Well I have a pretty “unique ” style as you might have seen.
skirts /oversized shirts is a must. and also hoodies.
Month: November 2024
Quick update.
Last day in school for this week and finally it’s weekend! Hey, hello how are you??
I’m currently in bed, writing this while my tinnitus is going crazy in my ear ~ yes i only have it on one ear. Today has been a little bit of stressful day for me.
Get up after missed 3 alarms, make breakfast for son, wake him up, have him eat, make him ready for school, meet up the woman who takes my son to school, get myself ready for school, rush to the bus (I had 20 minutes to get ready), rush to school so I wouldn’t attend class so late.. and then I thought I was gonna be able to “relax” which wasn’t gonna happen.
calculation, English speaking in class about Thailand… lady boys (why?) and more so I lost my concentration many times. I almost started to cry because I have a massive pressure to make the whole mathematic book done by January.
Left math class earlier today due to meeting at son’s school and Christmas gifts shopping for son. Damn it’s hard to find something for him.
Stressful day so iam happy that the day is over. Hopefully the weekend will be calm!
Only a few days and I am missing it?
Hello everyone! Goodmorning, good evening, good afternoon or goodnight to everyone!
How are you? I’m currently in bed (soon 11pm) and I am ready to sleep! Today has been kinda stressful. Paying bills, rush to school, calculations, grocery shopping, home and fix dinner, get my son from school, give him a shower, get him to fall asleep but unfortunately 30 minutes after he fell asleep he woke up so I had to try again and here iam right now. In bed, catching my breath after today!
Wooh been so much today! Anyway! Hopefully tomorrow is more calm. No school for me tomorrow so hopefully my body let me go to gym and out for photowalk! I haven’t been to the gym for a while due to busy schedules and now I’m ready to get back to it! Let’s gooooo!!
Also I haven’t been out on photowalk since Friday. Finally my body is better (a lot!) after the fall but I’m still in pain. Today I woke up with chestpain and have had it all day. Only on left side though but do not worry because it is only the muscles that is cramping or what to call it.
The rest of the week is all about school, meetings, continue to throw away stuff, demolishing furnitures etc. Can’t wait! And this weekend, hopefully husband doesn’t work one day so we can go to the recycling center and throw away the things.
What is new with you guys? You all good? I see your comments and likes but WP doesn’t let me answer them! I am so sorry! I’m working on it!
I have also seen that I have new followers! Thank you so so much!!! I hope you enjoy my little corner and please, tell me what you would like to ready / see here (this goes for everyone 😊)
So i guess im off to bed. My brain/head is not tired yet so I assume I’m gonna do some “coloring” on a app called Happy Colors (not sponsored). Such a good app to help me calm down every day.
Good night!
HAPPY MONDAY!
Happy Monday! How are you all today?
Today my body is better but still hurting bad but it’s better so now I’m on my way to school.
It’s very slippery outside. We went from -11°C to +5°C and it rains. Mother nature need to decide now what she wants. Lol.
So for you in Sweden, living in North, please be careful. I don’t know how it is anywhere else in Sweden but just be careful.
I’m on my way to school, the bus is late which is fine but I’m stressed because my class started 40 minutes ago but I have notified my teacher that I’m on my way but the bus is late.
Today i did not bring my camera with me just because of the roads. I don’t wanna risk the camera if I slip and fall. I didn’t even bring my big “Stanley” cup.
weird post but lifestyle post. I will update more later. I’m soon getting off the bus and need to 1000% focus on the walk.
much love!
Sunday, massive body ache and the return
Hello my pumpkins! No I’m not only gonna post about photography. I will continue my lifestyle blogposts as well so don’t you worry my dears!
How are you all? Feels like forever I asked that! I apologize!
How are you guys!? Let me know ♡
I’m alright. Been sick for like two weeks but still managed to get myself out as you all have seen. I am much better now tho compared to few days ago. Luckily I have not been contagious according to the doctors I have met so I have actually been able to go to school earlier but I haven’t felt that well and not sure but this week I’ve actually been to school. Now I’m really struggling with math because my brain is mixing up how to calculate and I think my teacher is getting mad and annoyed with me. Haha!
Today, my body is really hurting after the fall i took the other day. My hips, thighs and arms is hurting really really bad so I can barely move but I managed to get up out of the bed and now few hours later I managed to get myself in the bath. So extremely burning hot water to help the muscles to relax and hopefully it works!
My body hurts also after the massive cleaning I did all day yesterday. Kinda regret it today but so worth it. How is it possible that a family of 3 has so much stuff!? Well, easy answer.. me. But I managed to get 4 trash bags to throw away and now it’s much better.
I have noticed so many bruises and marks after the fall it’s ridiculous. I only thought I had the finger wound but na. Oh well, life as a amateur photographer I guess.
So what else is new? Well the vacation to an other town didn’t happen. Unfortunately. I was looking forward to it for so long, made plans with friends, plans in my head where to go and snap photos, relax, cozy cafés etc. Hopefully an other time.
Yeah that’s pretty much it. I will be updating the blog more often from now on with lifestyle posts but will also have photography posts and more like I have had.
Thank you for reading and I spare you guys in this post with no photos. Lol!
Much love ❤️
Life as a nature photographer
What have I got myself into to be honest.. I love taking pictures but risking my life just to get few pictures.. Is it worth it? Maybe. Depends on situation. but to be honest, no.
When I went to my location to take these photos (below), I slipped and fell on big rocks. I managed to stop before hitting the big big rocks and water luckily. But I got hurt really bad and today I feel like a train has run over me.
WARNING; BLOOD AND WOUND
I really didn’t even notice that I was bleeding until I by accident saw it when I was fixing settings on my camera. After I saw it I felt the pain . Not before. How crazy is that? Thank God I was surrounded with snow so I could make it stop bleeding fast.
Today; I can move my finger but it hurts really bad. The wound is pretty deep and big.
Was it worth though? No. For me it wasn’t. The pictures didn’t turn out how I pictured them in my head but it is alright. I had a tiny adventure.
One thing I often ask myself, Am I a nature photographer or just a person trying really hard? What is really the answer? For me yes iam one but for professional photographers etc I would just be this “girl with a camera trying hard”.
My dream is to become a good photographer. Having the right equipment so I could be able to travel the world and take stunning pictures. A girl can dream right?
National Geographic Magazine. Now that would be an achievement of life time. Unfortunately I know that would never happen but I have a goal and that keep me moving forward.
Hopefully in future I’ll be able to take other pictures without risking to fall, slip and hurt myself. Lol!
I have the law on my side
I’ve recently discovered that I like to capture reflections in windows, flowers and details. But after an incident that occurred the other day I had to check the laws to see if I was allowed or if it was forbidden.
I deleted so many pictures I took due for me being so scared after the incident. I couldn’t stop shaking after it happened and I was in total shock!
I deleted them because I was not sure if I was breaking the law or not. I was listening to my gut feeling before taking the pictures so while O was taking the pictures, the gut feeling told me all the time that I am safe and it’s not forbidden.
I checked the laws in photography to make sure what the law said. As long as I don’t take pictures of people in the windows. I am not allowed taking photos INTO their home. But why would I do that? How people live is none of my business. And frankly, that’s not something I wanna do.
So I can clearly say, iam safe to take photos like this and iam happy. I like taking pictures like this!
So now I can’t wait after finding this out, to take pictures of Christmas decorations.
So if you wanna take photos like these please check the laws if you are allowed or not. I do not know how it applies in your country but in Sweden it’s allowed.

How long have I had the addiction for shopping? Well to be honest, my entire life. I buy stuff and get tired of them and throws them away. So I doesn’t become an hoarder.
But I was horrible and way worse before when I was a massive addicted. I just grabbed everything I wanted and bought. I have gotten better due to massive hard work on myself. Now i get stuff into my cart, think it through and ask myself if I really need it. Most of the time it’s no so I put things back to it’s place. Unfortunately I noticed when it has come to photography and camera equipment I have become worse so now I must restart my brain and work hard again.
But Emma, why do you buy so much to your camera? I have two old cameras Canon 450D (my first DSLR camera) and one Canon 1100D . Due to them being old they doesn’t give me the sharpness I wish for or focus. So buying filters, tripods etc is something I hope would help me instead of needing to spend $$$$$ on a new camera.
I have googled around and watched youtubes on tips and tricks on how to get the pictures more sharp and it’s all about shutterspeed, aperture etc but honestly they also say “instead of buying a new camera because your camera are fine. Invest in equipments and lenses ” but due to the prices off lenses in Sweden, I will try equipment things first. Hopefully I will be able to buy lenses that will help me but the lens world is crazu big and I do not know which ones to pick.
I’m also trying to find my niche i photography, trying different kinds styles. I know for sure that portraits ain’t for me.
so yeah, a little backstory of my confession. I might continue with this and make it a series. I have a lot of confessions and it actually felt good to write this even though it was a mix of confession and photography.
magical droplets hitting the lights.

I still haven’t found my tone of niche. I like colors and I like the dark tones.
hey guy! I have been MIA for a while due to being sick, missed school etc. Iam feeling a little better now so I actually went to school yesterday but man, the calcu made my brain so tired.
How are you!? I hope you all are doing good and enjoy this beautiful Saturday! The sun is shining, and the itch to go outside and snap photos is coming strong but unfortunately I can not go out and take photos today due to having my son at home. Lol plus my ear is in pain.
I will upload pictures i have taken with time but I am updating the Instagram and Facebook page often. Would love if you follow / joined me on my journey!
Current situation & photowalks in nature.
Goodmorning pumpkins! I hope you all are doing good this lovely Thursday 🙌🏻
im currently in thr bath, writing this. It’s freaking cold here in Sweden and due to my diabetes, my feelings in feets/toes aren’t the best so before I can put on my warm wool socks I need to warm them up.
Plans for today? Well I went to the Healthcare clinic two days ago, met with a doctor who said I have no virus so I’m not in risk to get anyone else sick.. so I guess im going to school. WITH CAUTION OFCOURSE! Before school im gonna go buy more supplies of mouth mask/ facemasks. It’s starting to go low at home. And I’ll also sit in the way way back in the class.
What else? Well i got one of my packages with camera equipment! Woho. My tripod, few filters and also the hand holder (instead of the big to hang around your neck) but unfortunately that hand/wrist holder was bad because I tried it while sitting at the table and it “broke” so luckily the camera was mounted on to the screws.
I had a photowalk yesterday while the sun was out. Unfortunately it was harsh sunlight and i do not like that. But I managed to fix some pictures though.
not the best quality online though. I’ll upload more on my Instagram and Facebook page. Through my eyes and camera.
Photography for me is my kind of relaxation. Unfortunately I went through some things the other day that made me decide to not take pictures in town and around buildings. I will tell you guys more about that later. It was a sad decision for me but I am still scared and haven’t been able to shake off what happened.
