Beautiful Professional Portraits at Home

Greetings! You know, sometimes a client books you for one job, say, a wedding party at the National Museum in Stockholm, and then months later, they decide to establish their own business, so they book you for branding images. That’s exactly what happened with this client. She is launching her own consultancy business, and since she was so happy with the party images I created, she reached out to book me for fresh portraits for her new venture.

This astute businesswoman was delighted that I could come to her home and create a series of images there. We discussed the feel of the images and her outfits, resulting in a professional, friendly, and approachable vibe to her portraits.

These days, many people are opting for non-studio images for their professional profiles and social media accounts. They want images that truly reflect who they are. Images that are natural and genuine, not stiff and over-styled.

If it’s time for you to update your professional or, indeed, personal portraits, why not reach out and we can chat. I look forward to hearing from you!

Peace and love xoxo

Confirmation Portrait Session

Greetings! I recently had the honour of being asked to do this confirmation portrait session at Riddersvik Castle. This young man’s parents wanted beautiful portraits of their son before he made his confirmation. We met on a summer evening, then walked and talked as I created some natural and timeless images.

These teenage years go fast, and a lot will change during this time. This young man hadn’t had portraits taken since he was two years old, so I’m glad his parents realised that he needed some up-to-date portraits! I always tell parents, don’t just have your children photographed when they are newborn or two years old. There are so many stages after the toddler years that are worthy of documenting!

One-on-one portrait sessions are my absolute favourite! That said, I also photograph couples, families, and extended families, headshots, etc. Don’t be shy. If this is something you’ve been meaning to book in, feel free to go to the Connect tab above, and we can get the ball rolling!

Peace and love xoxo

Vacation in Stockholm Photo Session

Greetings! There’s been a growing trend these past few years where people on vacation will often book a local photograher for a portrait session in the area they are visiting. I’ve been honoured to do many of these ‘Vacation in Stockholm Photo Sessions’ :)

A couple of months back, a sweet grandpa from Chicago booked me for an extended family portrait session in Gamla Stan, Stockholm. There would be a family reunion involving grandparents, their adult children, and, of course, several cute grandkids. We met as early as we could on the first windless day in Stockholm in months! We explored the charming and relatively quiet Old Town before it was overrun with tourists.

We walked, talked, and created beautiful family memories. Afterwards, I sent the grandma her gallery of images, and she was delighted! How nice it will be for this family to have all these (non-selfie) family portraits for many years to come!

If you or someone you know is planning a trip to Stockholm and would love to book a ‘Vacation in Stockholm’ portrait session, don’t hesitate to get in touch via the Connect tab above.

Male Portrait Session in Stockholm

Greetings! Yikes, I’ve fallen waaaay behind with blogging for some unknown reason! I’ve decided to not just blog family sessions here. I am also going to blog as many individual portrait sessions as I have permission to. This male portrait session was shot back in spring in Stockholm. My client invited me to his home to shoot various style portraits: headshots and casual. He changed outfits several times to achieve different looks, we took some images outside, and all in all, had a lot of fun on this portrait session :)

He wanted to purchase ALL the images afterwards and sent me a super sweet message to say:

"Wow! Thank you very much, Sandra! Many beautiful images. Some show, it looks part of me (my soul), that I feel I have barely seen before. It feels like in some of them I have such a youthful (kid-like) spirit, while others feel very wise, and yet others are certainly very young adult-like, also daring.”

For someone who puts 100% heart and soul into all their work, it is so great to receive a comment like this after a portrait session!
