Familyshoot in Trongisvági, Faroe Islands

Jóhanna, Bergur and Finnur brought their baby cousin Hilaria with them to their photoshoot.  It was a wet day and as I arrived on location I was not sure if the shoot would go ahead.  But this was the last day of Hilarias visit, so we decided to try.  I am very glad that we …

Miriam and Adrian

A few days before leaving the Faroes in November I got a message from Miriam, asking if I had time to photograph her and her son Adrian.  The shoot took place a couple of days later.  I love finishing with a good shoot, and this one was great!  It was lovely to see the connection …

Merry Christmas

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  I truly hope that everyone has a lovely time with the ones they love.  Our Christmas is being spent in Scotland with James's family.  I am lucky to have such nice in-laws that I see them as …

Fire engines and christmas lights

The night before we left the Faroes the Christmas lights in my hometown were turned on. It was lovely to be there for the occasion and it also meant a lot to my parents to have me and JJ there. Since me and James met we have celebrated every other Christmas in the Faroes and …

A Culinary Adventure

I have been very excited to put this blog post together  about some of the amazing food that we had on our holiday in the Faroe Islands. Lamb and fish make up a large part of the faroese food.  The taste of both fish and lamb are very much determined by the method of preserving them. …

Omma blomma og abbi krabbi

First of all I have to explain the title. Literally translated it means Granny yolk and grandad crab. This is just a rhyme that we say here in the Faroes really 😄 There is something very special about seeing your parents in the role as grandparents. When I see JJ with my parents it makes me …

Faroese winter visit part 1.

When I came to Scotland in 2008 there was no direct route between the Faroe Islands and Scotland. Only the occasional Christmas flight home. In 2015 the faroese airline company Atlantic Airways decided to try out a new route and set up direct flights between the Faroe Islands and Edinburgh. It goes without saying that …

Living

I don't like the word busy.  So I am not gonna say that we have been so busy lately,  instead we have been living a lot recently.  We have been discovering new toddler groups,  gotten to know new amazing people,  caught up with friends, been at the beach, spent weekends at granny,  photographed weddings and I …

Just another night

Tonight like so many other night did not go to plan. I wanted to prepare lunch and dinner for tomorrow, tidy and clean, read a bit and blog a bit - yes all that can be condensed into 3 hours.   Let me walk you through what really happened and what a typical night is …

Bye bye summer

Just less than 3 months ago James got a new job and he loves it. It was one of those opportunities that find you when you are not looking and are too good not to say yes to. We knew that this would mean busy times ahead for our family. August was gonna be especially …
