A day in your life

I look at my son everyday and think someday I'll miss this. In thirty years, when he's grown up with a family of his own, I'll miss the day to day things that make our life what it is.  I'll miss making his breakfast, reading him a bedtime story, dancing in the living room.  I'll miss how his head smells after a bath, the way he looks at me when he's doing something naughty, his happy babble.  I will miss it.

I know in thirty years, I'll be pouring over every photograph I've ever taken, a bit misty eyed, fondly remembering when.  Every photograph will take me back to a memory, and I'll relive these years again.

I want to help you remember when.  I want to create a session that documents who you are as a family right here and now.  I want to capture the silliness, the crankiness, the unconditional love that makes your family who it is.  

I want to chronicle a day in your life.

Unreal

My belly is ginormous.  Sorry, I don’t have photos of it- I’ve been too lazy to take one.  You’ll just have to take my word for it. The size of my ginormous belly is an indication as to how soon our family will go from three plus dog to four plus dog.  And this, my...

Preview: The easiest family shoot ever

I’m not saying the whole shoot was easy.  We had the normal issues with light and keeping kids happy as with any shoot. I’m talking about getting the four family members to look great at the same time.  I have LOADS of useable photos of these guys.  And I can’t wait to edit them and...

Family: Ade at 13 months

We found each other in a most unusual way.  Olli’s brother’s wife’s coworker is Ade’s godmother.  And Ade’s godmother sent me an email using my webform.  WELL.  The webform didn’t work!  And didn’t send me the email!  So, the godmother casually mentioned it to my sister-in-law who told me.  Gah!!  I immediately changed my website,...

Juhannus

I know I’ve been bad at blogging lately.  It’s just that I’m in full-on nesting mode.  Every minute not spent with Benjy is spent painting, organizing, planning, buying.  The new baby is coming in less than three months!!  Wowee!! We did take some time out from our mini-remodel for a midsummer celebration at the summer...

Remake Revisted

On Monday, I had my second fashion shoot ever.  With the same company that I had my first fashion shoot- Remake Ekodesign.  The first shoot I did with them was a definite learning experience.  I learned that I am a portrait photographer at heart.  And I need to remember to SHOW THE CLOTHES if doing...

Family Session: Kemi Family

My session with the Kemi family was literally a walk in the park.  The great thing about Helsinki is the insane amount of forests in and around all sorts of different neighborhoods.  The Kemis wanted their shoot in the forest where they spend a lot of their time and even braved a bit of rain...

Party: Anna’s 40th Birthday

You’ve all seen Anna, but just to be sure, here she is again.  :) And on Saturday, Anna had her fortieth birthday party.  And what a party it was! The party was an intimate dinner gathering, complete with in-home catering and jazz ensemble.  It was stellar.  Really, really incredible.  Elegant without being stuffy, beauty without...

Family Photo Session: Owen 18 months

The weather forecast promised rain all weekend.  But when Benjy woke me up at 5:30am, I looked out and saw blue skies!  I nearly called Melissa and Mark to have our shoot immediately while the weather held! Luckily, the rain held off JUST LONG ENOUGH to get our session done.  And I’m really, really glad...

Preview: Owen’s 18 months!

Do you know what I love?  I love it when a client (who is also a dear friend) reads my blog and then takes it upon herself to be SUPER prepared for her shoot.  Melissa read the blog about Benjy and the bubbles and remembered to bring bubbles along! So, not only did I get...
