Around our clocks - 5pm in february

Child sitting and watching tv

Hello again from the group of lifestyle photographers documenting one hour of our day each month. In february, we were reporting 5 pm.

5 pm is somehow a transition hour in our home at least during the week because it is the time we all come home. We pick up Antonia from Kindergarden at 16:30 so she is with us. It takes time to settle and at least I have this "issue" of not be able to switch rapidly, from my sometimes stressfull daytime job at university to being a home mom and partner. So we are not against that"Pikku Kakkunen" runs between 5 and 6 pm, and children's TV program in Finish which she is allowed to watch. Time for me to prepare dinner where I can relax. During the week-end, things get a little more exciting, since we usually head out for the second outdoor activity later afternoon. In February, we were once invited for a children's birthday party as well, which was fun! 5 pm is also the time the sun sets here at the moment, so good to catch some sunset pics or low light pics. Light light light, things hange quickly here and while we had only 7 hours daylight at the beginning of february there are already more than 10 now. And I wake up not by the snow machine, but the first sun flares in my face. Together with birds singing, one can imagine that spring is maybe not yet within reach, but also not too far away anymore. Happy days!

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
