Christening in Turkey!

Wow! How exciting!
Just booked the ticket to Istanbul (via Thessaloniki) to photograph a christening there! :-)
We were there a couple of years ago for some holidays and the photos resulted to an article at the leading swedish travel magasine Vagabond (nr 04/2007).
Now we shall be a part of an approximately 35 persons group who all will work to make the christening day unforgetable for the parents of the baby and their guests, together with musicians, video filming crew, film-director and everybody else!
The celebrations will last 2 days with a daily cruise in Bosporus the first day and the ceremony plus the reception the day after.
Just praying for the icelandic volcano to take it a little easier now and for a nice weather in Istanbul!!!

Therese.

I had just come back from C's photo session and wrote a line about it on our wall at facebook when i got the response from Therese, who wished to have a similar session for her beloved.

During the messages we changed to find a theme and an available day for both of us, Therese named two things that stuck in my mind.

The first was "... jag litar på dig ...", ("i trust you"), which made me feel extremely flattered but at the same time raised the bar of the quality of the photos even more...

When i came to her home for the session i got a little surprise; her boyfriend was also there but he was not "allowed" to come close while photographing. When i asked her "...wasn't it suposed to be a surprise present to him?" she answered "i know, but i can not keep secrets from him!". So sweet!

Well, here shows one photo only because the rest will be shown in a couple of months.

Therese looks gorgeous, which reminds me of the second thing she mentioned during the facebook-messages: "jag är dock inte så fotogenique..." (" i am not so photogenic").

C's morgongåva.

I met with C for the first time in Grand Hotel in Stockholm, in January 2009. She was one of the hundreds of visitors of the Bröllops Mässa (the Wedding Fair) and we did not talk for more than a couple of minutes.
It was some months ago when she contacted us again and asked if we could photograph her wedding day and a few days later asked also about a photo session as a present to her husband.
C took care of everything. She had a clear idea of how she wanted her pictures to look like, in what enviroment she would be photographed and she was amazing at posing! Actually the session went so smooth and the photos resulted at a beautiful 12-pages designed album.
The picture above is one from the album and is shown here with C's kind permition.

Kristina and Lars

After two wonderful weeks in Greece to celebrate the Easter, we are again back home trying to put some order at the chaos that we everytime find when we come back home after being away for some days.
Tomorrow i am going to meet Kristina and Lars to photograph our second wedding this year. The weather is a little strange these days, changing from sunshine and 9 degrees Celcius to rain and almost snowing today. But the changes at the light where amazing and hopefully it will be beautiful light even tomorrow.
But it will certainly be different than the day we met for some test-shooting almost a month ago; it was also then sunshine but the temperature was minus and the whole lake was frozen with some half a meter ice on its surface...
