Just turned one I Lapsikuvaaja Helsinki








Just turned one :). After the outdoor session that I shared earlier we came inside to get a portrait of this little one. It is getting a bit cool outside so outdoors we go if the weather permits it. Otherwise inside. Either one is ok by me :).

I spent yesterday learning to navigate Tumblr where we'll put up my new blog. So still using this old blog but in the near future I will change to my new one called Blue Bellybutton (can be found on facebook at facebook.com/bluebellybutton. So you can already like it and the facebook group I have will disappear and not be used anymore. So a big thank you to my designer Pedro Reis (from Silo) who is not just making a new website for me but more teaching me how the whole process should work. And slowly I have learned new stuff and changed the way I do things for the better. So stuff is happening behind the scenes and as soon as the new blog/website is ready I will let you know :).

Have a good autumn afternoon :) xxx

Silo 3x11, Our Day On Earth I Valokuvaaja Helsinki


 Have you ever heard of the One Day on Earth project? Where people around the world document the day of 11.11.11 (last year it was 10.10.10) and then all the material will be made into one film?

On that day, for 24 hours as well, my designer Pedro Reis and my husband Jyri Manninen are organising an event (and documenting it and sending it to One Day on Earth) -- check out www.silo.is/coming/ and www.facebook.com/silo.is and read more about it! It will be live online but also at Hub Helsinki in person. I will also be there photographing (maybe not quite for 24 hours straight :) ) so I will share more about then!

Kiss books - Leather! I Valokuvaaja Helsinki








Aren't they beautiful and simple :). After a long search I finally found my favourite this year - KISS books. In one of my previous posts I already had a few shots of the linen cover version (here) and this is a black leather cover book in 20x20cm.

The reason I like these books and chose them was the simplicity - leather or linen, a beautiful set of colours to choose from, well packaged, quick delivery from the US, the best quality, photographic print (no low quality digital print here!). Leather cover books have sturdy hard pages and linen cover book has softer pages but same quality photographic print. And they all get delivered in these cute covers :).

A pleasure to hand to the client :).

Cute cardigans and autumn leaves I Valokuvaaja Helsinki










































What do you do when you have so many images you want to share? Overshare like me :) ? It was just really hard to pick any less because I really wanted to show you all of them.

I arrived looking at the sky again -- no rain. Dark clouds though but that doesn't matter. So off to the park we go :). And then it took the normal 5 minutes for the kids to get used to me and after that it was a blast :). Mummy had found the perfect outfits and I loved the colours. I couldn't wait to get to edit these so here they are - enjoy :).
