Family vacation portrait session

Oops, I am way behind on the Jolly blog! September has been a busy ole’ month for me, but I’m here now and excited to share this family vacation portrait session :) This fun family was visiting Stockholm from Georgia, U.S.A., and decided to book a photo shoot during their time here. We met on a very windy evening near Gamla Stan and spent a fun hour together (you should know, all Jolly sessions are fun!).

It’s a curious thing when a photographer meets a new family for the first time. You have a limited time to get to know them and bring out the best in them. And yet, with the right attitude and banter, it can feel like we’ve always known each other.

Have you been thinking about booking a portrait session? I have just a couple of dates left for autumn sessions, so if you’d like to book one, simply mail sandra@sandrajolly.com, or go to the Contact page above.

If you enjoyed this holiday in Stockholm blog post, you may also enjoy this post.

Peace and love xoxo

Fun Family Session in the Park

Greetings! Whoa, I didn’t realise how long it had been since I last blogged. It’s been a while, right?! It has been summer though, so I’m afraid blogging slipped way down the priority list. That’s OK though. We’re all just doing our best here on planet Earth, right? ;)

I photographed this happy-go-lucky family before the summer holidays and we had so much fun together. We walked around the park, chatted, and created images they will cherish forever (a huge framed family portrait will be going up on their wall). I walked away with a pep in my step, feeling very lucky I get to meet such great people and do creative work!

If you would love non-stiff portraits, drop me a line at sandra@sandrajolly.com and we can chat.

Peace and love xoxo

Gamla Stan Family Photo Session

I’m back! I know I’ve been M.I.A for while, but I have been out of the country recently, plus I’ve been working quietly behind the scenes here at SJP. I gotta say, it is very nice to go off the radar and unplug for a time. I can highly recommend it to every soul :) Now that I’m back though, I wanted to share this fun Gamla Stan family photo session with you! Gamla Stan makes a beautiful backdrop for portraits. This charming family was leaving Sweden for good, so they (quite rightly) wanted some images of them in the Old Town. It’s hard saying goodbye to such lovely clients (I felt like I’d always known them), but for every family that leaves, I know another great family will choose me to photograph them.

If you’ve been meaning to book a portrait session, either for yourself or with your family, you can go to the Contact tab above or mail sandra@sandrajolly.com. Don’t be shy ;)

Stadshuset Family Portrait Session

Was it freeze-your-ass-off-baltic-temperatures on this day? Oh, yes! Did we all have to move quickly before hypothermia set in? Heck, yeah! Did we laugh a LOT, play games, and create gorgeous, priceless images during this Stadshuset family portrait session? You can be absolutely certain we did!! :)

When you’ve got family visiting from abroad and you value family images, it is such a good idea to book a family portrait session! Who knows when you will all be together again? It’s an honour when a family commissions me to create their portraits. And when they do that time and time again and entrust me with their family, well, it really humbles me.
