Christmas is almost here

Christmas is the time for joy and fun galore

It was so amazing to see everyone again. Over the year, the little girl grew up and now it took a little while for her to feel more adventurous. We spent a fantastic morning together. It’s a lot of fun to think about different ideas and activities – it’s a really magical time of year for family photography.

      

      

     

One of the most anticipated holidays of the year is almost here, and there’s a lot to be done, there seems to be magic in the air. It’s not long now before we will be relaxing with a few days off, sharing the days between Christmas and New Year with loved ones and looking forward to a happy and successful 2021.

Christening and family photography in Kaunas 2020 07 18

I arrived early and took  few photos while  family was preparing for  the day. I’ve started with a few photos of Herkus and then started pictures of some older children. I especially like the shots while they were getting ready to celebrate.

    

    

We all went to Pal. Church of Archibishop Jurgis Matulaitis, which was a cosy and magnificent building with such a beautiful soft light. I love making photography in the churches – the textures and light create really impressive conditions for photographing children and families.

    

     

I love photographing blessings and christenings – there is something about the combination of such a wonderful, yet serious, occasion.

This shot was at the end of the ceremony when Linas lifted boy Herkus into the air in “Lion King” style, where everyone had seams. All family members were included in the service to make it a special occasion for everyone.

We then headed to a nearby park where it was a good place and perfect mood to take pictures of the family.

     

     

It was a perfect day and I enjoyed my photos. I hope you enjoy watching.

Anniversary of Ieva

While the majority of my work is with children I photograph families of all ages and so I was thrilled when Ieva arranged 30 years anniversary and asked me to commemorate Her celebration.

 

I had met Ieva previously as when I used to photograph Majus christening. It was wonderful to see Ieva with husband again, and to meet their beautiful kid Majus.

      

     

     

“LighHouse” Kaunas Lagoon is a beautiful spot for photographs and as we didn’t want to walk too far we utilized the stunning spaces around “LighHouse” for the pictures. It’s a lovely spot for family portraits as there is a lot of variety without having to walk for miles.

     

     

We had a wonderful time taking lovely natural family photographs in LighHouse Kaunas Lagoon . We used natural light in and around Kaunas Lagoon.

     

     

We had a great time with a beautiful family.

Sister’s christening day

I love photographing christenings and so I was thrilled when Eglė asked me to document special day.

I also love that this image shows the architecture  church of Vytautas the Great, which is such a beautiful building with the wonderful light streaming in from behind the family and the repeated arches of the window and the roof really drawing the eye back to the family, to the focus, to christening day.

     

     

     

     

The christening itself at Vytautas Church in Kaunas was just lovely – a really wonderful and relaxed day.  The service was lovely, part of the usual weekly service and with a very interesting sermon which is always a treat.

When children are involved, always exciting and unpredictable.

     

     

     

A wonderful time was had by all and here are just a few favorites from the day.
