Our children grow so fast and their faces and expressions change faster than we can keep track of. I’m so thankful for my iphone for keeping track of small moment in my daily life that I can send so easily to the distant grandparents in Spain and Skåne. But apart from these daily moments real portraits are priceless to have. Newborn photos because, as a newly delivered mum, we barely remember those first 2 sleep deprived weeks, and after 2 weeks they’ve grown so much that they just don’t look the same anymore.  The next ages that is really special to capture properly is around 7-8 months when they have learnt to sit up. Their faces light up and they can hold, grab and eat their toys. They might even be able to crawl or commando style drag themselves around. It’s a great time. Here are some favourites of the lovely Samual who came to my studio recently just in this age.

Våra barn växer så snabbt och deras ansikten och uttryck förändras snabbare än vi kan hålla reda på. Jag är så tacksam för min iphone för att hålla koll på små ögonblick i mitt dagliga liv som jag kan lätt skicka iväg till mor- och farföräldrar i Spanien och Skåne. Men bortsett från dessa dagliga stunder, är riktiga porträtt bilder ovärderliga att ha. Nyfödda bilder eftersom, som en nyligen förlöst mamma, kommer vi knappt kommer de första 2 sömnbrista veckor, och efter de 2 veckor de har vuxit så mycket att de inte ser likadana ut längre. De kommande åldrar som är verkligen speciellt att fånga är ca 7-8 månader när de har lärt sig att sitta upp själv. Deras ansikten lyser upp och de kan hålla, greppa och äter sina leksaker. De kan till och med kunna krypa eller commando-stil drar sig runt på golvet kanske. Det är en rolig tid. Här är några favoriter i den vackra Samual som kom till min ateljé nyligen just i denna ålder.

Last week I had the enormous pleasure of meeting Malte and his family for a special photography session. It was an Essence Vitae session. I am part of an amazing project involving 50 or photographers across the country and we photograph families with incurable life threatening illness for free. The focus of the session is on the family, the love they share, the happiness they find, a documentation of their life in a moment. We go home to the family and photograph them there. If you know a family who needs an hour of fun with a photographer there to capture their moments together then take a look at Essence Vitaes website and pass on the link. Here are just a few of the beautiful moments I caught in camera of this playful family.

Here’s a little sneak preview of what I’ve been having fun doing in the studio this morning. Little Adalyn is only 6 weeks old and as expected for the ages, didn’t want to sleep or curl up and be cosy but be with mum and walk around. We managed some lovely baby/newborn portraits of her anyway and some wonderful photos of her brother and family. They’ll come later…sneak peek here only!

A few days ago my family came to visit me for lunch at my studio in Tullinge (I was 1 happy mummy!). My kids were happily playing in my daylight studio so I grabbed my camera to capture their laughter and play. Everyone assumes that as a childrens photographer I must have loads of great photos of my kids! That’s just not the case. When Oskar was small I photographed him all the time so from that period I do have alot of lovely photos. But just the same as any mum, I have a lot less photos of my second child, Alice. Time just goes too fast. Photographing your own children once they know what a camera is though is the hardest thing. They usually run away. Well, at least my eldest does. I bribed him this time with a lollipop which did the trick! I had a full 5 minutes with him and Alice was so lovely playing with the small latte cups while sitting in a basket!

I love the last picture of Oskar. It was just a moment, a split second, and he was happy again. I wonder what he was thinking about.

Photographing newborns is probably the biggest ‘perk’ of being a family and childrens photographer! I just love it. Latest in my studio was 12 day old little Selma. She is just beautiful and sweet and warm and lovely. If you are interested in booking a newborn session with me then be sure to book before your baby is born to ensure you can get a date. We need to photograph your treasure within the first 2 weeks while they still sleep all the time!  We’ll reschedule as necessary after the birth of your baby.

For those of you new to my blog, I have 2 children myself, 3 and 1 year old, so I am perfectly comfortable and used to holding newborns. I have full changing and feeding facilities here in my studio.

Att fotografera nyfödda bebisar är förmodligen den största förmån med att vara en familj och barnfotograf! Jag bara älskar det. Senaste i min studio var 12 dagar gamla lilla Selma. Hon är helt enkelt vacker och söt och varm och härlig.

Om du är intresserad av att boka en nyföddfotograferings med mig se till att preliminär boka innan bebisen är född så att du garentera att få ett datum. Vi måste fotografera din lille skatt inom de första 2 veckorna medan de fortfarande sover hela tiden! Då får man dessa underbara nyfödda foto. Vi boka ett fast datum efter födseln.

För er som är nya med att läsa min blogg, så har jag 2 barn själv, 3 och 1 år gamla. Så jag är helt bekväma och van vid att hålla nyfödda. Jag har skötbord, micro och soffa för att kunna sköta din bebbis under tiden ni är här i min studio.

This Autumn we had fabulous leaves! Some years they just turn brown, fall and rot on the ground but this year it was perfect…perfect for an outdoor 1 year photography session! It’s the best time of year for childrens photography.  I found this spot just a stones throw from my studio. The kids love it and I love it! …and I loved their matching wooly jumpers too.

I höstas hade vi fantastiska löv! Ibland blir de bara bruna, falla från träd och ruttna…men i år var de perfekta!… perfekt för en utomhus 1 års- fotografering! Det är den bästa tiden för barnfotografering. jag hittade denna liten plats fullt med löv bara en stenskast från min atälje! Barnen älskar det och jag älskar det! … och jag älskade denna familjes matchande ull trojor med!

I know, It’s been too long since my last blog. I promise that it’s not because I don’t have anything to share but rather I’m just to busy producing all the beautiful wall displays and albums for my clients! Now I have a dilemma, continue showing everything in order I photographed which means sharing Summer family portraits on a Winters day or skip to the Autumn or even Winter ones?!… It might just get a bit jumbled here for a while! Here’s a few of the photos this lovely Stockholm family have waiting to collect.

I’ve just finished working on those most beautiful portraits! At this session we discovered tiny tiny newborn frogs, they were as small as my thumb nail and Valdemar didn’t want to be photographed, he wanted to catch the frogs!…but with a little playful persuasion I got these amazing shots… and wow…his eyes just popped! Looking at these images on screen just pales in comparison to the fine art displays!….lovely! I don’t want to let them go!

It’s been a while since my last blog. So as the Autumn approaches I thought I’d better blog one of my remaining Summer sessions! In July, while in Kattvik, I photographed this super happy family for the second time. Luke is such a happy kid and he so loves his parents. We had a great time playing in the wet grass and had perfect light down on the pebble beach. I’ve just edited all of their chosen beautiful images here are some of my favourites! Another favourite is now even on my websites new improved landing page slideshow! Enjoy…
