second camera was Nikon F301. I had a zoom (up to 70mm), a 60mm and a 24mm, a flash and a tripod.
