All of you together, exactly as you are
Family photography
The best family photos happen when nobody is thinking about the camera. We go for a walk, play and fool around in a place where you feel at home. I catch the glances, the hugs and the chaos that make your family yours. In ten years you will not want to see how well you could pose, but how you truly were.
Possible all year round, in golden evening light outdoors or cosy at your home.

Why a family session
Ten years from now you will not want to see how well you could pose, but how you were: the running children, the tickling hands, the giggles. The most beautiful family photos happen when nobody is thinking about the camera.
We walk, play and fool around at a place where you feel at home. I catch the glances, the hugs and the wonderful chaos that makes your family unique.
How it works
- 1
Getting acquainted
We discuss who is coming, what mood you are looking for and which place suits that. At your home, in the woods or by the water.
- 2
Choosing a place and moment
Outdoors I prefer the golden hour, the last hour before sunset. With young children we look at what is feasible; a well-rested child is worth gold.
- 3
The session
No stiff line-ups. We play, walk and chat while I photograph. Children usually forget about me within ten minutes, and that is when it happens.

Your album
Within three to four weeks the photos are in your personal online gallery, ready to view and download in high resolution.
Indoors or outdoors, summer or winter
A family session works all year round. In summer outside in the evening light, in winter cosy at your home. Every season has its own mood, and your home tells a story just as well as the most beautiful forest.

Frequently asked questions
- What does a family session cost?
- The current packages are on the pricing page, including exactly what each one covers.
- How many people can join?
- A family session is for families up to six people. Bigger group, for example with grandparents? Get in touch and we will see what is possible.
- What is the best time of day?
- Outdoors the golden hour is the most beautiful, the last hour before sunset. With young children we weigh that against bedtimes; a rested child always beats perfect light.

- How soon do we see the photos?
