Her smile could ‘melt the ice’ and  can lift your mood immediately . She is such a joy to be around and is definitely a bright spot in our lives.

She loves me and enjoys playing peekaboo with me but as soon as she sees the mum her smile becomes  even brighter!

The trip wasn’t  photography related but I couldn’t  resist not to take couple of shots of a beautiful landscape of France. After 15 hours of driving from London I stopped in a very charming little town called Agen to find a hotel . I was so tired  that I couldn’t sleep for more than 5 hours as Redbull and coffee kicked in. So I picked up my camera and went for a little walk in the centre of Agen.

Here are some images from it.

His parents are originally from Algeria and well travelled in Europe before they settled in the United Kingdom.

It took a bit of effort to keep Samy off his dummy but by the end of the session it was unavoidable as he was getting very tired.


Even almost standing Samy was falling asleep:)

Deep into the sleep with his favorite toy:) Bless him….

Samy’s parents requested a few photographs with our daughter Amelija too. Don’t they look sweet together, do they?

Yes, it is live for a week and fully functioning. I thank and appreciate the feedback received from many visitors and clients what makes all the effort worth it .

It took us nearly 4 months to create it from scratch not including my personal time gathering ideas and researching on how I want my new web to look like. There were so many things to think about and work on hard such as website size, colors, design, text, layout of the pages ect. I wanted it to be simple to navigate, stylish, with large images and accessible  for the search engines.

We created the draft web design with my good friend and IT guru Sigis. Talented web designer Sigita gave us a hand with a final web design and tuning. She transformed our simple website into stylish and attractive to every customer eye. I would highly recommend her if you require help with the design of your website, a company brochure or a leaflet.  Once again many thanks to Sigis for his hard work, sleepless nights :) (there is 2 hours difference between Lithuania and UK), attention to every detail and dedication to create a great website. I would appreciate more comments or suggestions re: new website so it can serve well for all of us.

Every day is full of opportunities to find a beauty in something simple no matter what time of the day or weather it is. With some artificial or natural lighting such as sunset, sunrise or snow added to it  you can really create something spectacular!

In the past I used to think that I always need a tripod in low light in order to capture great pictures. But with experience I realized and became lazy (to carry the tripod with me all at all the times) so I found other ways to photograph nature images without tripod.

This picture was taken handheld without breathing:)
