Urban Stavanger // International Portrait Photgrapher

As much as I love photographing people on the beautiful beaches of Norway and the incredible mountains and fjords, once in awhile I get someone who wants an urban feel to their portraits. It's refreshing! It's inspiring! Tomas needed some lifestyle portraits so we hit up the awesome streets of Stavanger, which lends itself to some pretty awesome looks. The creative graffiti from the Nu Art Festival is so freeking cool and I always find myself surprised when I find a new wall with artwork on it. It's not everyday that you'll find a basketball player in Scandinavia either. ; ) Thanks for the adventure and being yourself Tomas!

Into the Dark Woods // Norway Inspiration shoot

I realized I didn't get a chance to share more of the images I took awhile back from a personal project I was working on. Sometimes I need a change from babies, families and weddings so I went a bit dark. Now going through the shots I realized it's totally a Game of Thrones feel! I guess the Norwegian woods are perfect for the show. We are sort of like the North wall. Happy Monday!

Mrs. Depew Vintage // Boudoir Photography

I have long since been dying to do a boudoir photo shoot and I about squealed with glee when I met the lovely and talented Mrs. Depew.  I starred adoringly at the vintage designs and wished I had stuck with my grandmother when she was teaching me to sew.  Tho, there's still hope and yes YOU too can sew the delicate and BEAUTIFUL designs that Mrs. Depew Vintage has in her store!
With parents as antique dealers and an entire family that's into art and collection...this girl really knows what she's talking about.  Depew sewed up these light pink and green vintage works in no time flat.  I wanted to create a simple and classy shoot...and seriously check out the amazingness that unfolded.  
Looking for something new this Valentines day?  Why not go vintage?
