>A couple of weeks ago I was in Skåne and had the pleasure of a family shoot on the beach! I was soooo looking forward to it. We still had half a meter of snow in our garden in Stockholm and Skåne promised a warm Spring weekend!… Then it snowed again! The snow melted quickly and we had our session as planned much to the shock of the little fingers of Eadward 18months and Aelfie 3.5 years!

I’ve not been so well since I got back from Skåne so this blog is long awaited but here are a few of my favourites!…

Now I’m off to curl up on my sofa and feel sorry for myself again!

>I’m snowed under at the moment designing books for families and editing photos for enlargements. I’ve even recently ordered what I hope to be the most amazing photo book to offer my wedding couples and families. The book is the same lay flat design as my current books but this one is handbound in leather (with loads of colour options)! The pages are about 2mm thick each so I am expecting my 30×30 cm book to weight about 2½ kg! I hope to receive it in a couple of weeks so keep an eye on my blog for pictures!

Since all blog posts should have a picture, I’m posting one of Anya, one of the enlargements her parents have ordered! Isn’t she such a beauty! (Julia, I’ll be working on your pictures next week!)

I have so many exciting shoots coming up this month including family sessions, an engagement session, a newborn session and in a month my first wedding of the season! Happy days! If you are thinking of booking a Spring photo session with me then send me an email of give me a call! If you are one of those lucky people who have recently received gift certificates then drop me a line, I’d love to hear from you and book in your photoshoot!

>Yesterday I photographed the most adorable 4 months old Freja in her home. The apartment had the best light a photographer can imagine when going to a home shoot with a wall of North facing windows! Wonderful!

We had such a lovely time. Almost every prop and detail you see in these pictures is special, from the hat which Teresas had for the evening of her wedding, the patchwork quilt was hand made my Frejas grandmother, as was her white knitted dress which she will wear on her name giving ceremony next week. The ribbon on the dress was used in the detailing of Teresa and Andreas wedding day! It’s so lovely to go to a home and photograph a family amoungst their treasured possessions! It makes the photos even more meaningful. Well, here are some of my favourites!

Teresa told me that Freja had started to show an interest in her feet and laying in the picnic basket gave her the perfect position to admire her little tootsies! This was the first time she had grabbed her own feet.

This is where Freja usually watch her dad cook dinner!

I’m really looking forward to designing this photobook!

>Happy Valentines day!

To my regular blog readers who probably noticed my blogs facelift, let me know what you think about the new look before I roll it out to my website too!

>Madeleine enjoys photography but really wanted some nice pictures of herself. The pictures taken after Gymnasiet weren’t really anything special. So, for Christmas she received the best of presents! I photo shoot with me!! On Sunday I photographed beautiful Madeleine in Tullnge. We timed the shoot for 3pm so we could catch that beautiful warm light before the sun went down and it was perfect! cold…but perfect!
I used th natural light 80% of the time with a little help of a reflector to balance the light on the shady side. We even used off camera flash for a few of the later shots but hopefully you can’t tell which ones!

>This weekend I photographed baby Anya and her family in Stockholm. She was the cutest little baby and so tiny at just 6 weeks old!

I have so many shots to look through now and create a gallery that I haven’t had time to look through them all yet but very quickly here are some favourites.

It’s so lovely to shoot newborns. It’s so important to capture those little wrinkles and hairs that dissapear in the first 2 or 3 weeks of life. It’s amazing how quickly they grow and change. I can hardly bealive that it was only a year ago Oskar was that small! I’m so thankful for all the photos I have of him documenting all his different phases and expressions.

>I had an amazing shoot yesterday afternoon with Madeleine and thought I’d share 2 photos in the wait for the full blog post later in the week!
I had such great fun Madeleine! You are so beautiful!..take a look…

>Competition! Read below!!!

So, at last I have picked out no less than 129 favourites from all my family shoots during 2010! It was a really tough job but I am happy with the result! It’s great to look back through these photos and remember all the wonderful families I’ve met. Each family has their own charms and I love to capture these in camera.

It was even harder picking out 5 pictures to add to this blog post and maybe my choice reflects what is dearest to me at the moment…children with their mums! But I do love to capture little ones with their dads too!!!

Now, here comes the competition!… Go and visit my Facebook page and click on Like/Gilla. Look for the Family Favourites photo gallery and select your favourite photos! You can vote for 3 photos. The family in the photo with the most votes by Valentines day (14/02) wins their picture mounted on a kappa board in 30x45cm! So, round up all your friends and family and get them all to vote and make one of my 2010 families SUPER HAPPY this Valentines!

If you’d like to book a session for your family this Spring, then call or mail me and get a date booked!..Or if you know a family who’d love some photos taken then buy them a gift certificate! You pick the amount you want to give.

Here’s my favourites in a slideshow! If you are watching at work, beware, there is music!

>Anna and Fredrik played underwater rugby with my husband for several years before they moved to Germany 2 years ago for work. A sad loss to his team! Now they have finally moved back to Sweden, just not to Stockholm so I guess they’ll be playing on opposing teams at some point in the year!

Anyway, more to the point, whilst visiting family in Stockholm over the Christmas break they took the chance to book a family shoot with me! Happy me! Raoul is the cutest little 9 month old! He curls his tounge when he laughs in a way most of us can never do! It was just my luck that the shoot was planned when we had a 90% partial solar exclipse (little did I know) so lamps and flashes were used in part, but Roaul didn’t seem to care! Here are a few of my favourites with a few more in the slideshow to follow!

Some of you might recognise Anna and Frekke from my portfolio and old blog post. A stunning 2008 wedding couple! What a wedding it was!

2 weeks ago Wilmer turned 6 months old. He is the baby of my good friend Eva-Lena who had asked me to photograph their little darling. Since it’s now December and gingerbread is a symbol of Christmas in Sweden, Wilmer started his shoot in a little gingerbread man (pepperkaksgubbe) outfit! Isn’t it sooo cute!

and sometimes only daddy cuddles will do…

and then mummy cuddles too…

and even family cuddles!

Eva-Lena loves the darker thick hair on the back of Wilmer’s head. Oskar had the same!

Wilmer can just about sit up by himself now! There is a topple to the side every once in a while but it won’t be long now untill he’ll be happily upright!
