Old times serenity

These pics are from the last Summer. One of my favourite photographers made a comeback: I shot with Emilia after a long time. We did this shoot in collaboration with Boutique Minne.

Even though I'm not taking any modelling jobs right now, we're planning on testing Emilia's newly acquired MUA skills and, of course, combining it with a photoshoot. As soon as we have the time.

Introducing...

Nothing new as such, but Emilia now has her own web site, blog and Facebook group!

Here is her blog with the latest photos: Emilia's Photoblog.

And her work has been on other places as well. Such as in this blog: Omwoods.

These photos here are from our shoot last summer.

Oh so sweet!

Last weekend I had an extempore-shoot with Emilia Kallinen. We drove to Ruissalo again, but hey, why not, there are plenty of picturesque places there.

We however started at my place fitting clothes and me doing my makeup. I felt it was a bit "done in a hurry" -kind, but appears ok in the pics.

Then off to the sunny Ruissalo!
We were in this cafe where there were people eating lunch and having coffee. Yikes! Turned out to be fine though and not as scary as you'd imagine shooting in a crowded place to be. :)

 The curtains and the wallpaper matched my outfit. And check out that corgeous umbrella!

Yet another "my day as a princess" complete with Emilia. ^^

More Simonetta

When shooting Simonetta, we did other things than just this one picture. Here are some of them. For once and perhaps the first time I feel like I actualy look like a real model. :) I've had a bit of a crisis with myself lately, hearing Tya Banks on ANTM saying to me on judging "This beeeeeautiful girl I see in front of me. Is she just a pretty girl, or is there that high fashion edge to her" or "When she's standing in front of me, I see a beeeeautiful girl, but the judges are still wondering does that translate into the pictures, is she photogenig enough to make it in the fashion industry" and so on. Hm. Perhaps I've watched too much America's Next Top Model.

Anyway, here are some fames from the Simonetta shoot with Emilia.

And now that I'm putting them here, a little vote, which one do you think is the best? Which should go to my portfolio?

And is it just me, or do I resemble just a tiny bit Natalie Portman in the last one? :D

Simonetta

Okay, o my previous post I promised you Marie Antoinette, but instead (since I don't have those pics just yet) I'll give you someone from way back earlier: Simonetta. However, vastly modernised. I love the way Emilia was able to do my hair! This is just awesome. So, now I know who to turn to in case I have a big party coming up;).

So the inspiration for this photo was Simonetta Vespucci, who was a muse for many artists of the 15th century. She is, for instance, portrayed on Botticelli's painting The Birth of Venus.

Jodie in Wonderland

The fairy tale continues.. :) Many of you ahve said that in the previous pics I look like a fairy or pixie, well, whatd'ya think of these? ;)

Here's a sneak peek of what we did with Emilia Kallinen the other day -or evening more so. We did this shoot at Ruissalo, an island almost attached to the mainland here in Turku. The nature is really beautiful there. And I felt like a princess with the outfit and my hair done 'n all. ^^

Styling, hair, outfit and everything is by Emilia. :)

More of these to come.. for example one with me facing my fear: face to face with a bunny rabbit. O.O

Oh, and the mosquitos in Ruissalo were far worse than the ones on the rocks. Goaaarrrh, but hey, for the art;).
