>Amalia and Ivan are getting married in a few weeks time and I’m really looking forward to shooting their big day! They are a couple so at ease with eachother, few words but are needed… the way they look at each other says it all!..and the dancing…wow, do they know how to dance?!

Here’s a few of my favourites from their enagagement session in Stockholm earlier this evening!

>9 months ago today our little Oskar was born… how times flies!

Today Oskar had a check up at the health clinic and he is now a whopping 7870 grams and is 71.1 cm long!!

So, in honour of this special day here comes a whole selection of photos of Oskar taken over the Summer. I’ve hardly had any time for personal photography (due to too many clients!!) so these pictures go back to May… but we’ll start with the ones I snapped quickly in the garden this afternoon showing all his expressions and his love of clambering!

and look at his cute dimples!!

no more mummy!

Look at me, I’m walking!!!

yum yum!

His own disused mobile phone ready for eating!

I’m just sooo good looking with my bedtime hairdo…don’t you think?!

OUTSIDE!!!

OOoohh… I love to pull daddy’s hair!

…and I can blow bubbles!

They made me bathe in this at the Summer house!

…Cool auntie Stina wrote me my own book and had it printed!!

..and I could charm even the old ladies in Italy!

..and swimming in the pool evert afternoon with daddy was brilliant!

and walking up high here with mummy!

and Juliana took these of mummy and me way back in May!..look how short my hair was then!

>I’ve known Sarah and Niklas these past 5 years, basically since moving to Sweden, but my husband has known Niklas his whole life since their mums are friends and met when Olof was just a little boy! Whilst we were in Skåne this Summer we of course all got together with our children for a couple of days. Sarah and Niklas have a new addition to their family, little Viola who was just 8 weeks old! Her big sister Beatrice is now 2 and was the perfect protective big sister. Whilst Viola was sleeping, I got some lovely pictures of Bea playing with her mum and dad in the garden. I couldn’t resist taking a few close up photos of the sleeping beauty Viola either.
I look forward to seeing you all soon…and your new house in Svedala!

>Ealier this week I photographed Leo, his mum, his nanna and his aunti at Karlbergs Slotts Park. Karen, Leo’s mum is a fellow English lady so I got to do the session in English which was great for me!! Leo’s nanna and aunt flew over to visit for a few days so we took the chance to get some fun extended family photos.

Unfortunately Leo’s dad was on an airplane at the time and couldn’t join us but hopefully these photos will show him how much fun we had running around, playing with a giant basket ball and making bubbles! We were rather tired at the end of the session!

Since my Oskar slept so long today I had the chance to edit lots of my favourite photos, and there are lots! Leo’s eyes are so unusual…a sort of green with a brown center…beautiful!..and so many differnt expressions. He looks so much older in some of the photos don’t you think?

>This evening I photographed a lovely family at Karlberg Slotts Park but thsoe pictures will have to wait. I have been working every evening for the past 2 weeks until very late and this evening is supposed to be an evening of no post processing, no pictures… but I couldn’t resist a very quick look at these shots I took yesterday of our little Oskar! He is 8½ months old and aleady walking with his ‘learn to walk’ wagon! I’m so proud…and he just LOVES it! So, a quick blog post in celebration of this big ‘step’!

>Elias turned 1 year old last week so his proud parents booked me (2 months ago) this milestone! Little did they know at that time that we would also be documenting some of his first steps! Elias learnt to walk by himself last week and there was no stoping him today! He just walked and walked and walked… with his little hands held out the the side…sooo cute! My little Oskar is walking now when we hold his hands, I can’t wait to see the day he walks without me!
Here come some of my favourite pics of the evening… Elias’ t-shirt is so cool in picture don’t you think? It really makes his eyes stand out too!

>This evening I had the pleasure of meeting Annette and Robert for their wedding photography planning meeting. I heard about their holiday in Crete. They took a beach walk one evening, except the deck along the pebbled beach was all damaged and tricky to walk on in the dark so they just sat and looked out at the sea. Then Robert ‘saw’ something at the sea edge and made Annette go and look when he ‘found’ something he’d been looking for for a long time… an engagement ring! He asked Annette to marry him almost exactly 1 year ago and she (forgot) to say yes! They are getting married in 1 month at Huddinge Kyrka and I’m really looking forward to their ceremony. They are so quick to laugh so I think it’s going to be beautiful!

Here a few of my favourite shots taken this evening during their test shoot.

>My trip to Skåne has indeed been very productive! I’m been an avid blog reader of fellow photographer Jenny Sandberg this past year or so and Jenny and I have past a few comments back and forth. Since I had a photo shoot not so far away we took the chance to meet in person. I met Jenny and her lovely family at her home in Bjäred as was welcomed like an old friend! We talked all things photography and families (Jenny and David having 3 kids, the youngest only 5 months old) so there was no shortage of conversation! I took a look at her beautiful wedding books and albums and was thouroughly inspired!
Jenny was even so kind as to take 15 minutes aside and took some pictures of my family! It is not so often we get to be in a picture together so this was really the kindest thing in the world! Thank you so much Jenny! I look forward to doing the same for you next time!

Here’s a few of the lovely shots…

…and this might have to become my new online profile picture!!
