My big girl turned seven yesterday. This is her birthday portrait. I couldn't be more proud.
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 :)
Dreamer
I tell my daughters to dream big and to think without limitations.
