Coola syrror!

Dom här coola syrrorna var så otroligt kul att fota! Dom hade egna idéer om hur de ville bli fotograferade, hittade på olika poser och var väldigt samarbetsvilliga. Det uppskattas! Och resultatet blev ju så bra, eller vad tycker ni?

These cool sister was so much fun to photograph. They had so much ideas and was very cooperative. That is really appreciated! And the result turned out really nice, or what do you think?

Gratis fotografering i december

Jag har haft ett erbjudande nu i november om gratis fotografering och det blev en succé! Så nu har jag bestämt mig för att ha det i december också för att hinna med alla som ville bli fotade.

Kolla in dom här gulliga systrarna som jag fotade för ett tag sedan!

I’ve been offering a free photography session in November and it has been a success! So I decided to have that offer in December too.

Check out these cute sisters!

A corner from our living room

Idag har jag suttit framför datorn nästan hela dagen och bildbehandlat. Tack gode gud för Spotify, det gäller att ha bra musik när man jobbar! Jag jobbar med mina porträttbilder som jag har fotat de senaste veckorna, hoppas kunna visa några bilder här på bloggen så fort jag fått ok av föräldrarna. Jag har fotat så många supergulliga barn! Här får ni se ett hörn från vardagsrummet istället, i väntan på barnen :-)

Today I’ve been working on the computer, editing photos. Thank god for Spotify, it’s important to have really good music when you are working! I’m editing the portraits I’ve been shooting the last couple of weeks. Hopefully I can show you some pictures of the super cute kids as soon as I get an OK from the parents. In the meantime I show you a corner from our living room :-)

Mysiga lampor (Cozy lamps)

Jag har ju skrivit på engelska här på bloggen men nu tänkte jag skriva både på engelska o svenska. Hälften av mina läsare är från Sverige och andra hälften är från övriga världen.

Dom här mysiga lamporna kommer från Nära & Kära som jag delar lokal med. Svamplampan står i lekstugan och kaninlampan i min dotters rum.

I’ve been writing in English here on my blog but now I will be blogging in both Swedish and English. Half of my readers are from Sweden and the other half is from the rest of the world.

The cozy lamps are from the shop Nära & Kära, were I have my little photo studio. The mushroom lamp is in the playhouse and the cute little bunny is in my daughters room.

Before & After

Prepare your self! The "before" picture can make you blind!
;-) This is a corner in our kitchen, we painted the walls and ceiling white. And now we want to have a new floor, new kitchen cupboards and new kitchen tiles and so on… That is the problem when you change something, the rest looks so dark and ugly!

Bad blogger

I have not blogged for a week! And the reason for that is that I have been working my butt off! I have been photographing a bunch of people, both children and grown ups. And taking care of my little Etsy business. I have been to my local printer, packaging Christmas cards, editing pictures and manage to squeeze in a visit to the Stockholm Photo Fair. Here are a few links to some great photographers that had exhibitions at the fair:
Peter Eriksson
Brutus Östling
Emilia Bergmark–Jiménez
Anders Petersen
Matilda Lindeblad
Thron Ullberg
Annika Aschberg

To dad

Today it is Father’s Day here in Sweden. I visited my dad today to celebrate him. We had some cake and he wanted me to take some pictures of his amazing flower Angel's Trumpet. So here it is dad!

A couple of years ago I did this card to my father. It is a photo of him and me, and a poem about being a father. He is only 23 years old in this picture! The photo is from the early 70’s as you maybe already discovered, judging by the clothes…

LOVE letters

About a year ago I started to paint this poster… And now I have finally framed it! No hurry here! ;-)


I painted it with gouache on watercolor paper.

All Saint's day

This weekend we have visited the cemetery, been to a birthday party, been to a restaurant and a movie. And we have got so much done, I wish all weekends could be like this. And of course we had time to paint the nails with black nail polish! This weekend we had All Saint's day here in Sweden, and it happened together with Halloween this year. Halloween is a fairly new phenomenon here in Sweden. But it is getting more and more attention each year, which you can tell by all the pumpkins being sold!
