Autumn strikes again | familjefotografering Stockholm

OK, can we please take a moment to appreciate how beautiful everything is outside right now! The colours, the clear blue skies (when it’s not raining!), the crisp fallen leaves, everything! This is one of my favourite times of year to create photographs. A wander through the park, create some timeless images and then you go home and drink your body weight in tea/hot chocolate/red wine. OK, that last bit could be dangerous, but you get my drift!

I hope you enjoy these photographs of my little girl. I know I will treasure them :)

Hello autumn | familjefotografering Stockholm

Autumn has well and truly arrived in Stockholm! Temperatures have dropped, the leaves are changing colour and the winter clothes have been pulled out of storage. In light of all this change, I took one of my daughters to the local park for a quick photo session last week. The sun was going down fast, but I think we still managed to capture that autumn feel. Actually, it felt more like winter, hence the hat and scarf, so we worked double fast!

It really is a beautiful time of year for portrait sessions. You’re not too late to book in a Jolly child or family portrait session. If you’d like to get in touch, you can reach me via the Contact page above and I will happily send you some Jolly details :)

Ulriksdals Slott family session | Stockholm family photographer

If your parents have flown in from New York, what's the logical thing to do?  Well, book a Jolly portrait session of course!  It was only last winter that I photoraphed this delightfully chilled family, but when it was announced that the grandparents were coming to town, the mom had the foresight to realise it would be the perfect opportunity for another photo session.  

I was warmly greeted by these calm people (my favourite kind of people btw) when I arrived at the session.  Little did we know the heavens were about to open (west of Ireland style!).  And yes, I had fastidiously checked the weather beforehand, but there had been ZERO mention of torrential rain!  It was not a problem though, as we thankfully found a rather fabulous gazebo where we happily continued our session.  More lifelong memoires for another Jolly family :)

The winding down of summer | Stockholm family photographer

And now, the end is near... Yup, summer is beginning to wind down!  It was a HOT one here in Sweden.  I have finally come to the conclusion that I'm a mild climate kind of person.  Anywhere between plus 10 and 25 degrees Celsius suits me best.  The extreme heat of summer 2018 made me somewhat cranky (well, my husband would probably say very cranky!).  We won't focus on that though!  The temperature has now cooled and I'm feeling like the demon has been exorcised from me ;)

I've really been enjoying these slightly cooler evenings and love to walk in the woods after dinner.  Getting fresh air before bedtime always helps me sleep better.  The below photographs were shot on one such evening walk. 

With the departure of summer, comes autumn with all its beautiful colours and light.  Why not take the opportunity to book a Jolly family portrait session?  Whether it's your first ever photo session or you need up to date images of your family, why not drop me a line and I can send you my beautiful information pack.  Jolly sessions are guaranteed to make you relax, laugh and wish you'd booked one sooner ;)
