I finally decided to pick up my big camera for a friend's daughter Grade 8 Graduation pictures. Here 's a sneak peak.

Hannah is a HS Senior at ISS... well actually by the time I took those pictures, Hannah had already graduated and was awaiting her IB results. This was my very last session in Stavanger and we had (almost too much!!) sunshine :-)

Adding a new favorite in the whole photography process: Finalizing the end product.

This was one of my last photo session in Stavanger.
We had been waiting for the rain to stop since March, kids being less busy, calendar to coordinate, etc... and it finally all came together on a beautiful (almost too sunny -yeah I know I always complain about the weather!!) day at the end of May.

Last of the last. There will be no more after those.... THREE prints, matted but unframed of the 'Little Boat House'

I must be the worst photographer updating my page with current session. I could go back to the last 6+ months of photo sessions or start with the current one... Let's start with what I've been working on: Shot, culled, edited, slideshow & album design all done in under a week :-)
Caelan and the obligatory Princess shot at the end of every session!!!

That's one way of getting interesting photography!!!
I should try with Jeremy, I'll probably get a few good ones from my Drama 'King'.... Bad Mommy, Bad Mommy :-)

Photographer Jill Greenberg gives kids lollipop and then takes it away.

Embrace the Limitation... Embrace the Shake. Sometimes our limitations are our best assets
Great talk and the art work ain't bad either ;-)

In art school, Phil Hansen developed an unruly tremor in his hand that kept him from creating the pointillist drawings he loved. Hansen was devastated, floating without a sense of purpose. Until a neurologist made a simple suggestion: embrace this limitation ... and transcend it.

This last couple of months have been crazy busy with photoshoot but I have to say that those last 2 sessions this weekend top it all... I want to hire the mom from my first session as my new stylist, I get on shooting and shooting. I love that the couple from my second session brought their instruments so I even had a little impromptu music session and they were even game to let me test a photo concept with them. It's going to be hard to leave them all behind. Back to photo culling, editing and ordering

6 framed prints ready to be delivered, 6 more at the printer... It's definitely "Farewell Party" season in the expat community in Stavanger. Have you ordered yours yet? We even have cards to go with any of your gifts to show your friends you'll miss them ;-)

Very refreshing take on what our girls should aspire to be...
A photographer shoot his 5 years old in the style of 5 amazing women. Trully inspiring

So my amazing daughter, Emma, turned 5 last month, and I had been searching everywhere for new-creative inspiration for her 5yr pictures. I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the "ideas" were the "How to's"…
