This has been a really scary, but great year! SO many things has happened, I got a dog, I finished my education, I started my own company, got a job as a photographer, bought my first appartment and I'va been traveling. Amazing year, here is ashort summary:

We got a little puppy... Turid.

Spent A LOT of 2010 making shure we have a well trained dog in the years tocome.

Spent more time with my sister Helle and her boyfriend Kristian. They still live in Oslo.

Spent more time with my brother and sister, and had a great weekend in Sweden in may.

new flashes and pictures from the office..

Today I finally had enough money saved to buy myself some studio flashes. So now I'm ready for a dark norwegian winter, and can take more pictures inside.

I'm alone at the office today, so while I'm waiting for a photoshoot I'm doing here, I took some pictures so you get to see how it is. I share it with 5 other people, mostly graphic designers and other creative people. Beacuse I've been working so much at Fame* I haven't really spent that much time here, but I really like it when I'm here. It great to have a place to have all my work stuff, and just knowing I allways have a desk to come to when I don't have any photoshoots. Or if I just need to work on pictures or all the boring buissness stuff. It's a really good combo, having some days at the portraitstudio and a few days doing my own thing.

Here are some pictures....

Winter and snow

Winter is here, way to early for my taste, but what can we do? When you live in Norway, this is when winter comes some years. I've been really busy working for FAME and InMagasinet these last few weeks, so I haven't really had time to think about winter, snow, christmas or anything else. The weeks just runsh past, and I just hope it slows down a bit soon.

We are almost moved in, still some boxes left and a coulpe of walls that need paint, but we can do that when we have time. It's starting to feel like home though, it's a nice feeling :)

Now in these cold wintertimes I love to watch movies, tv-series and read other people's blogs. It's the best part about winter, you can do all this every spare minute, and not feel guilty at all. This is my recomandations for best entertainment:

Mad Men - great tv-show
Despicable me - amazingly funny!
Social Network - the facebook film
My friend Ingrids blog - she is traveling in and around Vietnam, taking pictures and on the trip of a lifttime! I love that I can "travel with her"
New episodes of House and Dexter
and to all norwegian people, you have to see "Storbynatt"! SOO much fun, but in Norwegian...

So all of this, cocoa, candles and blankets make winter pretty good... :)

Now, of to work and photograph some nice people.
