Mother's Day, Sweden

Greetings! That special day, Mother’s Day, is fast approaching here in Sweden. This year it will be celebrated on Sunday 26th May. It’s a day to honour all the moms, who do their best every single day.

If you’d like to do something special for this occasion, why not book a portrait session? This could be for mom and kids, the whole family, beautiful portraits of just mom, grandma and the grandkids, or any combination that celebrates motherhood. All you need to do is send me a message via the Book Your Session tab or mail sandra@sandrajolly.com, and I’ll be happy to send you my beautiful 2024 Portrait Session Guide.

Below is a small selection of some of my favourite mom images. I hope you enjoy!

Peace and love xoxo

Snow Photo Session

Greetings! It’s been a long winter here in Sweden! We’ve had very low temperatures and LOTS of snow. Apart from heavy rain, I will happily shoot in most weather conditions, so I was delighted when this lovely lady got in touch and said she wanted a snow photo session with her partner :)

Winter sessions are much like all my other outdoor portrait sessions. The main differences are that they are slightly shorter, and warmer clothes are a must. Like all sessions though, I provide a style guide with helpful tips on what to wear. This lady also said she wanted a nice building in some of the images. With that in mind, I suggested a castle in a park near me and that’s what we went with! Despite the chilly weather, we had a laughter-filled session and I’m happy to report this sweet couple loves their final images :)

If you’d like to book a Jolly portrait session, indoors or outdoors, go to the Book Your Session tab above and we can schedule something in.

Peace and love xoxo

Winter Wonderland Family Session

Greetings! As we’re still in the depths of winter here in Sweden, I thought you would appreciate seeing this winter wonderland family session from a couple of weeks ago! It was just before sunset and very cold, so I worked as fast as possible and did my best to keep the energy high. Snow sessions are shorter than my regular outdoor sessions (you don’t want little fingers and toes getting cold!), and I advise everyone to wear several layers, thick socks, warm boots, etc. and maybe have hot drinks to hand to keep everyone toasty.

Snow photo session images are a brilliant addition to your family albums. They are unique and fun! If a snow portrait session sounds good to you, feel free to reach out via the Contact page above and we can start planning!

Peace and love xoxo

Beautiful outdoor family portrait session

Greetings! Although this is my first blog post of 2024, this session is actually from the autumn, but that’s OK, right? This beautiful outdoor family session was too sweet not to share! As soon as this family stepped out of the car to meet me, I knew we were going to have a great session! These beautiful sisters had such calm energy and were an absolute delight to photograph. The portrait session of dreams!

Now is the time to book your portrait session in the Jolly diary, whether it’s just for you, a family session or an extended family session. All you need to do is get in touch via the Contact page above, and we can take it from there.

Wishing you all an inspiring 2024, full of expanding your mind and noticing the beauty around you xoxo
