Here are the first three themes of February, including the theme I got to choose as my prize from last month.
Love is in the air
• couples, engagement, finland, hääkuvaus, jo jackson photography, kihlakuvaus, oulu, photographer, valentine's day, valokuvaus, wedding
As the biggest day in the LOVE calendar is fast approaching, I thought I would celebrate with a fantastic offer for those of you who would like to surprise your partner with a photo shoot to remember.
The weekly challenge continues with some more fun themes to round out January.
Sofia - Children's Photography in Oulu
• baby photography, children photography, family photography, finland, jo jackson photography, lapsikuvaus, oulu, perhekuvaus, valokuvaus, vauva kuvaus
Last weekend I spent an afternoon with Sofia and her awesome parents, Heidi and Erkko, whose beautiful wedding I was lucky enough to photograph last summer.
Sofia turned one not long before Christmas and this was a shoot full of action and giggles - as you'll see from this selection of shots from the shoot!

This year I'll be taking part in a weekly photography challenge - Little Leap 52.
There will be a different theme each week and I will need to try to take a photo to fit in with it.
It should be a lot of fun and I'll obviously be sharing my efforts with you as the year goes on.
What a year!
• family, häät, jo jackson photography, nature, oulu, perhekuvaus, personal, photographer, photography, valokuvaus, wedding, Yorkshire
As we get ready to charge our glasses to the memories we hold so very dear from this year as well as all those before it and toast to the new year ahead I thought now would be the perfect time to look back over 2015 and the photos I've been lucky enough to take.
This year was a huge year for me and my camera!
This year was a huge year for me and my camera!
"Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse..."
Big, huge, giant, heart felt thank yous to all those who've booked, supported and generally helped make 2015 an amazing year for me and my camera.
I'm home in the UK for Christmas with my family, it's going to be a hard one for all of us but I know we'll get through it together!
I hope wherever you are, whether you celebrate Christmas or not, that you're with those that you love and that you get to spend as much time with them in the coming year as you want to.
Right now we're waiting for Father Christmas to come and there are two incredibly excited little girls who can't wait to see what he's left for them when tomorrow morning comes.
Love to you all and all the very best for 2016!

Sisters - Children's photography in Oulu
• baby photography, children photography, family photography, finland, jo jackson photography, lapsikuvaus, oulu, perhekuvaus, valokuvaus, vauva kuvaus
This weekend I was asked to photograph two beautiful little ladies.
The littlest lady has to be one of the calmest babies I've photographed, she even slept for a little while in the middle of the session which allowed for some adorable shots with her big sister looking on proudly.
The best thing about having these sessions in your own home is that you have everything to hand that you might need. Spare clothes, space to feed, toys your children love and, best of all, you'll have memories of your children in their first home. Sat on the sofa that they'll cuddle up to you on for years to come, photos of their first bedroom. Real memories that you'll treasure forever.

Christmas comes but once a year

Today the first flakes of snow have fallen and, as is true
to form, I’ve been bouncing around like an idiot as a result. Humming Christmas
songs, lighting candles…
But just now, as I sat watching the snow dancing in the light
from the street lights I started to cry.
Family Photography in York
• children photography, family photography, jo jackson photography, lapsikuvaus, perhekuvaus, photographer, photography, UK, valokuvaus, Yorkshire
During a recent trip to the UK for a family wedding I was lucky enough to meet up with an old friend and photograph her beautiful family.
Kate and I went to school together...a fair few years ago now...and we both went on a German exchange together, an experience that I'm sure we'll never forget in all sorts of ways!
One of the things I love about photographing children and families is that you don't need to be in a sprawling park or immaculate ornamental gardens to get lovely photographs - although these do make for stunning backdrops naturally. A child's smile will light up any space and as you can see from this selection of photos it really doesn't matter where we take the photos, the joy and the love will be just as obvious whether we're in a castle or a conservatory.
