Adorable must be their middle name!

When Malena and Andre showed up at my studio with their three adorable kids,  I knew it was going to be a fun shoot.  How can it not be a blast to photograph such lovely kids with brilliant personalities?  The pics say it all!

A beautiful day for a wedding

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of following Sari and Håkan on their gorgeous wedding day.  The weather was great and the adorable little church was such a lovely setting.  The moment we met in the church parking lot, the love and enthusiasm was streaming from them, and I knew it was going to be a fun day.  They were such a treat to photograph.  Being able to share such a big day with such wonderful people is one of the many perks of my job and I love it.  Congratulations to Sari and Håkan.

Some kids just like the outdoors!

The other day i had the pleasure of photographing the sweetest kids.  Only, little brother was just not happy in the studio, try as they did, Mama, big brother and big sister just could not get him to cooperate.  Luckily for us, once we moved the shoot outside he was a much happier camper.  So impressed with his older siblings they were real troopers!  well done!

Matik Boutique - Hand made clothes and home accessories

Another shoot I have neglected to put up.  Matik is a new boutique selling fair trade artisan hand made items.  I did a little product shoot for them before we left India.  Check out there website and blog or like them on facebook.  By buying products from Matik and others like it we can help support the people who need it and not the big sweat factories.

Three is a magic number!

Been so busy didn´t realize it has been three months since i have posted.  So much has happened, but I will save that for another post. This post is all about the beautiful Liina and her gorgeous tummy!  (who turned out to be an adorable Ellen!  Congrats!).  I had a great time catching up Liina and trying to get some cute shots while all our little ones ran around. 

unique headshots for a talented postparum doula

As postparum doula and sleep consultant, and soon to be author, Enricka was needing some new headshots.  we had great fun at the shoot, such a great spirit she has, and i learned so much, we could use a little of her talents here in sweden. 

the cuteness just oozes...

Some families are just so adorable that you cannot help getting all warm and gooey inside while doing a fotoshoot with them.  despite mamma´s discomfort in front of the lense, she did a great job.

Celebrating Holi!

We recently celebrated Holi here in India.  Such a great holiday!  Holi is the festival of color, and colorful it is, everyone chases one another around smearing colorful powder on them. The festival signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter, a time to play and laugh, forget and forgive.  Really it is a photographers dream.  Hope everyone has a colorful spring and summer!

A good cause

 India is a amazing country, with tons to offer the visitor.  The travelers in India often come home feeling like they have grown, perhaps become somewhat more enlightened.  And with all that India offers us as visitors, it has a million and one ways we can give back.  We recently visited a child shelter, Stepping Stones in the nearby city of Margao.  The work they do there is truly inspiring.  We were shown around the premises by a lovely educated young woman, who later told us that she started out as one of the shelter children and now loves working there and giving back.  There are a lot of street children in India, and this is one of the project working to help improve the lives of these children.  El Shaddai has more than 3,000 children in their shelters now.  They are amazing children, full of potential, every little bit helps... childrescue.net

Maskeradfest, Goan style

The local "international" school, Vidya Aranya had a fancy dress party fundraiser recently.  There was a great support from the local community with loads of people showing up.  The kids all dressed up, with some really brilliant costumes.  Love the creativity here.  Here are a few shots from the evening.
