{it’s all about creating}
I just have so much joy in sharing this post… it kind of bubbles over and makes me smile silly happy smiles. Firstly, I got to hang out with a special friend for most of a day whilst photographing (always great!), but secondly, what we photographed / what I am posting is part of her tentative and brave ‘first steps’ in fulfilling a dream that has been in her heart for so long. And for that, she deserves a huge cheer!
Between juggling two rowdy boys, a hubby who travels loads and moving back to her home country after 5 years abroad, she’s daring to dream again about working with fabrics and to design & turn her ideas into the pretty clothes she so loves to make.
Berit, I wish you all the best for this new season ahead… and all the courage & wisdom you’ll need to know when and where to go, do & sew! I cannot wait to see all that you are still to create. Thanks for entrusting me with the task of photographing a few of the lovely items for your portfolio – it was such a blessing to be a part of your journey.

p.s. a few extra images will be posted HERE soon (including her lovely wedding dress & handmade crown, so pretty!). Do pop by in a short while.
jordana & andreas {gamla stan}
I met up with Jordana and Andreas in Gamla Stan, the old town in inner Stockholm, and we had great fun doing a portrait session, wandering up & down narrow alleyways and peeking into specialist stores whilst taking pictures.
A special thank you to the English Bookstore and Polkapojkarna both for props & lovely locations. Be sure not to pass them by on a visit to Gamla Stan!
{Lizelle Tenten, thank you for being my bag / prop carrier and assistant!}

As magical goes, setting up and shooting this styled session with lovely Mathilda in the park surrounding Waldemarsudde (Djurgården, Stockholm) was just that.

meet baby milan
Little Milan was born on April 17 to proud mommy and daddy Camelia & Sana Safai. I had great fun photographing a lovely expectant Camelia (click HERE for the shoot) and was really excited to meet this little man for the first time – and to be able to photograph him too. We had a choice of the sweetest little hats / wraps available for this shoot, all knitted by friends and family. How precious. x
