My journey started long before the digital era, experimenting with analog cameras and darkroom magic. My first paid job was photographing an Alice Cooper concert, a wild introduction to professional photography that sparked my lifelong love for visual storytelling.

After years of traveling, teaching skiing in Austria, and completing a Ph.D. in physiotherapy, I set my camera aside for a while. But when I became a mother, that creative spark returned stronger than ever.

Now, through Born Wild Photography, I help couples craft intentional, intimate wedding experiences across Norway, from Lofoten’s dramatic peaks to hidden fjords. I only photograph in Norway because this is home. I know the weather, the light, and the secret places you can’t just find online.

My mission is simple: to help you elope in Norway in a way that feels authentic, meaningful, and completely yours and to capture it all in photographs that hold the warmth and magic of the day for a lifetime.





For me, photography is all about storytelling, capturing real, unscripted moments that reflect who you are. The wind in your hair, your laughter echoing through the fjords, the sparkle in your eyes when you look at each other — those are the moments I live to capture.
