Faroese Summer 2017

It has been a while since I posted on the blog, the summer has mostly been spent away in the Faroe Islands, where we got up to everything and nothing.  It was just such a lovely time.  Somehow the summer came and went in an instant, now that the autumn is knocking on the door …

Faroese Easter Holiday

These 3 weeks in the Faroes Islands have gone by so fast.  Tonight I have packed my bags again, JJ did ofcourse decide that he did not want to sleep until 23:00, which meant that packing was a little bit hectic.  Now I am sitting here in my mum and dads kitchen.  The house is …

Sail Away With Me

I grew up by the ocean and we used to go sailing regularly, especially during spring and summer.  The picture above is me but I am not sure what age.  I think that everyone usually has that one picture of themselves from their childhood, that they remember. The picture they grew up with.  For me, …

Spring in the Faroe Islands

It has been a week and a bit since we arrived in the Faroe Islands.  As usual we flew direct from Edinburgh to the Faroes with Atlantic Airways.  What made this trip different was that we were travelling with my parents.  I have not been on a plane with my parents since 1993, so this …

Helena and her growing family

On my visit in the Faroe Islands in November I got to photograph Helena, Hanus, Diana and baby bump.  I have known Helena since we were in school and getting to document such an exciting time in their lives was an honour. To me there is nothing more beautiful than an expecting mother.  They might …

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 …

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 …
