Swedish photographer Micha Wissén has been chronicling her life on film since she was in her teens. Her work is natural and authentic, and the moments she captures have us dreaming of balmy summer nights and coconut scented skin. This summer in Mallorca, Micha's long term boyfriend Riley Harper proposed to her on a boat, just outside of a beautiful cove. These intimate moments, and the summer that followed, were captured on film.
On Sunday, we will find you… Starting my day off at the farmers market, stocking up with local veggies for the week and ending my day with Sunday dinner amongst close friends.
Describe yourself in three words…. Spontaneous, easy-going, creative.
Favourite holiday destination… Mallorca, Spain.
A summer memory you will never forget… This summer in Mallorca, when my boyfriend proposed on a boat outside of a beautiful cove.
You have a beautiful eye, how did you get in to photography… Ah thank you so much. Once upon a time it was super popular to post photo albums from your crazy weekend on facebook. Which is where my love for documentation started. I would document every house party when I was between 16-18 and I became a mini self-made event photographer. This eventually lead to two years of concert photography which later took a turn to fashion. My love for documenting natural moments and emotions has always been a big part of me, and today although I work with fashion I try to make it feel and look as organic and natural as possible.
What are your favourite peony pieces this season… I love love love all of the peony floral prints! My favourite is the Wildflower series.
We noticed all the styles you chose are sustainable, is this important to you... Absolutely, it’s incredibly important to me. I try to be as sustainable as I can, and you make the job easy when you make such gorgeous sustainable pieces!
What’s in your beach bag… SPF 30 and 50, a cute sarong, a good read, a few water bottles, my film camera, backgammon and a few beers.
One piece or bikini… Start the day with a bikini, end the day with a one piece.
Natural beauty product you can’t live without… Water!
Your favourite sunblock brand… Clinique.
Swim or sunbathe… A perfect combo of both.
Most recent tan lines… From my beautiful engagement ring.
Favourite spring blooms… Peonies of course!
Who do you most admire… Ambitious, strong, entrepreneurial women, who aren’t afraid of following their dreams.
Much loved beach read… Currently reading the Kepler series in Swedish, but when Im not reading at the beach you’ll find me playing backgammon with friends.
Favourite summer refreshment… Sangria.
A smell that takes you back in time… Freshly baked Swedish cinnamon buns.
Instant pick me up… A good work out!
Current song on repeat… John Mayer - New Light.
Describe your work in three words… Uncomplicated, natural, in the moment.
What inspires you… Moments, people and nature.
Describe your style… Scandinavian with a touch of LA.
You laugh the hardest when… I'm with all of my closest friends.
Words you live by… Find happiness in fuelling your passion.
What is your favourite thing about peony… I love the feeling I get when I see Peony's photos, the pieces really help elevate the vibe of a natural, curious, free and flirty woman.

Thread tape measure under your arms, around your back and across the fullest part of your bust. Once you have the tape measure lined up, relax your arms at either side
Your natural waistline is the narrowest part of your waist, above your belly button and below your rib cage. Run the tape measure around your waist (like a belt), keeping it straight.
Stand on a level surface with your feet together. Measure the fullest part of your bottom and upper thighs, not around your hip bones. Ensure the tape is straight around your body.
If you don't have a measuring tape, you can use a piece of string and then measure the string length with a ruler. Tape should be horizontal all around, and fit close to the body. These are tips to measure your body, not the garment.
