Jenni
"What I would like to say to the world is something that guides us to relax.
"I like humming, laughing and being kind to people. I like to be kind to myself, too.
"I have always been a very laugh-a-lot kind of person, for some reason, or maybe because my dad is the Finnish version of Mister Bean.
"I find everyday routines very funny - not so serious. On the other hand, I'm very conscientious and very critical of whatever I do or make.
"At the moment my challenge is with my new role as a loving and caring adult in my boyfriend's and his two children's life.
My new family makes me question myself more than ever before about who I am. I also wonder how I can maximize this happiness for all of us.
"We will be moving soon so there is a lot to relax with the planning and packing as well.
Before I started my job as the Store Manager here at Minna Parikka's I have worked as a Visual Merchandiser.
I've graduated in Fashion and Clothing Design.
"I like to dance, mostly contemporary dance, but I also do ballet dancing. These opposite styles are a good combination to learn how the body works.
"When I was 15 y/o I wanted to play the guitar, it was my dream. Three years later, I got a guitar and taught myself to play. Sometimes, I even dare playing and singing even when someone is listening.
"My advice to my younger self would be: "Enjoy being a new beginner every single morning, don't let it scare you."
"I ended up moving to Helsinki from a very small city, Saarijärvi, and although I feel like Helsinki is the right place for me now, I'll always be the girl from Saarijärvi."
Tanks so much, Jenni. It was so much fun meeting you and making photos together !
I met the lovely Jenni in the shoe store she had mentioned above. I walked in to inquire about a pair of shoes for my Flickr friend Madeleine in New Jersey, USA and ended up photographing and interviewing two lovely young ladies; Uljana & Jenni.
