18/52 - SPRING

dappled light

Spring is...when the sun has finally come out and the air is full of bright spring light.

We are back in Finland, and it is icy cold. When we left for Austria, we were sure to leave winter behind us and come back in spring. This is not the case. There is still everywhere snow and temperatures fluctuate around zero. While it has been the warmest April in years everywhere else in the world, not so in Finland or generally Europe i think. In addition to temperature shock, another shock hits us: Monday, 1st of May, is Hyvää Vappua, or “Tag der Arbeit”. And thus no Kindergarden. We are really a little disappointed, after 3 weeks with Antonia we were so looking forward to one “free” day and also to work which is waiting. :). Tanya is so kind and takes care about our little one and I can visit university, to catch up with work. Later on the week-end, there is some small amusement park (Tivoli) in Kuopio, and I take Antonia for a short visit. Otherwise, chilly week with some doctor’s visit which makes us nervous, but luckily everything ok.

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
