Catch me if you can

Antonia changed Kindergarten since Pikku Pietari closed for the summer - no problem for her, or on the opposite, in the new Kindergarten there is a much larger outdoor area with a small children's hut with a kitchen inside. Apparently she cooks there and serves food :). She continues to entertain the kindergarten aunts with her joyful nature and jokes and every day we pick her up we hear "It was a good day. She is a very happy girl". But she eats not enough, well, we know (also why). Some words in Finnish appear in her vocabulary, e.g. "heippa" when we leave a place (meaning good-by). But she still keeps it as a secret which language she will finally pick. During the week-end, we visited Nina & David and their newborn baby "Mathilde", some pictures below. "HopLop", the Finnish indoor adventure park, was also scheduled for the week-end, together with Maija and her family, what should I say, it was great fun and exactly within the taste of Antonia (exercising). On a routine basis we also try to pick something interesting to do with Antonia after Kindergarten, e.g. visiting the playground or driving around, however, it is getting more and more difficult, since she often upsets our nice plans nowadays, e.g. by crying in the car or stroller. Nevertheless, we made it to a stack of wood this week where we played hide and seek. The weather has changed, and it turned quite chilly but nevertheless me and Tanya enjoy this week VERY much; we finally find time to celebrate her birthday properly.

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
