When my friends Gustav and Malin asked if I could take some portraits of their daughter Alicia, I felt really honored and happy. We had a great time together shooting a wonderful autumn day out in Hummelmora, not far from where we live. Alicia is such a sweet little kid but had no plans on sitting still during the session. You don’t want to do that when you just have learned how to walk… We started of with a short pick-nick and then Alicia started to wonder around to explore the pastures.

This is one of my personal favorites from the session. We had been shooting for a while and taken a break when I noticed while talking to Malin that Alicia had found a plastic cup that she was exploring. I managed to get a couple of shots before Alicia lost interest of it after a couple of seconds and wondered of to explore new areas in the surrounding.

I had brought my soap bubble machine with me. We started it in the end of the session and Alicia was mesmerized.  After not standing still for more than half a second she now sat still for 15 minutes while trying to figure out what these strange things were flying through the air…

I got time to shoot some images of Gustav and Malin as well…

…but Alicia was not far away for very long. She wanted to be part of the action as well. I truly love this image. The love for Alicia really shine in Gustav and Malins eyes.
