the joy of motherhood


I love being a mother. 

I was so focused on my studies, on photography my whole life before Erica "popped out". She brought along so much happiness in my life. I found it challenging to balance what I loved so much before - photography, with being a mother  and it took a while to make it through. 

There are so many things that I love and cherish about it, things that go beyond words. I kiss Erica from head to toes every time I feel my heart explodes with love. She tickles, laughs and at the end she says "again". It's a great feeling when I am looking into her eyes or whenever she calls me "mama" or "mami". Sometimes I look around and check it if it's real, am I the one who is she calling? : )

I am very grateful that I will be called by another soul "mama". Even though I had so much stress in the last 9 months and many moments of inner tearing, I felt blessed in the same time. I sensed an uplifting feeling, and I perceived it as if I carry around a small treasure inside of me. 

I can not wait until I hold her in my arms and be the first person to tell her "Welcome into this life! I love you!"

Are you curious as well how your child looks like?

School - First Day of School!

 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

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...
