THE GETAWAY DIARIES

2016-11-02T14:23:00.007+01:00

Hi guys,

It's been forever!

For those of you, who still stop by or who stumbled upon the site right now, I have decided to move this blog and start up a whole new project.

It will of course concist of lots of photography, but the theme of this new site is my biggest passion : TRAVEL.

THE GETAWAY DIARIES

So welcome to my new website, my personal travel diary and a place you can escape to, when you need a little break from the everyday life and dream yourself away to beautiful destinations.

Here you will find pictures and tales from tropical beaches, tips for traveling with kids and lots of activities from surfing to mountain hiking and so much more.

The site will be in Norwegian, but don't hesitate to contact me if you have any requests, questions or feedback :)

Le Retour

Backyard Beauties

2015-06-06T13:02:00.004+02:00

I have these gorgeous rhododendrons in my backyard and they just keep blooming more and more for each day. I just can't stop photographing them, causing me to miss the bus to work in the mornings. I just wish these pretty flowers could stay in bloom all year round.

Cherry Blossoms And White Shirts

2015-04-29T19:30:00.000+02:00

I am totally obsessed with trees in bloom as the first days of Spring arrive. I can't stop taking pictures of these beautiful flowers with the blue skies as a backdrop. I wish we could have these gorgeous cherry blossoms all year round, they always disappear too quickly. So this year I decided to really enjoy them and admire them as much as possible. Since I also have my muse and favourite fashion blogger back in town, what could be better than to combine the two in a photoshoot.

This pretty babe is rocking that 70's vibe under the cherry blossoms. Check out the rest of the photos on my website:

iPhone Diaries - Back in Paris

French style packing

Grey and rainy in Paris unfortunately

I'm always in awe of how beautiful all the buildings are! Would love to have an apartment here

A little dose of Paris

2015-04-12T19:05:00.000+02:00

I should have posted photos from our Easter holidays in Paris by now, but time never seems to be on my side. This weekend I have finally had lots of time to myself and I'm having an intense Sunday photo editing process! Here are some of the pictures I had on my Olympus camera, but I have to admit that on this vacation, I took a lot of snapshots with my iPhone. I am considering creating a few iPhone diary entries as I've done earlier. In that way I create nice little photo memories for myself and it gives you an idea on how my days were spent in this beautiful city.

New York Belle

2015-04-12T14:16:00.001+02:00

My good friend Elle is back from New York and this time she is staying for good here in Oslo!

The best part is that we are now neighbours and can hang out all the time! Needless to say I am super happy and excited.

This weekend we met up and I showed her her new neighbourhood and we found some pretty nice locations for photoshoots.

Here is a little sneak peek of some of the photos I took of her.

More coming soon.

In the meantime, check out her great fashion blog: Elle's Empire State.

Paris Inspired

2015-03-29T17:19:00.003+02:00

Very excited about going to Paris in a few days!

In the meantime I am drooling over these apartments with a view of the Eiffel tower.

See more Paris inspired photos on my interior blog: One Day My Home

Sunday - At home details

2015-03-29T13:30:00.001+02:00

I love to have lots of fresh roses everywhere in my apartment and I especially get the time to admire them on a relaxing sunday like this one.

I'm working on my travel diary from the Seychelles and finding inspiration to write again, hopefully it won't take too long to finish this project now.

Kodak Black and White

I finally finished this roll of black and white film, when I was on holiday in september and just recently had it developed.
Here are some photos from Croatia and the lovely little island of Lopud, where I got married last year.

One Day My Home

2015-03-12T14:43:00.003+01:00

I've started a site with lots of interior and architecture inspiration.

I have always had a bunch of images saved on my computer and tumblr, of beautiful rooms and houses and felt the need to collect and store them all in one place, as well as share them with you.

I'm obsessed with minimalistic decor and spaces that make you feel at peace and relaxed. So here you have a whole collection of places and decorating ideas to inspire your own home.

One Day My Home

A Travel Diary

2015-01-25T20:09:00.000+01:00

Currently working on this little project.

As Oslo is covered in snow and ice, I escape to warmer climates in the afternoons through my numerous photos taken in the Seychelles.

I hope it will end up in a nice little collection describing my adventures in this tropical paradise.

And yes, my New Year's resolution and goal to take new photos everyday, didn't exactly go as planned I'm afraid. Trying to take quality photos each day and posting them here was much tougher than I had hoped. I blame it on full time jobs and having pratically no light to work with in the winter season. These factors, unfortunately, kill my inspiration and imagination.

But I will definitely continue to post more often that I used to and share both new and old photos and keep you updated on the different projects I am working on.

Stay tuned for more tropical bliss.

Wow, keeping this resolution about posting at least once a day, was tougher than I thought. Being forced to stay at home sick, as well and having nearly no energy might also have had an impact. But I am slowly feeling better, have started to take pictures again and will make up for the missing posts.

Home.

Pour Paris et Charlie Hebdo

I've been sick the past days, so needless to say, my creativity and the will to pick up my camera has been severely diminished. But I still have been very motivated to work with my photos and have been diving into my lightroom catalogues and started working on a nice little series from my trip to the Lofoten, in Northern Norway.

I am so fascinated by people's homes, the house (especially if they are tiny), the location, what's in the windows -it all gets me so curious. I keep making up stories about who lives there and try to imagine what it would be like to live there myself and what their daily life consists of.

Here are three homes, that really get my imagination running wild.

More to come...
