family.

We’re 2 weeks into the new year and I am finally sitting down to document what turned out to be a beautiful, slow simple holiday season for me. Lina + I started off December in Paris + ended it in North Carolina. In between,…

My cousin lives in Paris. And back in September we were chatting with each other about how long it had been since we’d seen each other. For a few years we did so good getting together. We spent a long weekend with her in…

It’s always so surreal traveling between countries. Suddenly, I find myself in my home state, with my family and memories of my old life all around me. And then, just as abruptly, I pop back into my everyday life in Sweden, often wondering if…
