At-Home Lifestyle Session With Grandparents

When the grandparents come and visit, it is the PERFECT opportunity for a family photo session!   We can even make it easy and have an at-home lifestyle session with grandparents!  Everyone can just chill in their own space and leave me to create images that will be appreciated for generations :) 

It’s lovely to get images of grandchildren with their gran and grandad.  And yet, it’s often forgotten.  Everyone assumes there’ll be a tomorrow, or thinks they’ll get that photo the next time gran’s in town.  There might not be a next time though, next time you get everyone together, please make sure to have the occasion photographed!  

I absolutely LOVED the outfits the beautiful mom chose for this session.  She kept the kids’ clothes distraction-free, simple and timeless.  Just gorgeous and perfect for photographs!

If you have been thinking about getting your family together for photographs, don’t hesitate to get in touch and enquire about a Jolly portrait session. I’d love to hear from you!

Peace and love xoxo

Lifestyle session in Sigtuna

Hey, you!  How is your summer going?  Hope you’re having a good one!  Today has been my first chance to blog in almost two months!!  To say my life has been intense lately would be a MASSIVE understatement.  I won’t bore you with the details though, I’ll just share some of the work I’ve been creating this summer (and there’s been a LOT!)…. This lifestyle session in Sigtuna was a DREAM in so many ways!  The mom commissioned me to create some beautiful portraits of her daughter who had just turned 10.  She wanted me to include the stunning garden as a backdrop to the portraits and, boy oh boy, did everything come together perfectly for this session!   The kind of photo session photography dreams is made of.  Just bliss… 

If you or another family member is celebrating a birthday soon, feel free to contact me via the Contact page above or mail sandra@sandrajolly.com.  I can do a portrait session for just one person or include the whole family!  

Don’t be a stranger ;)

Peace and love xoxo

RELAXED AT-HOME LIFESTYLE PHOTO SESSION

Apologies for the radio silence here on the Jolly blog!  It’s been an INTENSE month for me, to say the least, in every way!   I have so many images to share from all my client sessions, but first I want to share this happy, relaxed at-home lifestyle photo session from last month.  It was my second time photographing this chilled and happy family.  Such charming and sweet boys, I love them! :)

We started the session in their home and then moved outside, where the boys showed me their favourite corner of the garden, and they had fun playing with sticks.  I really LOVE photographing children like this, just doing their own thing, using their imagination, and playing naturally.  Just imagine, in 30 years’ time, when these boys are all grown up and living their own lives, how cool it will be to look back at these photographs, how the memories will come flooding back! :) 

I’ll be taking summer holidays in about a week, and then back to work on August 1st.  If you would like to book a photo session, either at home or on location for August, September, or October, now is the time to book.  Mail sandra@sandrajolly.com before I sign off for summer and we can start planning.

Peace and love xoxo

Happy Family Photo Session in Stockholm

It’s one thing when a family books me for a photo session, but when they book me a second time and sometimes book several sessions a year, it is such a HUGE honour and privilege for me.  This was my second time photographing this gorgeous family and what a happy family photo session it was!   They really brought positive energy and we moved quickly through the session and the park! ;)  Just when we were really getting into our session, the heavens opened and it started pelting down (the weather forecast had promised a clear evening!!), otherwise, I would have happily spent the evening photographing them in the park!

It really amazes me how much children change in even the space of a couple of years, especially in the 10 to thirteen age group.  That’s why you should ideally have your family photographed regularly.  Keep those family portraits updated ;)

And if you would like to update your own portraits, maybe just you, or the whole family, please mail sandra@sandrajolly.com. 

Peace and love xoxo
