Hi there!
I’m so glad you found your way here <3
This blog is about living and working creatively, honing the craft of photography and letting your heart and intuition lead the way. It’s about day dreaming and longing and finally taking action, and all the wonderful and frustrating challenges along the way.
My name is Agnes, and I’m a restless creative from Sweden, who spend the days in my kitchen, garden or studio, either growing, cooking or photographing food. I love to capture people in their element with my camera, focusing on the mood and story of the moment. I also teach other creatives how to grow in their visual storytelling.
4 years ago I left the big city and moved 800 kilometers north, to the small town Piteå. I was longing for a slower life closer to nature, and I had just met an incredible man from this particular town ;-) We fell in love, and in a heartbeat I moved to be with him.
To me the “good life” consists of working with my hands, creating images, cooking and eating amazing food, spending time in nature and on the yoga mat and connecting with fellow creatives.
My intuition is what led me to start my own business and this blog. 8 years ago I was very lost in life. I had just quit Art School and was on the lookout for a new creative outlet. I wanted to work in a way that gave me plenty of freedom and time to do things on my own terms.
My love and curiosity for food took me in the direction of food blogging, and for many years recipe development was my main source of income. My favorite part of the process was photographing the food. Capturing the colors and textures and creating visual stories with my home environment and nature as inspiration.
Since the start Cashew Kitchen has evolved to become a space for creative learning. Here I teach photography, styling, storytelling and intuitive, heart-centered business - through e-courses, tutorials, presets and personal blog posts. You can also book me for a portrait session. Perhaps in your home or studio? I love to capture people in their element, doing the things that they love in a place that is special to them.
If you are new here I would love to get to know you! What brought you here and what are your current challenges? You can pop into Instagram and send me DM <3
here’s a bunch of random facts about me:
First things first: I’m an aries sun, scorpio moon, gemini rising. My Human Design is Manifestor, Enneagram 3/4 and Myer-Briggs INFJ. That pretty much says it all, right?Classic sensitive and creative soul, with lots of ambition, impatience and a tendency to wanna do everything by herself…
I am a self-taught photographer. I haven’t done any formal photographic training, but I have studied in several Art Schools, which has definitely affected my way of viewing and working with images.
I have a weakness for all things fantasy and science fiction, especially if it involves witches.
And American high school movies!
My favorite band since I was twelve is Kent <3
I’m a trained Hatha/Vinyasa yoga teacher, and regularly teach classes here in Piteå.
If I went to Hogwarts, I would definitely be in Rawenclaw.
