What is my photography like?

Sofie

Hi,
I'm

Why did I become a family photographer?

I would describe my photography as — light, movement, and connection come together naturally, in the moment. I step back, observe, and wait for the moments that unfold naturally.

My photography isn’t about perfect poses or carefully constructed frames. It’s about presence, closeness, and the quiet moments in between.

I give families the freedom to move, pause, breathe, and exist together. I step back and follow your family’s natural rhythm. I don’t ask families to perform. I let them be. 

I was born in a small city in China. For most of my life, I had never even travelled abroad. During my master’s studies, I applied for an exchange semester in Sweden. I had always planned my life carefully. I knew where I was going. And then life gently changed direction. I met the person I would build a life with. I chose to stay. And in choosing that, I stepped into the most unexpected and beautiful chapter of my life.

Today, Sweden is home. We now have two children, and this quiet Nordic life has become part of who I am. During the week, I work as an engineer. It keeps me structured and precise. On weekends, I photograph families. It keeps me intuitive and emotional. Both sides shape who I am. Together, they allow me to create images that are honest, timeless, and full of heart.

If you feel connected to this, I would love to hear your story!

Photography has always been part of my life. Long before it became something I offered to others, it was simply my way of seeing the world. It brings me the quiet joy that stays with you long after the moment has passed.

The idea of becoming a family photographer came after I gave birth to my first child. I noticed how love reveals itself in small, almost invisible ways — in pauses, in glances, in the quiet in-between moments. Family photography, for me, is not about creating something new. It’s about noticing what is already there.

How did I end up in Sweden?
