Jentekveld! // Sola Fotograf

Last week was Jentekveld (girls night) in Sola!  Put on by Bailine Sola, Ann-Kristin's Negledesign, and Make Up konsulent Monica.  Monica did fantastic make overs on the ladies! I have had a love affair for Mary Kay makeup since I was a teenager, so I was PUMPED when I found it here in Norway. Monica is incredibly talented and one of Norway's top ten Mary Kay consultants. Don't these girls look FABULOUS!  Next time I'll have to get my hair and make up done and hit up the city with all my girls too!  whoop!  

Prosjekt Pupp

It feels good to give.

I had the honor of photographing "Prosjekt Pupp" earlier this month.  Silje Opofte brought together artists, musicians, comedians, and more for the day and the event raised over 120,000 Kroner for the Brest Cancer Association! Talk about amazing!  Below is just a sampling of photos I took.

Silver Spoon Supper Club // Oslo

How gorgeous is this dinner setting?!?  The talented and motivated Ampy Basa, has combined her 2 passions, cooking and entertaining, to create a SUPER COOL new 'underground' supper club in Oslo!  The Silver Spoon Supper Club is a unique dining experience.  Ampy runs the supper club from the comfort and style of her own home!  She serves family style meals in a warm and relaxing atmosphere for those who aren't looking for the traditional restaurant scene.  Though these 'underground dinner clubs' are becoming very popular in the States and London, the Silver Spoon Supper Club is one-of-a-kind and available by word-of-mouth or invitation only.  If you're interested feel free to contact me.  A website will be up shortly with more delicious options!

  It was such a pleasure photographing her detailed apple themed dinner setting along with ...the food!  YUM.  You know it's a good job when you get to eat this deliciousness.

Nettverk Stavanger

I attended and took photographs at the Nettverk Stavanger Mixer a couple weeks back.  It was awesome!  Nettverk Stavanger is a great new network to build strategic relationships.  It's hip, it's fun, it's free and best of all you have the chance to make connections throughout all industries in the Rogaland area and beyond.

If you at the Mixer downtown on the 8th, chances are that I photographed you.  Seriously I was all over that place. The speakers were amazing and honestly Esa Ikäheimonen of Seadrill was so super cool.  As a non-Norwegian doing business in Norway it was nice to hear others thoughts on life, work, culture and the hyttes here!

Sugarland!

Hey Y'all! I went a little crazy with this post. Seriously, I have soooo many favorites. I must admit...even tho Sugarland is super twang...I LOVED THEM. They put on a truly AMAZING show. Radiating energy, neat stage, cool lights, huge crowd, great music = Shweetness.

Oh...and check out their music....http://www.myspace.com/sugarland
