Så søt liten bjørn

Måtte bare legge dette ut her - følg linken til å se hvor jeg fant det.

Så søtt!

Shit could be worse

Thought this quote would be fitting on a grey grey rainy day like this :)

Hehe: YUP

Shit could be worse.

Remember folks, as we say in Norway, there is no bad weather only bad clothes :) 

Chocolate Mousse Cake

Se denne deilige sjokolade mousse kaken fra Cést Bon Bakery som jeg kjøpte på gladmat festivalen i Stavanger  på lørdag. Den så såååå deilig ut at jeg måtte bare ta den hjem for å ta bilde av den.

Er veldig lei meg for at jeg ikke klarer spise den i min gravide tilstand, men men... Iallefall fikk jeg et digg bilde :)

Her er et lite snapshot tatt i regnværet da vi gikk igjennom locations for bryllupsdagen.

Fingrene krysset at værgudene er på vår side neste helg :)

Gladmat festivalen Stavanger 2012

Da var Gladmat festivalen over for i år og nå har regnet og gråvværet komt!

Høydepunktene for meg i år var Vestgaard sin lefse avokado kaviar rett :) mmmm den var deilig.

Og koselig med en øl i solen med venner og litt spesiell barsnack på fisketorget: tang chips, rugsnack m klippfisk, peanøtter m hummersalt :O

Inspirational Quotes

I have been looking for some cool wall art to put up on the walls after I am done painting them.

These are perhaps a bit girly but I love them:

My life motto :

Live simply, dream big. Be grateful, give love. Laugh lots.

Sometimes the girl whos always been there for everyone else, needs someone to be there for her  :)

And always love what you do, or change what you do:

And remember, even though it may look easy for some, remember that success usually comes from hard, hard work!

I never dreamed about success, I Worked for it! Estee Lauder

And aint this the truth: 

Nothing makes a person more productive than the last minute...

Sort vs Hvitt

Hva er din stil - fargerik og dristig eller sort hvitt?

Beskjæringens betydning for bildet

Hvordan man redigerer bilder er helt opp til ens artistiske sans. Det er selvfølgelig noen retningslinjer, som for eksempel det gyldne snitt - rule of thirds etc, men utenom det er det og smak og behag.

For meg er ofte det viktigste å få frem det jeg synes er unikt med bildet.

Dette første bildet er cropped in camera - dvs at det et så og si slik bildet ble tatt. Her liker jeg nakenheten, sårbarheten over hvor hardt hun holder hendene sammen, samt hvor mye av det som er viktigst, nemlig hennes ansikt, - er gjemt.

Så en annen beskjæring. 

Her er det nærmere, og her bruker jeg "negativ space"for å skape "rule fo thirds" skjærepunktet samt skape mer flow i bildet. Det under er min favoritt, - hva synes du?

Vintage bil er det perfekte tilbehør til en barnefotografering

Jeg liker ikke å ha for mye i studio som tilbehør til fotografering, - hovedgrunnen til det er at da vil fleste barnebildene jeg tok se like ut.

Det er mye mer spennende når familien tar med seg noe som er deres, noe som har minner, noe nostalgisk.

Slik som denne gamle trebilen...

Kunne ikke være mer pefekt enn det ! :-)

nyfødt fotografering utenom det vanlige...

jeg var så heldig å kunne få fotografere denne lille sjønnasen for noen helger siden. Aldri før har jeg fotografert en så ung og så kjekk gutt. Bare en uke gammel og så velvillig! Ingen grining, ingen tissing... så flinke gutt :-)

Ikke bare den men så er han og så heldig at han har kreative foreldre som hadde mange spennende ideer for bilder...

New beginnings...

If you have been following my blog you know I do not have the habit of writing down too much of my thoughts here. Not because I have something to hide, but more that I often share my thoughts and experiences through images. Today is an exception. I have to get the thoughts out of my head and down on "paper". This has always been my way of dealing with things. I dont talk. I think, write, and then perhaps talk. Writing helps me sort my brain and my thoughts.

Last night we went to a little memorial for the little baby boy that I wrote about in my previous post. It was very brave of their parents to open up their home and their hearts so soon after the loss of their little boy. They shared with us their images and a little diary that showed the journey of the life of their boy which ended way too soon.

I felt deeply sorry for the parents, and of course did not have any form of comfort to offer than a hug. I felt there was no words that sufficed.

However, I would be honest if I didn´t write this next part, because this is really what my head, conscience and heart is struggling with.

I am pregnant myself. 4 months. And this made me terrified. Made me scared. Made me think I over and over and over and over; PLEASE god dont let this happen to us. 


How selfish can one be? Before you scorn me, know that tears are running down my face as I write this. Perhaps it is those pregnancy hormones, perhaps its motherly instincts, or just basic survival instinct that makes me think like this. Either way my conscious me do not approve. 


However, my consciousness is not winning. My raw emotions are. I am scared of loosing my baby. The baby I dont really yet know to be alive. 


Dont get me wrong. I know I am pregnant. Have been vomiting for months and have experienced all the symptoms of pregnancy. My belly is increasing in size. But other than that I have not been to an ultrasound yet and still have not felt any sign of life. And still. I am terrified, petrified, horrified of loosing this growing life inside me. And I worry now, with every little stomach cramp that there could be something going wrong. Further I am scared that I will do something to harm my baby, eat something that I shouldn´t, fall down, breathe some fumes, who knows. Its  a whole lot of responsibility this baby making thing. 


I am sorry for sharing all my emotions with you, I am not trying to make you feel sad or bad, nor for you to comfort me. I just hope that if there is someone else out there with similar thoughts that you if you read this you feel less alone with your fear and guilt.

Precious precious life...

As I contemplate writing this post a rainbow appear outside my window. I take that as a sign. When things seem grey, and we dont understand why, the heavens may peek through and create a magical colorful creation to remind us that we are not supposed to understand everything.

Today friends of my husband and I lost their baby. It was born prematurely, at only 24 weeks, a few weeks ago. The little boy has struggled to keep alive but today he was taken away.

It was our friends first baby and so shortly after they became parents their little creation was taken away. I struggle to find words of comfort, because really, there isn´t any words that are strong enough in such situations.

So I am going to say it with this image. Send my love through to them, and all others who are suffering from the loss of their child or other loved one...
