Horsing around

We visited horse racing stables this week and I had a chance to take few photos. Horses are just so beautiful but there was also an old rhodesian ridgeback guarding the property. My son just loved the animals and the big tractor - perfect place for some afternoon fun.

Month in photos - July 2012

The month started in cold Australia and finished in warm Finland - we have had a ball - we are truly enjoying every single minute of our holiday. We have been picking blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and mushrooms. We have been fishing, taking a sauna bath and swimming. We have enjoyed sunshine and played in the rain. We have discovered endless sandpits and met lots of friends and family. But it's not over yet .. more is coming ..

Another month .. winter is well and truly here: lots of rain and cold nights. Gumboots and wet weather gear are part of everyday life now. Soon we will be enjoying finnish summer so can't really complain ..

Do you like winter? How do you survive these colder months?

Jasper the Cat

Meet Jasper the cat. I have always considered myself as a dog person but Jasper has changed my perspective slightly. Jasper actually acts more like a dog than a cat (in my opinon anyway): he is curious, friendly and loves human company. Jasper belongs to my mother-in-law and my son adores him. 

Are you a cat or a dog person?

Jasper's mate Minnie wasn't so up for photos - she preferred to observe the situation from under the table.

Everyday inspiration - story time

I love these story time photos .. we read lots of books every day but I really cherish the little story time we have after my son wakes up from his nap. I also like to show you how you can take lovely images of normal everyday situations - no need for fancy back drops or complicated posing.

Our Month in photos - May

Autumn is slowly turning to winter. My sons bike is clocking up the miles or should I say kilometers. We also discovered that riding through autumn leaves is also lots of fun. I'm still in love with my new camera - it has been lots of fun experimenting and learning all it's functions.Also slowly getting ready for our trip: we all have our passports sorted and I also need to work out my phone (if it works in Finland - and if - not need to make some alternative arrangements).

Welcome to the world - Elora Matilda

 Meet little Miss Elora .. she a cute as a button and her family are so happy of her safe arrival. 

Riina, Dan & Niko - may you cherish this special time and may it be filled with lots of joyous memories. All the best xx

Autumn leaves - family portrait session

Here is a session I did with little Patrics family. It was a perfect setting for an autumn shoot: sun was shining and the leaves were falling off the trees as I was shooting away.

Thanks again for a lovely morning! xx

Welcome to the world - Patrick Arthur

Intoducing little Patrick - he is so sweet. His mum, dad, big brother and sister were thrilled of his arrival. We took these photos when Patrick was only 8 weeks old and he was so alert already. I also did an outdoor shoot with the whole family - will post those images soon - stay tuned.
