Teenage friends photo session at Rosersberg slott | Familjefotograf Stockholm

Over the past few years, I’ve noticed that when it comes to photo sessions, teenagers often get overlooked. Lots of families book a photo session for their newborns or toddlers, and sometimes when the kids are seven or eight. Often though, families don’t book a session when those kids grow into tweens or teenagers.

It is so important to document these teenage years (and I’m not talking about selfies!). I encourage families to either book a family session with their teenage children or book a teenage friend’s photo session so that those teenagers will have a beautiful collection of images from this stage of their lives.

I’ve done several fun tween and teen photo sessions this year, and right now I have three teenage girlfriends wanting to book a friend session. They’ve been best friends since they were tiny and really want to have a session where it’s just them, hanging out and having fun, so watch this space ;)

The below teenage photo session was inspired by the song, All The Young Dudes (be careful, that song tends to get stuck in your head!). We spent a relaxed summer evening by the water on the beautiful grounds of Rosersberg slott. I didn’t ask them for smiles, although they were a naturally smiley bunch, and we created some cool, laid back images of these YOUNG DUDES :).

If you would like to book a teenage session with your teenagers, please mail sandra@sandrajolly.com or use the Contact page above and we’ll take it from there.

Peace and love xoxo :)

Tween and Teen Photo session | Stockholm portrait photographer

OK, talk to me… How are YOU holding up during this strange time? Has your life more or less carried on ‘as normal’ or has everything changed for you? Have you been able to meet up with friends and family? Can you still work? Are you practicing self-care and resting when you need to? Wherever you are and whatever your circumstances, I sincerely hope you are as well as you can be, and looking forward to better times <3.

As for me, I am currently sitting in my office, working my way through my to-do list and silently marvelling at the fact I have somehow kept the orchid that sits near my desk alive since November last year! A few weeks ago I was sure it was dead and then as if overnight, it had fresh new blooms on it! Happy days!

Maybe you’d like to see one of my most recent photo sessions? In case you’re wondering, all my sessions recently have been held outdoors and at a safe distance from my lovely clients. It was actually my second time to photograph this fun family. We decided to focus mainly on the kids and make it more of a tween and teen photo session, which I was very happy about as this age group is often overlooked in favour of babies and toddlers. Tweens and teens need to be photographed too and I, for one, am determined to put them back on the photography map ;)

I’m now taking summer bookings (outdoors and at a safe distance), so feel free to mail me at sandra@sandrajolly.com to book your Jolly portrait session, either a family session or your very own session that’s all about you :)
