The summer started really fun with photographing the wedding of Arne and Janicke, which were previewed on my blog earlier this summer. The full post of their wedding is also underway.

After the great start,  I have enjoyed some really relaxing days with my family, travelling around, meeting lots of great friends I haven’t met for a long time. I have simply had a great summer holiday! I have also taken a lot of pictures… I will upload some more in the weeks to follow :)

Enjoy!

So a little blog post showing these pictures feels just right.

I love the little love story between father and son being expressed through these snapshots. I love the “casual” feeling… and the light that day gave the pictures an extra “snap” :)

Not sure if the expression on the little one in the lower right photo is caused by something really exciting… or if it’s just a yawn due to a boring photographer :)

These last couple of weeks, I have made a little challenge with myself; I would find a couple of photos I really found beautiful, and I would use the inspiration from these to take even better photos myself. This includes both taking the picture, but also process it and find my own style in the post-processing. It was also important for me not to just copy the original photos I found, but take the ideas I got from others further, into developing my own photographic style.

Just wanted to share one of the results from this little personal challenge :)

Yes, it has been freeeezzing cold here in Scandinavia, but at the same time it has been really beautiful. Since I am in the final phase of finalizing my Master’s dissertation these days, there is not much time for photography (unfortunately :( ). But yesterday, the light was so insanely beautiful with the sun just above the horizon, and some really thick fog above the ground, so I decided to take a short brake from the writing, and get some fresh air :) These are taken just a couple of minutes walk from my house:
