Life in Sweden
Few things are as sweet as young babies. Our neighbours happen to have one of them, which I could “borrow” for a short while to practice on. Lovely, sweet, 2 months old Harry. As a fantastic bonus I also got his 2,5 year old sister in front of my lens, which once again reminded me again how important it is to have props 😉 Continue reading “Baby”
I’ve been doing lots of people-fotography recently. Both outside as well as inside. This weekend, I arranged a little get-together with friends around photography.

Same setup as yesterday, two beautiful girls
