I love to travel and have been doing it since I was 17. I love polka dots. I love dresses. I love shoes. I love the colours
purple and pink. I have been having a love affair with the American South for as long as I can remember and one of
my favourite books is To Kill a Mockingbird. I looove coffee, but can’t really drink it because it presses my fast forward
button. If you want to see me talk at warp speed, give me a white chocolate mocha. I’ll not only love you for it, I’ll
love you for it in fast forward! I normally stick to tea, though.I love watching sci-fi shows. Nerd pride. I waited 28 years
to find the love of my life and now that we’ve found each other I couldn’t imagine life without him and I can’t
remember what it was like before him. I love hugs. I love to read.
Photography, travel and history are my favourites, but I’m really not
as boring as I sound. I read crime to be more exciting. I spell favourites
with a ‘u’ because I am Australian even though it might look a little
weird to people who use American English. I like to create new
verbs out of existing words. Like right now, I am biographing myself.
I also like mixing words, like Purplicious and Pinktacular! I like
to name things. Like our car, it’s the ‘Enterprise’, or ‘Space Car’
because it’s so advanced everything is a button… just like I
imagine things in the future would be. You want a white choc
mocha? Easy, press a button! My camera is named ‘Henri’
after Cartier-Bresson, because I think it’s better than just plain
old ‘Canon 5d’. I love animals, especially dogs and coo over
them like most people do with babies. I also coo over babies.
I love photography and I love weddings and I am blessed to be
able to call my passion my profession.

Exercise 41: Comfort
Cats are everywhere in Morocco. Unlike in other places I have been to they seem to be treated very well, too. Everywhere you look there were cats all over the place and I even made friends with a few of them. For this exercise of Shooting with Soul I chose this shot of two cats in Marrakesh to interpret the exercise “Comfort” because I felt that that really did represent it well. I was so focused previously on trying to interpret my own comfort that I neglected to think outside the box. But I think I managed it quite well. I think they look pretty comfortable, don’t you?
Canon 5D MKII. 24-70mm f/2.8 @ f/2.8, ISO 400, 1/500
In the summer of 2014 my Husband and I decided to take a road trip down to the south of France from Sweden to soak up some sun, and as I was deciding which books to take, I picked up my copy of Alessandra Cave‘s gem, Shooting With Soul. I ended up completing a good number of the exercises in the book but instead of doing them in order, like the book suggests, I chose to complete them whenever I felt the opportunity presented itself during that time. I also used whatever I had available in terms of gear, which was not a lot and many times presented a really limiting challenge. I did not, and could not, complete all of the projects in the book on the trip, so I shall continue them now that we’re back home in Sweden. This image was completed in Morocco in June of 2015.
