Backdrop of life...

Sometimes things just work out.  Like we recently started putting a new siding on our house.  I love it.  But it just happens to make a gorgeous background for fotoshoots too!  Double happiness!  And then along comes one of the cutest kids ever,  those curls are to die for!  Man I love my job!

Muddy feet on gorgeous children

The rain is falling outside my studio today, and there is a chill in the air.  Fall is definitely here.  I want to curl up in a blanket on the coach with a fire in the fireplace and read a good book.  The days of chasing butterflies through the forest are gone for this year.  The kids running barefoot through the creek,  also is only a memory for now.  I love the summer. I love the freedom it makes me feel.  I love that there is so much light, enabling much longer shooting hours during the day.  I guess today I am just reminiscing about the summer and how great it is. Autumn is lovely too, be assured I do appreciate its beauty.  The fall leaves make for amazing backdrops for fotoshoots.  But there is just something magical about the summers in Sweden,  and it is with a sad adjö  I say good-bye to summer 2017.  I do still have many images from this summer to sort through and edit, so I am sure this will not be last summer image, but it is one of my current favorites.  I love muddy feet on gorgeous children.

 

Fairy Princess Improntu fotoshoot

I love photographing children, my own and any others willing to stand in front of my camera.  My kids are so used to me having a camera, and are basically sick of it.  LOL.  So it is a very rare occasion that they actually ask me to pull the camera out and capture whatever they are doing.  But this was one of those rare times.  One day our little pixie girl decided to dress up as a fairy princess, and was running about digging in the dirt and climbing on stones, as fairy princesses do.  I happened to walk by and she yells at me to go and get my camera.  My heart soared!  A child who wants to cooperate!  So of course I dropped everything.  The light was perfect, she was magic, and we had so much fun.  I love those spontaneous shoots, so i guess my tip for today, is always keep your camera nearby ( and charged) and if your child ever asks you to take their picture,  drop everything and enjoy it.  These moments will not last long, so that is why I love to preserve them.

Old, worn, and torn, and absolutely fabulous

I have been looking for the perfect chair to use for my portrait photography sessions.  Of all the ones I found, they never were quite right, too modern, or too big,  too much pattern, or just way too expensive.  But my patience paid off.  I found this beauty on a second hand facebook site,  it is in dire need of love,  but oh so beautiful.  Perhaps it is silly that I get so giddy when I find something I think is perfect, but I cannot help it!  It is just so pretty!  

 

Being a mom is great, it means I have models always on hand! Granted they are not always willing to cooperate,  but sometimes, just sometimes, it is magic.

Free at last!

I have to admit that this blog is woefully neglected.  Nearly a year since my last post.  I suppose it is because I find myself overwhelmed by all the social media outlets.  Feeling the need to post to instagram, to facebook, to the blog, it can all be too much, for me anyway.  Trying to decide which images would be the most appealing, which would get the best response. Not to mention, I was never really sure if I should post in Swedish or English.   I suppose the pressure of posting the best possible images led to posting less and less, and finally not at all.  I find myself with hundreds of images that I love but no one (except the ones intended for customers) ever see.  Sooo, while laying in bed last night I came to the decision, that I will reclaim this blog.  I will post with no pressure on myself. I will post merely because I feel like it.  There need not be rhyme or reason, only the desire to share, albeit there may be no one out there in my cyberspace.  It feels so liberating somehow. No idea where these pressures arise from, perhaps my own head,  must be actually.  So I guess this will now become a place where I learn to free myself, a work in progress with no plan, no pressure, just a relaxing meandering down my own photographic journey.  So I leave you with my thoughts and a picture of one my muses. 

Nyföddfotografering I Norra Skåne

Inget luktar så ljuvligt som en nyfödd bebis. Det är en fröjd att få fotografera ett alldeles nytt litet liv.
Här har vi lille Ville.

Familj och syskonfotografering i Örkelljunga skog

So luckily before storm Freja and storm Gorm blew all the beautifully colored fall leaves to the ground, I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable family.  They were so much fun and their energy was terrific,  it was a fabulous fall day!

Vilken tur! Innan stormen Freja och stormen gorm blåste alla löven ur träden så hade jag nöjet att fotografera denna förtjusande familj. De var så roliga och deras energi var fantastisk. Det var en underbar höstdag!

 

Barnfotografering i Örkelljunga

Att arbeta som fotograf är ett sådant fantastiskt jobb....Det är ett stort ansvar vare sig det är ett bröllop eller bara en lekstund. Dessa minnen kommer att hålla i en livstid, och förhoppningsvis ännu längre. För att bevara dessa stunder på det vackraste sättet jag kan är ett jobb som jag älskar varje ögonblick av.

Tänkte att jag skulle dela några bilder av en session som jag gjorde med underbara lilla Vivian nyligen.

It is all black and white baby!

This last weekend I had the extreme pleasure of photographing young Alex and his parents.  Such an adorable and mellow little fellow.  I normally love colorful children fotos, but I happen to know that his mom is rather partial to black and white, hence the dedicated, purely black and white blog entry.  As an added bonus I get to photograph Alex´s christening this weekend, and you can look forward to some beautifully colored photographs from that fotoshoot!  Enjoy!

I know I have been a bit bad at keeping the blog up to date, but now I am back in the studio full time, so there are a lot of entries coming.  You can always check out more of my portfolio on my website, Eimi Thorén Fotography or on facebook. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in a fotoshoot.

Happy Holi 2015!

So I think Holi is one of my all time favorite holidays!  Despite being laid up in bed for over a week, I refused to miss it.  Not a bad way to end way too much bed rest. Wish I had been in full form to get more shots, but we had a blast, and the colors are hard not too love!
