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...

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...

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...

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...

Playgroup! At a park! Not in a house! The sudden great weather gave us courage to head outside! And wouldn’t you know it, for the two hours we were actually at the park, it was pretty stinkin’ cold and grey and windy. And great weather for photographs! And what greater subjects than these adorable kids...

My kid is a rebel. Other kids might follow the rules. But Benjy? Benjy makes his OWN rules. Take the slide for instance. Other kids like going down it? Benjy spends his time going UP it. Nevermind he never actually gets anywhere. And nevermind his insanely bad fashion sense- that’ll get its own very separate...

Yesterday we went to the park with Elizabeth, James, Melissa, and Owen. It was WONDERFUL being able to take photos outside in actual light. I’ll post more from the day later on, but now I wanted to show this one. James was in this concrete race car, and I managed to get a few hilarious...

I’m going to show you a picture here that marks one of the best, most joyous Easters I can remember. The service was lovely, my handsome husband played the cello during the hymns, there was a baptism, and an African feast in the crypt afterwards. It was WONDERFUL. And I took the annual Easter photo...
