School - First Day of School!

Image
 I never thought I would feel so strangely emotional about this day—the first day of school for Erica, my oldest daughter. It's a swirl of mixed feelings and emotions. For six years, you’ve struggled with a small child who cried because she didn’t want to go to kindergarten. She was sick countless times, and most of those times she was in your arms. And now, here she is—a school child. It’s not as though the days of sickness are behind us, but it feels like a different phase, as if she’s stepping into a new world, and you’re right there with her, stepping into it too. For years, you wished for the kids to grow, hoping it would get easier. But in this moment, I wished time would stop, and I wished she were little again. Yet it’s just a fleeting moment, and none of us can stop time. But what we can do is live better in the NOW and enjoy it more fully. I embrace this day with open arms—the newness and the unknown that’s ahead—and I’m happy about it! I’m excited to get to know the futu

Child Photo Tips

Image
Usually at night, I am terrible tired and it takes me around 5 minutes to fall asleep.  But it was one evening, when I just couldn't sleep. I guess I drank my afternoon coffee too late but however my head was full of things: photography, my children, my wish to speak about what I do and spinning in my head all in the same time. And this is how it came up the idea of speaking to mothers how to photograph their children. Why not? I wish to speak to other audience as well about documentary photography...but why not to start with mothers and with what I do right now most of my time I do photography, I do work and take different commissions, which I love but still in sooo much time I am with my children, playing, running with them, going to playground and always photographing them with my mobile camera. Therefor, that night before sleeping I wrote a small idea of what I will do...to speak about photography with mobile camera to mothers, how they can improve their photography skill and o

our morning frozen walk

Image
This morning, I felt dizzy, so pushed myself to go out even it was everything frozen, minus 5 degrees. I feel like a bear, who doesn't want to go out until it's spring sometimes.  However the view was wonderful, our bodies happier as we got Vitamine D, and my husband glad that I finally did this in the morning on cold. He insisted to get my nose out :))))  Terrible cold but it was OK in the sun! My breast was out to feed Ava. What can I do? It ended up with one hour of walk, sun and Ava's nap.

love for post!

My new earings and I!!! Souvenirs from Kiev!  I think it is Corona effect: the joy for post. After two years, in which so many things are online,even friends, family: grandmother, sisters and brother. I am so happy for surprises in general and so is Erica, my older daughter. You can bring her a leaf from the tree and tell her it's a gift and she will say :"waw, mama, is this for me? wonderful, thank you!". This makes me laugh and love her even more.  However, I realised, I feel the joy of a child when I receive now something in post, a letter, a postcard or even small gifts like yesterday.  I received from a dear friend of mine, a package full of small presents for all of us. They were souvenirs from Kiev, as she lived there for a while. I was so happy... In general I am glad for surprise gifts. But now it was double, triple the happiness and joyful, just because I have never been to Ukraine, somebody dear thought of us, when buying them and they were colorful just like m

Saint Nicholas!

Happy Saint Nicholas!! I wish everybody has a nice surprise tomorrow, in shoes, in their lives, in their hearts! Erica wanted her papa to come faster in bed... "what if papa scares Saint Nicholas when he comes and brings gifts? We behave all year long, we were wise and now, papa scares him" 😂 ...something like all the wisdom and nice behaviour spoiled by papa!  The speach one minute before falling asleep!

Erica is waiting... the challenge

Image
Erica waiting for me! I feel she has been waiting for me the whole week. There were so intense days, with a lot of photo sessions and she had to follow the schedule, actually both girls, or even all three of them, my husband included! She was waiting for me... we start our ritual in bed, before sleeping by looking and reading a book. Tonight I had to spent a bit of time with Ava, who was falling asleep as she was more tired. Meanwhile, Erica started to look at her new book. She is with her night light with Winnie the Pooh so she can see the book. And here I am with one side breastfeeding and with one hand wanting to be a Caravaggio in photography, willing to capture the tenebrism of the moment.
