Carousel

Santa is coming to the Marketplace

Winter is still battling and temperatures fluctuate around zero, and only by the end of this week we get real snow. Why do I always start with the weather? Do not know :). Santa visited Kuopio this week-end, and there was carousel on the torri (market place) of course we were part of it. I am not sure was she afraid, she was sitting with a bored face in this chair and seemed to just tolerate this. She might have thought "Are we having fun yet?". Nevertheless, she didn’t want to leave and I had to let her sit for 3 runs in a row (I imitated i take her off but simply did not because there was a huge queue) which kind of suggested that fun program was accepted. We have booked our christmas holiday, as usual we will spend it in Austria, I am really looking forward to it 😃 Our new passports arrived, so we should be good to go. Generally, I have a feeling that she learns about one word per day. Currently counting eagerly, neun, zehn, zwei, drei, always lifting some fingers no matter which. Apparently also her Finnish is improving, they told at Kindergarten. We have to hurry up and learn this language finally, if we want to understand her in future :)

Hi.

My name is Christina. Welcome to my passion and my living dream. Weddings and family occasions to me are the events which most need to be memorialized and saved in pictures. I am a mother, photographer, biologist, and a happy-go-lucky person who loves to travel and has been known to throw caution to the wind. I use my camera and my curiosity to find love, beauty, joy and humor in unexpected places. Every time I meet a new couple so crazy in love they can’t keep their eyes and hands off each other, it makes my stomach flip because I absolutely know how it feels to be that new couple. This is how I know how much it matters to have those moments captured in time. Because no matter how many years pass, when you look back at those pictures, you won’t think about all the imperfections but you will remember the love, sun’s warmth and the song that was playing in the background and the moment will come live
