I have a lot of families I photograph around the island every year. I get a lot of emails with requests of photographing big families. Many families comes to Gran Canaria from all over Europe to celebrate an anniversary of their parents, who maybe celebrate 60, 70 or a marriage anniversary. Typical for these photo sessions, are that we take the group photo of the hole family, which maybe counts up to 20 people. Then we also takes a lot of...

This photo session with this Norwegian family was very fun and a extremely nice experience for us. The family has lived and worked at Gran Canaria for some years, and the children have been students at the Norwegian school in Arguineguin. It was now time for packing up their belongings and going back to Norway. But first they wanted a photographer to capture some memories for them before they left. So one day Torstein called me and asked if it...

Besides wedding photography, I also do a lot of family photography too. This family is from Holland and stayed in wonderful Hotel Riu Palace Meloneras, where we were allowed to take the photos of them, in addition to the beach. Grandmother and grandfather celebrated their 50th anniversary and together with their children and grandchildren, they celebrated the event at Gran Canaria. And what a wonderful opportunity to take some family photos. Do...

I have a lot of family photo sessions during the year. Gran Canaria is one of Europe´s biggest holiday destination. There are small families or big groups who want to have some photos when on holiday at Gran Canaria. I am also one of the promoted photographers from the Gran Canaria Tourist board. Many of the family session I do, is typically a birthday celebration. Maybe mum, grandfather has a big celebration and finally all are gathered here...

I had the joy of doing a photo session with Stacey, her son and brother and her parents this autumn. I get a lot of requests for family photography, and there are so many reasons for doing a shoot while spending your vacation on Gran Canaria. We have wonderful nature and beaches, and almost always good weather. So good conditions for a great session.  If you are planning a family photo session with me, please book in time, I unfortunately have...

We had a rally fun photo shoot with this family from Gjerstad. Gjerstad is not far away from my hometown Risør, so it was very nice to meet someone from back home in Norway and especially Nunne. Nunne is a very eccentric woman in a very positive way, full of energy and you can´t avoid to be very happy and get very exited when she´s around 🙂 She brought her twin daughters, Anita and Gry, with their husbands and children, for their holiday in...

This is absolutely one of my favorite photo shoots from Puerto Mogán. Anna contacted me for a shoot while coming to Gran Canaria with her husband, sister and parents, who celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. This wonderful family is from St. Petersburg in Russia, but Anna and her husband Evgeny lives in Stockholm in Sweden. I did a photo shoot with their friends, Valeria and Evgeny two years ago on their honeymoon til Gran Canaria, and it...

A while ago, I was lucky to have Marte and Odin back for a photo shoot 🙂 For about three years ago, I did a photo shoot in Puerto Mogán with Marthe and Odin, with sweet photos of him Odin and his mom Marthe. And wow, how Odin has grown, into a big boy during these years, and this time he and mom wanted some cool shots to decorate his new bedroom, what a cool...

Earlier this year, I was contacted by Henriette and Bo, a young Danish couple who lives on Gran Canaria. They where expecting their first baby, a little boy and wanted a maternity photo session. We decided to go to Puerto Mogan, this beautiful picturesque village in the south-west of Gran Canaria. I just love this place, it´s so perfect for photography. We spent the afternoon with Henriette an Bo and I really enjoyed the time, they are such a...

This happy and smiling family are coming from Kristiansand in south in Norway. Kristiansand is not so far away from the city I lived in while I lived in Norway, just 1,5 hour to drive. We really had a fun time with this family during the family photo shoot, with lots of positive energy, laughing and fun moments. We started in the park just beside my studio, and then we went to Amadores beach. It is fantastic to be a photographer and have all...

Earlier this summer we had a photo shoot with a lovely family from Bodø in Norway, Lise and Mads, and their three boys, Lars, Tobias and and Johannes. Lise and I got to know each other while we played in the Norwegian television serie “Costa del Kongsvik” this spring (coming on TVNorge in March 2014).  For this family photo shoot, we first went to a nice park, and then to the beach. And I am soo impressed of the three boys, they...

In February I was so lucky to meet a friend of mine from back in the old school days in Risør, Norway. Christin and her son, Atle, had a stay at Gran Canaria for a while. Christin and I grew up in the same little town and went to school for nine years together, so it was very special to get to do a session with her and her son in Gran Canaria. And how cool of Atle to do a photo session with his awesome mother, that´s a tough man! Atle is one of...

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...

On wednesday we did the photo session for this lovely family from Norway. We went to Anfi del Mar, which is such a lovely place, not only to spend a vacation, but also to do photo session at. The area around the resort and the fabulous beach are so perfect for taking photos. So thank you all at Anfi for giving me the permission to be able to use this fantastic area. This time we had a big family, it was grandmother and grandfather Bjørg and...

A few days ago, we had a photo shoot on the fantastic resort Anfi del Mar. Anfi del Mar is a spectacular holiday resort near Arguineguín on Gran Canaria, founded in 1988 by the Norwegian entrepreneur, Bjørn Lyng. Thanks to his grandson Andreas, I was given permission from Anfi to do a photo shoot there with this lovely family. The families were gathered to celebrate grandfather og grandmother. All their children and grandchildren, except for...

On saturday we went to the fantastic hotel Lopesan Villa del Conde in Meloneras. We had an appointment with Marina, Derek and sweet little Alison. They are the most lovely little family from Dublin in Irland you can imagine, and we had a great time with them late afternoon in the surroundings of this fantastic hotel. And even if Alison (15 month) not always wanted to do the same as us, we managed to capture some amazing moments of this lovely...
