zoe's own designer photo shoot

this morning when we got up and dressed, zoe decided it was time for a photo shoot. she decided what she and eijla would wear, and even that they would have headbands with bows in their hair. she of course had to have purple and eijla had to have pink. she choose where to take the pictures and even decided how she and eijla should pose. she was quite the little production assistant.
she wanted a few portrait of just herself as well. i swear this kid is going to be a flower growing, princess dressing, hair designing producer, or something! i just love her personality.

spring cleaning with a photo shoot.

this last weekend was a productive one, thomas managed to replace zoe´s window, which was good as the old one was so old that it was falling apart. we also did a bit of yard work, mostly raking up old leaves.
zoe was a reall big help. luckily one of our rakes had broken recently so it was exactly the right size for her.
she also insistedon holding thomas´ hand while he sawed down one of our trees. i think it made the job just a bit more difficult for him. but he of course claimed that he was getting his power and energy from the little monster holding his hand. i just looked at the picture and realized that letting a two and a half year old hold a big saw might not have been the smartest of parenting techniques, but she survived, so all´s well that ends well.
we then had a bit of a photo shoot, zoe was having so much fun climbing in the tradgård tunnan, that i had to get a few shots.


she was a real big help jumping on them so that we could get more in. i loved this shot of her with the leaves, pappa kept throwing them on her, but she did not seem to mind.





and this last shot i just thought was a cute one. but then i think any shot of zoe is cute, of course i am biased cause she is my kid, but i am sure the rest of the world think she is just as adorable as i do!

anita´s ceramics

shortly after our return to sweden, we did a bit of a photo shoot for anita´s ceramics. she has an amazing talent, and has recently opened up a little shop/studio in her home. her website: www.bordertaktils.net. anyway, thought i would post a few pics from the shoot, as well as a cute one of the artist and the photo arranger (thomas has a knack for putting things in the right places for photos).

neighbor's snowy photoshoot

we are leaving tyringe today, but before heading out of town, we had a bit of a snowy day photoshoot with the neighbors. linus was in a bit of a silly mood so it was basically impossible to get any normal shots of him, but at least his unique character really comes out in the shots that i did manage to get. here a a few shots i thought turned out well. the lighting was a bit difficult for me to work with, but i think i managed to get a somewhat good balance of light and color, though some of the exposures were a bit off.
