I live in a beautiful country village with my (English) husband, and our two gorgeous boys and our cat Cookie.<\/p>\n<p>I have a MSc in e-Commerce Technology and Communications and spent 6 years in web and marketing. After having the boys photography took over. I guess my marketing background is why branding is a guilty pleasure, and why I do enjoy photographing for family and baby brands.<br \/>I just love photographing people! I particularly enjoy photographing mums with their children, simply because I don\u2019t think we feature nearly enough in pictures and video. We give up a lot to become mums, yet in the future when people look back at our family images, it\u2019s like we weren\u2019t there. I firmly feel it is important for our mental wellbeing to see our selves, with our children, being good enough, we spend so much energy on feeling inadequate, and it\u2019s my mission to get mums in the picture \u2013 I simply know they will thank me down the line.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||10%|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;3%|||0%|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>I am qualified to Associate Level with the master Photography Association. I was awarded both child and overall photographer of the year, East Midlands in 2020 and children&#8217;s photographer in the Midlands 2021 &amp; 2022. The awards aren\u2019t important as such, but they are important because they reassure me, that the work I create for customers is of a high standard! I am ALWAYS learning.<\/p>\n<p>I love chocolate, cake, food and holidays. I read a lot, I like interior design and we are an outdoors kind of family. We all like running, actually the boys are all into their triathlons, so we go to a couple of tri events every year.<\/p>\n<p>Now, please do tell me about your photography ideas?!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243;

I am really not important...it is all about you and your pictures, but if you really want to know...\r\n\r\nI am Scandinavian, but first came to England in 2000. I live in a beautiful country village with my (English) husband, and our two gorgeous boys.\r\n\r\nI have a MSc in e-Commerce Technology and Communications and spent 6 years in web and marketing. I did freelance photography for years, but after having the boys photography took over and the geeky work became a hobby.\r\n\r\nI absolutely love photographing people! I particularly love photographing people who don\u2019t like having their picture taken, and providing them with images they actually really like.\r\nI love photographing people who value and treasure the images of their loved ones, and who appreciates high quality work.\r\nI feel I go out of my way to create a unique session for everyone, and will happily incorporate your \u201clifestyle\u201d in your shoot; so let me know if you would like to include the dog, the horse, the tractor, whatever is important to you and work life!\r\n\r\nI much prefer using natural lighting as I feel it suits my style of photography best. However, the lovely British weather doesn\u2019t always agree with me, so some sessions, like babies and boudoir often end up in doors, and sometimes with use of studio lighting.\r\n\r\nOh, and just like you I really don't like having my picture taken, but I have come to realise that I do love pictures taken together with my boys - I feel I will treasure those images forever...\r\n\r\n<strong>I only offer a limited number of shoots, so it is important to book in advance.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nI am a member of the SWPP, and in 2015 I passed my Licentiateship - LSWPP (Licentiate of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers).\r\nMy commercial work is continuously featured, often on the front cover, in Market Harborough Living Magazine, Essential Living Magazine and NCT magazines. I often photograph community and charity events, for example the Market Harborough Christmas Fayre.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/swpp.co.uk\/members\/Kjaerulff%20Knights-Br130700.htm\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/studio.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-30","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dorte.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dorte.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dorte.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dorte.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dorte.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30"}],"version-history":[{"count":29,"href":"https:\/\/www.dorte.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8917,"href":"https:\/\/www.dorte.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30\/revisions\/8917"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dorte.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dorte.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
