Huge smiles in Djursholm | Djursholm child photographer

This fun-lovin' English family were super-smiley (see photographic evidence below)!  I didn't even have to use any of my bad jokes to elicit laughter!  I was merely a camera-wielding witness to a very happy-go-lucky family and their gorgeous Labrador puppy.  For some reason I can't recall, the girls nicknamed me Nutella very early on in the shoot and that's what I remained for the rest of the shoot, Nutella :).  I love when families don't need much direction and just have a jolly good time on our shoot!

To smile or not to smile

No, children in front of my camera do not have to smile all the time!  Just like adults, children have lots of different moods.  If they smile, great, if they don't that's OK, too.  Do I print non-smiling pictures of my own children?  Absolutely!  And they are often my favourite. To me, those pictures have more mystery and depth than a happy picture :)

A loved up family | Stockholm children's photographer

As a photographer, being intuitive and having an ability to read energy can be a big advantage, especially as you only have a short amount of time to connect with people.  As soon as I entered this family's homely apartment, I could feel the positive energy immediately.  Mom, dad and their two beautiful brown-eyed daughters were so relaxed together.  The more laid-back the parents are at a photo session, the easier it is for me to connect with the children, and this mom and dad knew how to have fun with their kids!  Jolly times :)
