I have worked as a photographer for almost 20 years but I have worked in Fashion and Beauty even longer than that. I started out my journey by going to Fashion School in Gothenburg, Sweden where I was born and raised. I eventually changed my major and became a photographer.

While living in Nashville in the late 90's I started to make period gowns and attire, especially from the 1860's era. This taught me discipline and work with a great multitude of materials in one garment.

In the early 2000s, I because a photographer full time and thrived in the portrait and wedding part of my occupation, in which I won multiple awards and was published over and over again. I fell in love with the Fashion photography part of it and Models became a part of my everyday life and shoots.

My own daughter became a successful model who now lives and works in NYC. I wanted to help model "make it". And this is still my passion today.

But the pandemic changed so much for all of us and I was no exception I revisited my passion for fashion and started making dresses and gowns and robes with photography in mind. In a matter of months, the dresses and skirts had been published in publications worldwide and by Spring of 2021, I got to show my collection at Minnesota Fashion Week which was a great honor! I am excited to see what the future brings but for the time being all my gowns and robes are individually made with a lot of love.
