Early September days are perfectly warm this year! So why not to spend those outside?

Big Day
I have one more big day today! It’s my youngest daughter’s first day in preschool! She starts attending the same kindergarten as Veronica and Anastasia did and will have the same teachers as her older sisters had, which is great! I’m happy about this, but also a bit worried. My concern is more about that our little pumpkin will get spoiled by another kids in no time, like it happened to Veronica. Though, on the other hand, I’m not sure if she could be spoiled even more than she already is by her sisters.
Это утро
Wow, it’s getting even colder! Look, Marge is in her winter hat again! My hands were freezing and became totally red while I was clicking. I was sorry for not taking gloves and scarves outside. And of course, it was just yesterday when I put away winter accessories.
Весна добралась до Риги!
I was terribly bad at updating my blog lately. And it’s not even summer, when we mostly will be living outside (which means no technology except my camera and phone with us through the whole days). I like the idea, but I do wish I had some more time to be able to make more records here. There are so many untold stories that, I’m pretty sure, would be fun or at least nice to remember.
So, the spring is finally here to stay. Not only the beautiful picture with budding flowers and new leaves, but also with a nice warmth in the air. This winter was so long and the coldness was so stubborn, that even mother-nature refused waiting any longer and started to beautify everything around here despite of the chill.
Небольшая воскресная прогулка
We woke up to this beautiful scene yesterday. Snow in March? Nothing unusual for us. Though, we would prefer it in December and January.
Сапожник без сапог. Часть II.
Back in November, I planned a personal project for December 2015. I asked local fellow photographers on my personal Facebook page if they would like to exchange a photo shoot with me. I offered them one hour meeting, when both, them and me, would be a model and a photographer. The truth is, I failed to make the project in time. The project evolves much slower than I would like it to, but the good thing is that it didn’t stop at all. And now I’m ready to show you the second part of it. I’ll remind that the first part was devoted to Yuliya Shumskaya.
This time I was meeting with a photographer, based in Salaspils, but working with her clients mostly in Riga, Yulia Kovalchuk from ArtMelange Studio. I’ll start from telling you how we almost didn’t meet. Like I usually do it, I had been recharging the camera battery pack before the shoot. But this time, I forgot to insert it back! I swear, it’s the first time something like that has happened to me! The moment I realised that it had been left at home I was ready to get on the tram. So I had to return to fetch the battery pack. Luckily, Yulia agreed to wait for me for another 40 minutes!
Сапожник без сапог. Часть I.
Wow, this post took me so long! I haven’t mentioned it on my blog, but there was a project planned for December. I made a call for my local photographer friends on Facebook and offered a free session in exchange for their free session. I had 3 requests (yeah, I’m not that popular and/or I don’t have that much local photographer-friends or acquaintances). I was really worried about how it would go and if it was a good idea at all. I named the project “A shoemaker without a shoe” (there’s such Russian proverb).
В Старую Ригу с Вероникой
My youngest totally monopolises my time right now, so I’ll be quick. I’ll only say that I have no clue where Veronica left her nice gloves that match her outfit. Though they did match great these violet flowers.
