I'm Jeanette, a photographer, a multicultural millennial, and a perfectionist trying to learn the joy of embracing average, while still dreaming big! On my blog I share all of my latest photoshoots, as well as my thoughts and musings on life and all of the ups and downs that that entails! Grab a cup of tea, a fluffy blanket, and cozy up with some of my blog posts!

setting motivating goals

With the New Year and a new decade just around the corner, I’ve been thinking a lot about New Year’s resolutions lately. I really love goal setting, and I love New Years and the burst of motivation that seems to spread through much of the world’s population around this time. We all reflect on the […]

hygge familiebilleder til juletid

Playfully Jeanette dabbed som flour on Martin’s nose. He returned the favor, and the kids started laughing at their parents and covered their own noses in snow-white flour as well.

The winter sun was slowly setting and the cool golden rays of the lowering sun were radiating a beautiful glow that swept across the landscape; lighting up the rolling hills, the leaf-less trees and the shallow lakes of the surrounding fields.
