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 my girls and I :) 

Thank you, Ana, so grateful... You made my day happier!

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...
