Johanna and Antti recently welcomed a precious baby boy into the world and what a delight it was to work with them. This beautiful couple is from Finland but recently moved to the U.S. for Antti’s job.  When I arrived at their home for the shoot I was greeted by Johanna’s mom who had flown all the way from Finland to meet the newest addition to the family.  Despite the language barrier, there was no denying the love she had for her grandson.  I can’t imagine how hard it was for her to return to Finland leaving both her daughter and grandbaby behind.  Luckily, Johanna and Antti will return to Finland during the off-season which will give grandma plenty of time to love on that sweet baby boy!

Antti, we wish you the very best at the 2010 Olympics.  Congratulations!!
