We found each other in a most unusual way.  Olli’s brother’s wife’s coworker is Ade’s godmother.  And Ade’s godmother sent me an email using my webform.  WELL.  The webform didn’t work!  And didn’t send me the email!  So, the godmother casually mentioned it to my sister-in-law who told me.  Gah!!  I immediately changed my website, got rid of the form, inserted my normal email address instead (sarah (at) pikkuarkki.com in case you’re wondering…) and contacted the godmother- who’s name is Ritva.

So, Ritva wanted to know if I had gift certificates.  As, it turns out, I was just in the process of getting them made (you can see the fruits of that labour here) .  So, Ritva was actually the first person to order a gift certificate for her goddaughter Ade.

WHEW!   You still with me?

The shoot was held at a beach in Espoonlahti.  It was a gorgeous day with a gorgeous family, lots of fun, lots of smiles.  And soaking shorts on my part (I had to climb into the sea to get the shot- the things we photographers do for our clients.  :)  ).

For the slideshow (always the best part!) head here.  Remember to have your speakers on and be patient while it loads!
