Let's get to work.

I want to start this day by saying THANK YOU to Gloss Magazine for this gorgeous feature in their October issue!

Now I'm going to drive into Stockholm for a photo shoot - to stand behind the camera, that is, not in front of it. My boyfriend has been teasing me about the fact that my niche as a photographer is more than a little narrow at the moment, considering the only person I've been paid to photograph lately is... my own mother. (Not a bad niche, though - we've shot three book covers, a few dozen press photos and a bunch of magazine features!)

Anyway, now he needs to shut up, because today I'm shooting press pictures for, ehm, my mother's best friend! She is also an author, she's releasing a new book soon and needs new photos to go with it. I'm a little bit nervous - what if she's not happy with the result? What if it turns out I actually suck at this kind of photography, that the only people I'm good at shooting are my mom and myself? Well, we will soon find out. And I might be nervous, but at the same time I'm pretty confident - she is a beautiful woman, what could go wrong? As long as I don't leave my camera at home or forget to remove the lens cover, we should be fine! (Hopefully I will notice if all the photos contain nothing but black squares.) :)

I'll talk to you again tonight - keep your fingers crossed I don't mess up today!
