When I am given the confidence of a family that wants me to take their family pictures, I’m always very humble. And when I come back to my Mac and load all the pictures into it after a photo shoot, it’s always so exciting. I use a lot of time to select the photos to send to the client, it´s not easy, I usually likes more photos that I can send to them. After the selection starts the editing. And when you sit and work with photos...

We have a very nice park just near our apartment here in Puerto Rico. I use this park a lot for photo shoots. Wednesday we went there with Christoffer, my son, to take some new shots of him. This time we did not use any flashes or any other fancy stuff, just the sunlight, a diffusor and a reflector. Many of the photos are taken straight into the sunlight, which gives the photo a nice glow and warmth, but also a lot of haze, which I like. ...
