OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Last year, when I was pregnant, my friend Marlene was writing a book about Style. She  asked me if I wanted to be interviewed for the pregnancy chapter. Sure, I said, I do have tips! I gave her the interview but I postponed the photography session again and again. I simply seldom felt comfortable being pregnant and when you don’t … Read More

To the Dads

I can still not get over that disgusting story about the Stanford rape. I could not fall asleep last night thinking about this. Thinking about how to bring up boys in a way that these things don’t happen. When I just became a mother I read about a rape case in Sweden.

Me for Anthropologie

The US brand Anthropologie contacted me in the beginning of the summer asking me if I wanted to be one of the faces for their Fall campaign. Uff, I thought. I would just be a bit over a month after giving birth. Fresh out of the mom bubble so to say. I was definitely not going be back into my pre-pregnancy size. And most … Read More

When I was pregnant I really did not feel like I wanted to share with the world. So I stayed offline. However, I did actually still write. I have to post this post that I prepared in March last year but ever published. I was pregnant in week 30 and I felt so so ugly. When I look at the images now … Read More
