I just posted on Instagram.
Did hell just freeze over? 😂
I haven’t been here for a few months.. And the longer you don’t post, the harder it gets to come back. You start thinking that if you’ve been quiet for so long, now it has to be something perfect… 🙄 so of course you keep postponing it.
But today I thought, if not now, then when 🫢
Especially because today we celebrate Father’s Day here in Croatia. And somehow it felt like a good moment to share this.
Last week I delivered this family gallery, and it reminded me of a story from that session.
At the beginning, the dad was quite sceptical about the photos (unfortunately at start, they’re mostly like this 🫠). A bit tense, a bit like “I’m mostly here because she wanted this session.” 😬
So we just started spending time together. Walking, talking, playing with their little one. Kind of things, that most probably they are just doing together 🫶🏼
Slowly, the tension disappeared.
With every moment, there was more laughter and more ease.
And at some point, they simply forgot that I was even there with a camera.
And that’s when my favourite photos happen.
At the end, I heard something I hear quite often:
“That was so much easier than we thought.”

And I think that’s exactly what I want to be my photography about.
You don’t have to pose.
You don’t have to know what to do.
You just get to be together. 💛

And today I spent half of my day hand-embroidering a t-shirt for my Jakub with our kids’ drawing on it 🥹
(while listening to a live online photography conference in the background — a total life/work mix 😂)
I’ve been trying to slow down a bit after a very long and intense season…
but let’s be honest — I still don’t really know how to just sit and do nothing. 😉

So tell me honestly:
who is more stressed about photos in your relationship — you or your partner? 😄
