Available to hire
I’m Sandra Jolly, a portrait and event photographer based in Sollentuna, Sweden. I run my own photography business from home, and my core strengths are organizational skills, focus, and self-discipline, which have been hugely advantageous when working from home and running my business. I’m currently seeking new employment opportunities.
I established a photography business serving the Stockholm area as a portrait and event photographer. I have many repeat clients who appreciate not just my photography style, but also my excellent customer care. My images have been featured on international photography blogs including National Geographic, Lemonade, and Lens, and I maintain a strong online portfolio. You can find more information and interviews on my website.
