OLD STYLE WEEKEND IN BAKAMO

Friday night, 5th of August 2011

I visited for the first time in my life an old style week-end. Friday afternoon we arrived and it was pooring down from the sky. Finally it was over and we made our entrance.  It was like going back in time. Old mobiles, in all colours, renovated and not. People dressed like in the 40's - 50's, music drilling out from the loudspeakers. Funny beer on sale, t-shirts, car pieces. People were really having fun and had something to talk about, exchange experiences, enjoy life.

Here some pictures from the night before the concert and the interview with TRULY LOVER TRIO from California.

BACK FROM HOLIDAYS

Alice, or a part of her!

So now I am back from my short summer holidays and took me one day off from customers to finish som CD's for them. The telephone starts to ring again but I feel it's still cool and no stress.

Before I start working on my holidays pictures here some of the pictures taken just before I left 2 weeks ago.

FJÄDERHOLM ISLAND , STOCKHOLM MAJ 2011

During a short visit in Stockholm last may I visited for the firt time the little island of  Stora Fjäderholmen, about 20 minutes with the boat out on the archipelago. On the island there are several cafés/restaurant. During the spring time birds nest here and wherever you go you see seagulls or gooses. REally cute to see how to take care of their eggs, among all the toursit having picnic and sunbathing.

Handycraft shops and exhibition are part of the attractions on the island. Even a whisky distillery  (Mackmyra Swedish Whishy) can be found there.

NEW MEMBER IN THE FAMILY

Exactly 3 years ago Agnes and Arvid came to my old studio for the first time to have taken the parents wedding pictures. This year it was little sister Ruths turn to be photographed with her baptising dress. Nevertheless big brother Arvid and big sister Agnes had a great fun playing all together. So here the best shoots from the session.
Once again I want to point out that children pictures can be that fun and relaxed if the parents are calm and let children be children, without pushing them doing this or that. To force a child to smile in front of the camera or to force them sitting down on a chair will never turn into THAT PICTURE. Children stress and feel the pressure of the parents. I do take all the time that is needed to make the child feel comfortable. Sometimes it takes longer to connect with the child, sometimes it goes fast. 
I always give parents compliments when I see how they interacte with their children. It's important to let them know they are doing a good job. Cooperation as in everthing leads to good results.

So thank you Svante and Marie for beeing good parents!

3+1 = LOVE

Father Allan came to the studio with his 3 children. Music, dancing, posing and having fun where the main ussue during the session.
We choosed a black background (that's cool!).

JUST AN ORDINARY FAMILY

.... with a lovely little girl plenty of energy and happy smiles.
Isabella enjoyed the time playing in the studio, climbing on her daddy and having fun together with me behind the camera. I never will stop wonder why children are so wonderful!

MICKEY MOUSE / LUKAS

This was so funny. Instead of using my Mikey mouse mask to make Lukas smile, it was Lukas that wanted to have it and did me and his parents smile. Check it out!
