My approach to family photography - the Jolly way

When you are six feet under, how do you want your loved ones to remember you? What would you want your photographs to say about you?

Now, I could be wrong, but I doubt anyone wants to be remembered as a grumpy bugger. Right? I can safely say all my photo sessions are grumpy bugger-free. And why is that? First of all, I prepare all my clients for our photo sessions. They get tips on what to wear and what to bring to their photo session, and they are told exactly how the shoot is going to flow and how I will direct them, so there is no sense of uncertainity on the day. On top of that, I create a fun and positive atmosphere, so if there was any trace of grumpiness right before our session, it would soon dissipate and before you know it you would have a pain in your face from smiling (natural smiles that is, no forced smiles on my watch).

So, now you know. Jolly photo sessions feel natural, fun and relaxed. You will be well prepared in advace and treated like a favourite cousin on the day. And best of all, you will have beautiful, timeless, grumpy bugger-free photographs to cherish forever ;)

5 reasons why you should have your baby photographed at home

Discover why choosing a natural baby photo session at home will leave you feeling happy, relaxed and thankful….

Imagine this - you come home from hospital with an adorable addition to your family. You know that you absolutely need to capture this beautiful and fleeing time of your life. Why not take the easy and, dare I say, fun option and let me come to your home to create timeless and priceless photographs of your new baby.

Here are 5 reasons why this could be the best choice for you:

1. There is no need to bundle up your baby and travel to a studio

2. You will have everything you need for you and the baby close by

3. The pictures will be very personal, as they are taken in your own home

4. Your baby will appreciate seeing how their home looked when they are all grown up

5. You will feel far more comfortable and relaxed in your home environment

What other parents are saying:

“To invite Sandra into our home has been a true pleasure. It’s not just practical to take photos at home, it also gives you a new perspective on your own home. To take photos at home, in an environment where you and your children feel comfortable, makes pictures personal.

Sandra has the ability to work purposefully and professionally, and she makes everyone around her feel comfortable in the situation. She gets the best out of your children who seldom want to be photographed. Children appreciate her playfulness and security, which means they can fully be themselves. My child has several times asked if Sandra can come here again. They obviously had fun when she was here!

I can absolutely recommend Sandra to everyone who wants personal family photographs and portraits. They are worth every krona. The pictures we had taken hang both in the children’s room and our living room and make us happy every day. The pictures are such nice memories for today and the future.

The pictures were absolutely fantastic! Better than I could ever have imagined. I often get asked who took our photographs, and I notice that the photographs catches peoples’ interest. For me the pictures are not just nice art, but also dear memories for life.” - Cilla, Saltsjö-Boo

“These photographs stand out so much from all the pictures we have taken. It’s the ones we want to see exposed in the house. They make a great gift.” - Mick, Stockholm

Natural newborn sessions at home | Nyföddfotograf i Stockholm

If you, a friend, or a family member has just given birth, then come closer, I’ve got something to tell you…

You want to capture all the important memories from this VERY short stage, right? I mean, you don’t want the little guy or girl to grow up and one day ask, ‘Mom, where are all my newborn photos?’ Imagine your extreme discomfort/embarrassment/shame/sadness when you have to explain to your patiently waiting son/daughter that you took close to 780 photos of that newborn stage on your iPhone, but that same phone met with a sudden, nasty ending and you lost ALL those newborn pictures. The horror of it all.

But you are better than that. You know you can have beautiful, natural, timeless images of your baby, taken right in your own home by the one and only Sandra Jolly Photography ;). And after that fun experience you will have actual printed photographs of that little baby to look at forever.

Natural newborn session | Familjefotograf Stockholm

Do you remember that feeling of bringing home a brand new baby? The excitement, the worry, the fear, the happiness and about 78 more emotions all tumbling around inside you? Maybe it wasn’t your first baby and you had to reach into distant memories of how to properly hold a newborn. Those precious first few days of getting to know each other and making silent promises to always love and protect that little bundle of joy.

This was my third ‘natural newborn’ session in recent weeks. Imagine not having to get all dressed up, quickly down your fifth cup of coffee of the morning, spend 15 minutes looking for your keys, carefully bundle up your new baby and go to a studio for your first family portraits? If you prefer the comfort of your own home, you can always choose a natural newborn photo session. I will come to your home and create beautiful, emotive, natural photographs of you and your family that you will treasure for the rest of your days.
