• Nature's strength in symphony with the maternity glow 🌌 ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ This day had it all. Two photoshoots with amazing girls, a pink sunset, chocolate brownie and champagne. Life. I have to pinch my arm sometimes. I'm meeting so many lovely people in the worlds most stunning places. It was a bit more challenging to pick the best places this time. We drove around the whole island (I admit I'm really picky), and at last we found this places. You would be surprised if you knew how much I plan for every picture, the distance to the bush, how she stands with her feet, the amount of sky, the light in the sea, the shape of the dress - everything is carefully planned 🙏 ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ I received a lot of requests yesterday, and I don't have a lot of bookings left from now until July (I know, it's crazy). So make sure to book me early, I photograph everywhere in Europe ⭐ Link in profile! 😘 ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #gravidfotografering #gravid #maternityshoot #pregnant #malta

  • I've heard that a lot of people in Sweden feel very low.. The weather here is quite horrible right now, just rain, gray and cold. As a photographer, it's hard conditions when you're shooting outdoors of course, but I really try to not get affected by it. It's all about how I react to it really. If I talk about it often (like we do in Sweden) and allowing it to be a problem, it will also affect me negatively. It sounds really easy, I know, but it's surprising how much we can affect ourselves, just by our thoughts. So whenever I have a bad day, feeling low about anything small, I try my best not to talk about it. If I can't change it, I don't give it attention. It's so easy to whine about those things, but I really try not to. Instead, I try to do something about the problem if I can. In this case, I can't change the weather, so I can either stay here, trying to make the best out of it, or move. I don't dwell about it, cause it doesn't help me 😎 This mindset is SO important for me, I wouldn't have the energy or motivation to keep going otherwise. This mindset also makes it easier to do mistakes, cause trust me, I've failed a LOT. So lovelies, if you are feeling low cause of the weather or anything else small. Try this mindset If I can't change it, I don't give it attention, otherwise DO something about it. It will give you SO much more energy and happiness, trust me. After all, we do choose our thoughts (you can practice thinking positive, I promise!). Rain and peace ❤️ /Emelie

  • Live fearlessly. I was 17 when I survived the tsunami in Thailand. I was a fragile teenager, fighting with problems as low self-esteem and boys. I was not ready to grow up, but after hanging in that palm tree, 20ft up, I was never the same again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ We were a family of 5. Running together from nightmare waves behind us. My sister Paulina who was 9 years didn't make it. We had to go back to Sweden as a family of 4. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ People often say I'm strong. That they wouldn't have managed to lose a sibling. I understand what they mean, but I feel the same. I didn't want to cope, but I didn't have a choice. Who am I to feel sorry for myself, when my sister only got 9 years on this earth? Who am I to stop fighting? ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Paulina is my greatest motivation in life. I've promised her to fulfill my dreams, to never give up. To live life for her, and cherish her memory for all time. She is the reason I keep this up, even when I fail. I think the reason many are giving up their dream, is that they don't have their WHY. Why are you doing this? What is your fuel to fulfilling your dreams, doing what you love? ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Find a why that makes you cry. It could be to spend more time with your kids, your previous job that you hated or that you want to work as a volunteer. Life is way too short to not taking chances. Have the courage to fail, be true to your self, and don't give a f*ck what other people think. Follow your dreams, and cherish every day. Be fearless ⭐

  • HEWAN ✨ . . I did 62 (!) maternity shoots last year, and this shoot was one of them. Stunning Hewan with ice and winter sun, my fav combo. Due to new projects this year, I've been forced to say no to a lot of inquiries, but I have a lot of amazing shoots coming up this winter ❄ . . Tonight I'm just hanging out with my old friend PMS who was passing by. We've had some chocolate together and I really hope she's NOT staying the night 😂 Let's pray for my hormones if I ever get pregnant, otherwise I will need to lock myself in for 9 months 🙈 (No we are not planning kids in any time soon, I've got a lot of questions about that lately 🙃). . . So long! /Emelie who just cried to Friends (Phoebe got her bike from Ross....)

  • These calm winter days ❄ The frost is cracking under your feet, and it's all quiet. The air is fresh and it's so peaceful. . The reality for the southern part of Sweden is more what we call slask (snow mixed with rain and mud...), but luckily for me my clients will be happy to wait for the perfect winter day 😁 I'm happy to announce a new travel date for Iceland in January 2019 ❤ I have the possibility for two maternity shoots at this time (for due date February - April 2019). Link in profile! . I wish you a great week without slask but a lot of sun 😘 #gravidfotografering #maternityshoot

  • Malin 💙 . Vulnerable and powerful. She's like the wind. . This expression is why I started Femaryah. To create strong pictures of women, and also show the vulnerability in our eyes. . I were so moved when we were at the boat in Crete a few days ago. Our students had a task to sit close and look into each others eyes for 1 minute, and then do it again with a story. It was so quiet, and with just the sea around us it was such a special moment. . . We are so caught up with life (and phones...) and everything we should do, so we forget to actually LOOK at the people around us. Yesterday I promised my boyfriend to stop check my phone when we're watching movies (so restless...), it's a start I guess ❤ #femaryah #idasjostedt #greece #crete

  • My beautiful bestie Lisa ⭐ . I started my company 10 years ago (having a celebration next week 🎉) and all my friends had to be there for all my crazy ideas. . Lisa had to sit in a bathtub with a questionable outfit, sitting on a roof, laying on the ground on top of a tacky IKEA blanket and so on... At least she didn't have strawberries in her ear (another brilliant idea of mine I did to another friend). . . Thank God I find inspiration in other things than IKEA blankets and fruits nowadays.... 😂 I get the question often where I get my inspiration. It's mostly from the light in different ways. I can create a image by just seeing a meadow in the right light. I also get inspired by traveling, listening to music and having days off. . . My best way to find inspiration in stressful days is to walk by the sea, listening to Oceans by Hillsong. That song fills my heart with calmness every time 🙏 . . Please share your favorite no-stress song with me 😍 . . #gravidfotografering #maternity #pregnant #bf2019
