11 episodes of my everyday life from a year back
Exactly a year ago, I started participating in “a week in a minute” video challenge. You are meant to shoot footage (nearly) every day and edit a minute-long video out of each week’s material. I did 11 episodes between 6th of April and 4th of July.
First baby photoshoot – lessons learned
Now I’ve done a photoshoot of a one year old toddler before, but none of a baby. About a month ago I did my first baby shoot of a half year old and her mother and here’s some of my experiences!

Photo Critique Videos for Inspiration (and a birch twig)

From a restaurant day to a french visit
Last saturday was a nice sunny day here and I visited an old car show called “the French Visit”. The summer is at least two weeks early this year and the tree leaves are already almost full-sized. Traditionally you get the best birch whisks just before summer solstice, when the leaves are barely full-sized and still …
