Hi! I'm Elin.

I’m originally from Sweden, which probably explains my love for slow summers, icy swims, and picking blueberries. I spend as much time as possible by the ocean or in the bush... surfing, camping, or exploring with my family and friends.
At home, our kid and two cats make sure there’s never a dull moment, and I’m happiest just noticing the little things. The things that make people laugh, connect, or just enjoy the day.

I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was ten, and it’s never let me go. From photographing music festivals back in Sweden to weddings, family days, and branding shoots, I’ve always been drawn to moments that feel alive, real and human.

When we work together, I notice what’s happening around you... the laughter, the glances, the genuine connection between people. I give natural direction whenever needed, but above all I’m there to pay attention - to the little things and the in-between moments, and tell your story in a way that feels effortless and true to you.

For me, it’s about more than just pretty photos. It’s about preserving the memories that bring back the warmth, the fun, and the energy of how the day truly felt.

I’m the queen of storytelling and candid moments, bringing your story to life like no one else.
