A Jolly Summer | Lifestylefograf Stockholm

Hey you :). How is your summer going so far? I sincerely hope that you are safe and healthy, wherever you are <3.

My summer was busier than expected work-wise (I’m not complaining!), so my work/off time was a little mixed up. We stayed in Stockholm for the most part, but did some road trips and exploring, which I love to do. Stockholm and Sweden, in general, are absolutely beautiful during the summer months, so I, for one, don’t feel the need to escape/go abroad. It’s a massive country and there is so much to see; I feel like we have only scratched the surface! I also love to just hang out at home. My husband is a great cook and loves cooking up a storm for all his girls, so chilling at home, watching the sunset from our balcony with a glass of wine in hand is no hardship ;)

Here are a few highlights from our summer so far. I will soon be sharing some beautiful family sessions, so please stay tuned ;)

If you would like to have a Jolly experience, inclusive of friendly and clear communication, a helpful style guide, a video consultation, a fun-packed photo session and beautiful, timeless photographs (and why would you not?!), please feel free to mail me at sandra@sandrajolly.com, or click the Contact link at the top of the page and we can make it all happen.

Peace and love xoxo

Early summer family photo session | Familjefotograf Stockholm

Whoops! It looks like I’m way behind on blogging! To be fair though, it has been the summer holidays, so the kids have been home and I’ve been juggling photo sessions with time off :)

This fun family session was back at the start of the summer, just as the temperatures were slowly creeping up. This family came to me through a friend’s recommendation, whom I have also photographed a couple of times. I love it when families find me through word of mouth. People usually prefer using the services of someone when they hear great things about that experience. This is one of the reasons why I put SO much energy, passion, and soul into every client experience. I want all my families to feel important and well taken care of.

This adorable Swedish family was so full of fun and positive energy. It was like the universe just KNEW we would be the perfect match for each other :). I especially love the photographs of mom with each of her children. No doubt these pictures will still give them the warm and fuzzies when they are all grown up!

Mother's Day Photo Session | Stockholm family photographer

Mothers have got to exist in photographs! It is nearly always the mum that is behind the camera, snapping away. I should know! What happens though when the children grow up and want a good picture of their mum, or a picture of them with their mum? Will the children have those photographs?

This mom specifically booked a Mother’s Day photo session. She wanted to exist in photographs with her three gorgeous boys. We had a quick and fun photo session at Ulriksdals slotträdgården, outside Stockholm. And boy, was it worth it! It was worth planning the outfits and it was worth the drive to our location. Imagine, this mom is going to have these beautiful memories to treasure of a fleeting time in her children’s’ childhood.

I am officially on holidays this week, but will be checking emails when I can. If you would love to book your own Jolly photo session, please feel free to get in touch via the Contact page above or mail me at sandra@sandrajolly.com :)

Epic Family Photo Session at Ulriksdals Slotträdgården | Stockholm Photographer

The positive energy levels were off the chart for this family photo session! We met on a warm May afternoon at Ulriksdals Slotträdgården and the fun began instantaneously. You see, it’s not just up to the photographer to create great photographs. It is a delicate dance of direction, cooperation, and positive energy between photographer and subject(s). They both have to meet each other halfway.

This beautiful family lit up the park with their smiles and positive energy. They are going to have these family photographs to cherish forever - how cool is that?! Despite, or maybe because of, everything that’s happening in the world right now, they decided to put their family first and make time for timeless and priceless family portraits. Now, that’s what I call priorities.

Are you going to let this summer go past without having some family portraits taken?

I’m now taking summer bookings (outdoors and at a safe distance), so feel free to mail me at sandra@sandrajolly.com to book your Jolly portrait session, either a family session, a child or tween session or your very own session that’s all about you :)
