Family Documentary & Portrait

Artwork for your wall and to hold in your hand

My name’s Ola Alexander and I’m here to artfully document your family in portraiture & visual stories to hang on your walls and to hold in your hand.

My wish for your family, especially your kids, is to grow around those pieces and explore the stories behind them every time you pause and look at them throughout the years.

I hope that they become a landmark, and a portal to instantly bring back that fuzzy feeling of being at home, of belonging, of being loved and seen, now and later when they are away, and maybe building their own homes.

I invite you to celebrate your family in this curated boutique photography experience that I’m crafting for you and your needs.

Let me create photography that will become home for you and your family.


hello & welcome!

heartfelt. iconic. timeless.

The boutique experience

You come with a dream, I bring art and expertise. I’ll hold your hand throughout the whole process so you can sit back and enjoy the experience.

It starts with an initial call, followed by a free consultation where we dream about the shape of the session and artwork that will celebrate your family best. You will decide if we go with documentary photography, documentary style portraits or both, or if we do it in-home or I take you places.

I’m crafting this experience specifically for your family. I take the time to get to know you a little bit better and I make sure to create space and time for everyone to feel amazing and seen during the session. There will be laughs and joy, but also simple life as it is, maybe your favorite music or activity that will help you to enjoy this moment.

After a short while, we will meet again and I will guide you through a curated selection of photographs so that you can order the artwork of your family that you have been dreaming about.

And you’ll be in awe when they arrive; they will become your favorite pieces around which you and your kids will spend some quality time. 

“We could not recommend Ola enough. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, she's really talented and passionate at what she does. She made the whole experience as easy as possible for our kids and us. The photos are just so special and are making wonderful forever memories to our family. We very much look forward to having Ola capture special moments of our family in the future. “

“The session with Ola was pure pleasure! Ola is fantastic, joyful and full of creative ideas. The atmosphere was very friendly during the session, so the lens didn't bother us at all. Ola has established a great rapport with the kids, who were happy to cooperate with her. Ola is able to capture the beauty and magic of the moment. I am delighted with the photos and I recommend her with all my heart!”
