The last of the summer sun | Stockholm barnfotograf

This fun shoot happened back in early September on a gorgeous sunny morning.  These four siblings were full of beans and so fun to photograph!  I have to say, I love when there are older siblings on a photo session who are happy to get stuck in and help out with their younger siblings - it makes my job a lot easier! 

It is also great to get to photograph tweens and teens, so if you have any at home, bring them to me for a Jolly photo session.  Before you know it, they'll have moved out and you'll only see them when they need money or their washing done ;) 

A red fall wall | Stockholm barnfotograf

I had some long overdue quality time with my big girl at the weekend.  On one of our early evening walks, we happened upon this wall which had the most gorgeous red and green foliage growing on it.  Needless to say, I couldn't just walk past such a grand wall without creating some images :)

A new addition to the family and a new direction

I know things have been a little quiet around here lately and with good reason.  We got a puppy!  A gorgeous, fluffy Tibetan Terrier named Riley.  As you can probably imagine, he has kept us all busy.  Not only do we have this new member in our family, but it is also one of the busiest times of year here at Sandra Jolly Photography. 

Last week I had two friends visit me from the U.K.  One of those friends is also a photographer and we got to talking about the highs and lows of running your own business.  We talked about how, as creatives, we pour our heart and soul into our work.  A whole lotta love and energy goes into each and every photo session.  And when clients voice their appreciation of our work and our service, it reassures us we are on the right track, creatively and as a business.  We also talked about the importance of doing something creative for ourselves.  I was then inspired to pick up my camera and photograph my two lovely friends.  When I showed them their portraits, they were both over the moon, and I was happy because they were happy.  I am now inspired to create more of these portaits - timeless, natural portraits of teens, parents, grandparents, etc - everyone deserves to have a beautiful portrait of themselves.  So, don't hesitate to get in touch and we can get the ball rolling :)

Angelic boys | Stockholm barnfotograf

When this family rocked up to their Jolly photo shoot, I was momentarily struck dumb.  I mean, come on, have you ever seen such angelic looking boys?!  Not only were they totally adorable to look at, but they had such sweet personalities, too!  I didn't have to chase them or cajole them at all - result! And when their mom retrieved two cute hats for them, I was in photography heaven! :)
