Outdoor family snow session in Stockholm | Familjefotograf Stockholm

Another beautiful outdoor family photo session from a wintery Stockholm! This mom mailed me as soon as it started to snow and said she REALLY wanted a snow session! Our last family photo session together had been in spring, so when she saw the snow she knew she wanted some in her new family photos :). And look how beautiful they turned out! We worked quickly (you have to during snow sessions) and now she’s got some lovely winter wonderland photographs to display in her home.

You see, photo sessions aren’t just for summer or autumn. Those seasons can be beautiful too, but if you plan on having regular family photo sessions (and you absolutely should!), then why not make use of all the seasons?! And remember, photographs are the gifts that keep on giving. What else do you have in your home that brings you joy every time you look at it, even years later?

If you are considering celebrating your family, a portrait session is a perfect way to do just that. Feel free to get in touch via the Contact page above or mail me at sandra@sandrajolly.com. Don’t be a stranger.

Winter Family Photo Session | Stockholm Family Photographer

What a whole lot of fun this winter family photo session was! This was my second time photographing this smiling, positive energy family. Last time though, we did a summer session, so this time around the lovely mom (quite rightly) said she’d love a winter portrait session! I was so very happy when I arrived at their home and discovered big framed Jolly prints adorning their walls. Seeing my images in other peoples’ homes just never gets old for me ;)

After a quick chat, we all headed to our location for the session. The whole area was beautifully and serenely decorated in a soft blanket of snow. We worked quickly (snow sessions need to be a little shorter so that no one gets cold), laughed a lot, had a snowball fight, and wrapped up the afternoon over some hot drinks. I really feel like these winter images will provide a beautiful balance to the family’s summer images. Oh, and an outdoor winter photo session is totally original, too! ;)

If you would like to book a Jolly portrait session, you may get in touch via the Contact page above or mail sandra@sandrajolly.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

When you book TWO family photo sessions! | Familjefotograf Stockholm

Sometimes you really want to get your entire family together for a portrait session, but they live in different parts of the country and can’t all get together for a specific date. What do you do then? You book TWO family photo sessions that’s what!

That’s exactly what the sweet mother/grandmother of this family did. She’d seen my work at an exhibition, loved it, and started plotting to get the entire family together for photographs. Logistically, it proved difficult to gather everyone for one day, but this woman was not deterred! We soon worked out dates and times and had one family session at the end of autumn and the other at the start of winter! I’m happy to report she now has lots of beautiful Jolly photographs to fill her home, and need not feel so far from her family :).

If you appreciate how important family portraits are, feel free to get in touch via the Contact page above or mail me at sandra@sandrajolly.com. I hope to have availability from mid-February. Don’t be a stranger ;)

Peace and love xoxo

Best of 2020 | Stockholm Family Photographer

Here we are in 2021, folks! Am I the only one who thought 2020 FLEW by?! I actually feel like I blinked and it was all over - a kind of wham, bam, thank you ma’am! Maybe that was for the best though… I hope you all had a good Christmas, unusual as it was :). I usually do my Best Of post at the end of each year, but I decided to make December all about family, so I pulled back from social media and indeed mass media, and enjoyed the time with my family instead.

I am now officially taking bookings for portrait sessions for 2021, with two ‘snow shoots’ already booked for this weekend! Please say a little prayer for my fingers as they will battle freezing temperatures while I photograph families outdoors!

From now on, I intend to post more here on my website. I would really love and be very honoured if you would check in here to follow my work. Please feel free to send me your email address via the Contact page above or via my FB business page (link below) if you would like to be added to the Jolly mailing list, and I will happily send you a Jolly note, containing links to any new blog posts/session availability/special offers, etc.

I hope you enjoy this selection of my favourite shots from 2020 - I tried to cut it down, honestly, but it was a very busy year and there were so many images I truly loved!

In the meantime, I wish you peace, calm, health, and happiness in 2021.

Peace and love xoxo
