LOCATION
The location for your photoshoot is entirely up to you. It can be your home, your garden or your neigbourhood, a favourite beach, a forest trail, a mountain viewpoint, a park, or any other place that feels meaningful to you and your family. I generally favour natural environments and locations with room to move, explore, and interact naturally.
If you're unsure where to go, I'll be happy to suggest locations in and around Ålesund. From dramatic coastal landscapes and quiet forest paths to open viewpoints and hidden natural gems, there are many beautiful places that provide a wonderful backdrop without taking attention away from what matters most: you and your loved ones.
Travel within 30 km of Ålesund–Magerholm is included. For locations beyond 30 km, a travel fee of 6 NOK per kilometre (round trip) applies. Road tolls outside Bypakke Ålesund and ferry fees will be charged according to current rates.
TIME AND WEATHER
I don't work with fixed photography days or office hours. Instead, each photosession is scheduled individually, taking into account the season, weather conditions, available light, and our mutual availability.
Most outdoor sessions take place either in the morning or later in the afternoon, when the light is softer and more flattering. Together, we'll find a time that works well for both your family and the type of session you have in mind.
Because weather plays an important role in outdoor photography, we may occasionally adjust or reschedule a session if the conditions are not ideal.
Newborn sessions are typically scheduled from 10:00, when natural light indoors is often at its best.
PHOTO DELIVERY
Within 15 working days after your session, you will receive a private online gallery where you can view a carefully selected collection of professionally edited preview images from your photoshoot.
From the gallery, you are free to choose exactly the photographs you would like to purchase, as part of one of my photo packages.
Once your selection has been made, your final images will be fully edited and delivered through a download link. All photographs are provided in high resolution in both colour and black-and-white, without logos or watermarks, and include a two sets of imagies - for print, and for digital use.
You are welcome to print, share, and enjoy your photographs with family and friends for personal, non-commercial purposes.
HOW TO BOOK
Getting started is easy. Simply fill out the contact form below, send me an email, or get in touch through social media. Let me know which type of photosession you are interested in and your preferred date, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
We will plan your photosession together. I am happy to answer questions, discuss locations, and help you create a session that feels relaxed, enjoyable, and uniquely yours.
Because most of my sessions take place outdoors, the weather is an important factor. Fortunately, both weather forecasts and life with children can be unpredictable! If the conditions are not ideal on the day of your session, we can simply reschedule at no additional cost.
For newborn sessions, please contact me before your baby arrives and let me know your due date. I will reserve availability around this time and schedule the session once your little one has made their arrival.
GUIDANCE DURING SESSION
You don't need any experience in front of a camera to enjoy a photoshoot with me. Most of the families, couples, and individuals I photograph are everyday people, not professional models. I don't expect children to sit still and smile on command, and I don't expect adults to know exactly what to do either.
Rather than placing you in stiff poses and asking you to smile at the camera, I use gentle guidance and simple prompts to encourage natural interaction. I may suggest a walk, a cuddle, a game, a conversation, or another small activity that helps you relax and connect with one another.
Children are encouraged to explore, play, and be themselves. Some are energetic, some are shy, and some have their own plans entirely — and that's perfectly fine. I adapt to their personalities and follow their pace whenever possible.
Throughout the session, my goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable. The best photographs often happen when people stop thinking about the camera and focus on being together.
