LITTLE MINNA

“Sometimes since I've been in the garden 

I've looked up 

through the trees at the sky 

and I have had a strange feeling 

of being happy 

as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest 

and making me breathe fast. 

Magic is always pushing and drawing 

and making things out of nothing. 

Everything is made out of magic, 

leaves and trees, 

flowers and birds, 

badgers and foxes 

and squirrels and people. 

So it must be all around us."

MINNA, BEHIND-THE-SCENES

This past week I had the 

pleasure and absolute honour

to shoot Minna's delicate children's collection,

and I wanted to share some behind-the-scenes glimpses with you.

Our home was filled with little rosy-cheeked girls

in floaty, lace dresses,

flowers and sunlight,

beautiful Minna Hepburn herself, 

who had flown over from England,

and my dear friend Tanja 

helping with flowers & dresses & setups.

A dream team,

left with a hunger for more. 

Now busy guzzling the coffee

and going through final edits -

I'll share some more in this space very soon.

Viime viikolla minulla oli ilo ja valtava kunnia

valokuvata Minna-lastenmallisto kotonani.

Halusin heti jakaa vähän behind-the-scenes -otoksia.

Iltapäivä oli tulvillaan punaposkisia tyttösiä

valkoisissa pitsimekoissaan,

kukkia ja valoa.

Minna Hepburn itse lennähti paikalle Englannista,

ja ympärillä hääräsi myös rakas ystäväni Tanja,

joka sitoi kimppuja, napitti mekkoja

ja lainasi visuaalista silmäänsä.

Unelmatiimi,

nälkä jäi tehdä lisää.

Nyt mutteripannu porisee ahkerasti

käydessäni lopullista kuvasatoa läpi -

lisää ihan pian.
