Happy new year!!

December 28, 2011 Posted in 5D, Personal, Photography, Portraits

I guess most of us summarizes the year that has passed whenever we are getting close to turn the calendar into a new January. For myself, 2011 has been a year that has given me lots of great experiences; several exciting trips with both family and friends, watch and support the kids and my wife in taking new steps in their lives, getting to know a lot of (new and not so new) fabulous people even better, having small dreams come true in my professional career, as well as being able to enjoy the fact that both me and the family that surrounds me all are healthy and safe .

I hope all my friends in both real life and you who visit my little corner here in the internet have a wonderful and blessed Christmas holiday. I wish you all a truly happy new year throughout 2012!

For the first time in many days the rain had stopped, and the beautiful autumn light really gave the lovely couple an extra boost on their special day. We had a great photo session before the wedding! Here are some of the moments we captured. Enjoy!

We tricked the rain // Bjørn and Helle // Wedding // Bryllupsfotograf – Trondheim

September 11, 2011 Posted in 5D, bryllup, Photography, Portraits, wedding

When living in the part of the world that I do, coping with a constantly changing weather is part of everyday. On their wedding day, it was raining cats and dogs, and it didn´t look like we would have a very pleasant wedding photography shoot outdoors. But only 15 minutes before we had agreed to meet, the sky cleared, and we had a great and fun photo session together.

Bjørn and Helle, were are a really relaxed and down to earth kind of couple on your big day. I am glad I got the chance to capture snapshots of you and your beautiful family. All my best wishes for a happy life together!:)

Below are some snapshots of the wedding couple and their closest ones.

Best friends // Fotograf Trondheim Konfirmasjonsbilder

June 7, 2011 Posted in 5D, Photography, Portraits

The weather was a bit scary before this photoshoot, and for a long time it seemed we had to photograph in rain and wind… but just a couple of hours before we had agreed to meet, it cleared up, and we got a great session with beautiful light:)

The two girls wanted to have their pictures taken as part of their confirmation celebration. They are best friends, going to school together, and wanted to take both some individual portraits and some shots of them together. The girls very quickly responded to my instructions, and soon they both really made their personality shine through:)I had fun shooting you girls, hope you liked it too:)Below are some shots from the session. Enjoy!

The happy birthday princess

February 26, 2011 Posted in 5D, Personal, Photography

She has been looking forward to this weekend for so many weeks now… And finally she does not have to wait no longer:)The birthday has been a topic for sooo many comments and conversations lately, with a sparkle in her eyes.  She has simply been glowing every time her mind has come across happy thoughts of the coming birthday celebration with her friends, and her family, the ones closest to her heart.

As a father I´m privileged and blessed;

Being able to  see you growing up is just breathtaking.
Being able to receive the love from you, my loving little princess.
Being able to learn from you.
Being able to see you grow.
Being able to share my thoughts with you.
Being able to let you make me feel the happiest father on earth:)

Please let me never forget the gift of getting to know you and the privilege of walking besides you (and support you whenever you need) in your walk of life. I love you higher than you will ever understand, my little princess. Happy birthday!

The cool little sisters – part II // Fotograf Trondheim

February 24, 2011 Posted in 5D, Photography, Portraits

Here is the second post of the cool little sisters I photographed some time ago. The little one was really cool, and rocked so much on all pictures! I loved it when she brought her little guitar with her, she so wanted to have it on some of the photos. And worked really well:)I´m happy to get to know you guys, you were really fun to photograph!

The little heartbreaker // barnefotografering Trondheim //

January 30, 2011 Posted in 5D, Portraits

Sometimes the little ones can be unbelievably charming, and often they really know how to find the weak spots in us grownups. This little girl has a smile that can melt everyone around. At least she melted my heart, and gave me some wonderful smiles during our photoshoot that lasted around 1,5 hours in total. We had lovely sunny weather in this late september weekend (yep, I’m waaaay behind in my blogging), and the beautiful area around one of the museums in Trondheim created a wonderful scene for the shots of this wonderful girl.

If you would like to have pictures taken of your loved ones, don’t hesitate to contact me through the contact link on the top of this page:)

The cool little sister – part I // Barnefotograf Trondheim

January 18, 2011 Posted in 5D, Photography, Portraits

These shots are from a session I had with a really cool family last fall. The shots in this blog post is a few of the “older sister”, in the next blog post I’ll post some of the other sister as well. They used some time to “warm up” with the unknown photographer, but after the first “who is that guy with the camera”-fear, it didn’t take long before the two girls really rocked in front of the lens:)And this really came through in the photos as well! So.. here is part I from this really cool photo session:)

Wedding – Janicke and Arne bryllup || Bryllupsfotograf Trondheim

January 11, 2011 Posted in 5D, bryllup, Photography, Portraits, wedding

Bad tempo with my updates lately, so here is from the wedding of Janicke and Arne that I last summer… Finally!
The rain were pouring down this early summer day, but that didn’t take the glow of their great day. We started off early with Janicke at the hairdresser, doing the hair and the little details necessary. She was calm during the whole “getting ready session”, and seemed to enjoy it all through the rest of their wedding day:)

After the hairdresser was finished, we went back to their home, where the makeup and the beautiful weddingdress were to be put on.

Janicke really had eyes for the little details to make the day just as perfect as she deserved.

Janicke and her bridesmaid had a really cool and relaxing session during makup and fitting of the weddingdress.

When taking the formal weddingshots, the rain were pouring down, and we had to use our indoor backup location. But it worked out pretty well. Janicke and Arne, you were really fun to photograph!

Just before we were to wrap up the formal photosession, the weather cleared up, and we actually managed to get a few very successful shots outdoors! That really made the day for the photograper! And all honour to Janicke; you beat the freezing cold summer(?!) temperature that we had that day, and made those outdoor snapshots just perfect!

Janicke and Arne, thanks for letting me capture your special day! I had a blast, and it certainly seemed that you were enjoying it as well:)

Reflections and thoughts for 2011

January 2, 2011 Posted in 5D, Personal, Photography, Portraits

This post is my contribution to the many “2010 summary blog posts” out there…but it will probably not be the usual “here are my best 2010 photographs”.  Well, I have done a review for my self of my “year of 2010 in photography”… and the photos following the text in this blog post are taken from great happenings last year. But they are not my typical “best shots” from 2010. Instead, they are taken in situations where I have been with people I care about and people that inspire me… and these snapshots of course bring out good memories:)

"Look towards the end goal"

Before starting out the wedding photography journey February last year, I used lots of time preparing myself, both technically and mentally for what I really wanted to do with my photographic skills; capturing the moments for two people on their most important day. Before having a single wedding booked in January 2010, I imagined a certain number of weddings I would photograph during 2010. A number that I actually thought would be way to ambitious. And now, in the beginning of 2011, I can look back and see that I actually managed to reach my overly ambitious goal! But more important; I have met new fabulous people and experienced a lot new things!

Try to write down your own personal goal for 2011, and follow your dream!:)

"Keep the right things in focus!"

I have decided that 2011 for me will be a year where I will be looking forward to new and exciting possibilites, both with my family and at work (both in photography and “my real work”). But I also want to make sure that achievements in 2011 are not only my own “egocentric” goals; I want to share positive happenings in 2011 with my family and my friends, the ones I love.

"Keep balance in life..."

“Relationships to the one you love are one of the most important things”.

"Don't miss the larger picture"

To all my readers; have a good, safe and prosperous 2011! I leave you off by a quote found in “7 habits of highly successful people“;  an inspiring book about life and human interaction:

We are what we repeatedly do, exellence then is not an act, but a habit

Aristoteles

…getting back on track…

December 26, 2010 Posted in 5D, Personal, Photography, Portraits

The time (and the priorities for the last months) have  fortunately put photography and blog updates a little bit too far down on the to-do list, but this little blog-post will hopefully make it right again:)I have several shoots that has not been blogged yet, I’ll try to change that over the coming weeks. With this blog post I wanted to give you a glimpse of what contributes to make my life complete…:)

I also hope that you all are having a happy and joyful  holiday celebration together with the ones you love!

Best wishes from me to all you photographers and other friends reading my blog out there… have a merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year  :)

Hege - Så utrolig koselig å se deg blogge igjen! :)
Jeg tenker å ha som nyttårsforsett det å blogge mer jevnlig. Det er iallfall et nyttårsforsett som er gøy – i motsetning til det jeg burde hatt om nedskjæring på sjokoladespisinga… hehe…

Nydelige bilder av jentene dine, gleder meg til å se flere bilder etterhvert her inne!

Ha en fortsatt god jul!December 27, 2010 – 1:16 pm
