Indoor family photography with Inca and Liv

This weekend I had a family photo session with a lovely family. Unfortuantely it was pouring down with rain and since we had already rescheduled the shoot once before, we decided to go ahead and do the session indoors. I arrived armed with my bulky equipment made even bigger with my indoor lamp but I was VERY thankful I had it. It gets so dark so quickly now! By the time we finished our session it was pitch black outside!

Liv is just 13 months old and dashes around chasing her older sister at lightening speed! She's such a cutie.

Inca is 10, stunning and so tall! She was almost as tall as me! Sweden next top model perhaps?!!

Inca was so lovely taking care and playing with her baby siter. She didn't care one bit when Liv stuck her fingers in her eyes, or pulled her lips...

They are all so playful...

Photobook design

I've just finished another photobook design for a family in Skåne and thought I'd share it on the blog since so many readers seem to be interested! The book is 19 x 19 cm, is hardbacked and the cover is a lovely gloss photo!

Here's the cover...

...and each page is a lay flat double spread. The borders are only here for the blog and are not part of the page designs.

Oskar in the snow!

Yesterday we had snow in Tullinge! I woke up and it was snowing...in October! It was the wet heavy snow that sticks to trees so it was so beautiful hanging on the autumnal leaves.
I just had to go out and play with Oskar in it and take my camera! He was very confused..."a snowball?..what am I supped to do with this?"

Anytime Portrait of Tie

Being a photographer I am usally the one behind the camera and rarely in front of it. So it's easy for me to complain about there being few decent photos of me!..although I am waiting for some shots taken of my family last week so I'm hoping my complaint will soon be solved!

Anyway, sometimes it's nice to get some photos taken by yourself, for youself, for your facebook profile or even for someone special. Yesterday I photographed Tie just because. He's such a laid back guy you wouldn't believe he's a Professor of Physics!

Facebook contest winner! Farrah!

In August I started my Facebook fanpage with a contest. I would draw a random name of all my fans at the end of August. When I mailed Farrah and told her she had won the prize and asked her if she would like the free photo shoot she was totally thrilled!! She told me how she'd been following my blog just wishing she could do a photo shoot with her little girl Jasmine! Well, this Sunday the session date finally arrived. We had a beautiful sunny morning but it freezing cold! Literally! It was 0 degree centigrade outside but we had such fun playing with the Autumn leaves that it took us a while before we really noticed the cold!

Here are some of my favourite shots of the session. Jasmine is such a beautiful, happy little girl and only 18 months old!..and what a beautiful name to match!

I've always reviewed, sorted and edited my photos using Adobe bridge and Photoshop CS4 but I've finally made the step of testing Adobe Lightroom and this shoot is my first one edited using this new software. So far I like it but there is still LOADS left to learn. One thing I love though is the slideshow functionality. So for those clients out there waiting to see pictures, it'll be worth the wait...I promise!
