Are you an expat and pregnant in Norway? Fastlege – helsestasjon – ob-gyn – are you confused? First of all – congratulations! I still remember how I held my very first positive pregnancy test in my trembling hands. I was blissfully happy and in shock at the same time. So I called my fastlege and made an appointment. Because that is what you do, right? At least that is what I thought at the time. I had been living in Norway for 2.5 years and I am from Germany – which isn’t even THAT different from Norway one would think. Well, let me just tell you that I left my 2-minute appointment i ..read more

Det er helt klart det lyse halvåret som er favorittårstiden for familier å booke en familiefotografering i Oslo. Og selv om jeg elsker å ta familiebilder om vinteren skjønner jeg godt at de fleste velger mai til oktober til familiebilder. Det er lyst og varmt ute, barna trenger ikke å bli kledd i tykke klær og sannsynligheten for at barna er i godt humør er betydelig større enn på en kaldt vinterdag. De fineste bildene får vi oftest når barna kan leke og oppdage på en helt naturlig måte. Jeg liker å instruere noen ting, men mesteparten av en familiefotografering med meg oppstår av seg selv.

Whaaaat – you don’t like golden hour?? Ok, this seems to be a bit harsh. It is not that I don’t LIKE golden hour. But I don’t like the obsession with it. I have photographed the most beautiful sessions in golden hour. (And have actually just written about one of them in my last blog post.) But I have also photographed the most beautiful sessions in the harsh midday sun and on gloomy days. Being a photographer that photographs mostly families with small children, there are so many positives to not being dependent on golden hour to be able to deliver beautiful and consistent galleries. Reason nu ..read more

Everything seems grey and brown and dead. But we couldn’t have found a better time for his golden winter session in Oslo. However, and this is a big however – the light is literally perfection. Like at this golden winter session in Oslo. A two-hour-long golden hour at around 4 pm – it could not be more perfect for family sessions with small children. No keeping the kids awake for a late summer session, or postpo ..read more
