Hmm… where do I start? How about a short version?
I was born and raised in Lithuania (central Europe). My parents spent their weekends in the makeshift darkroom in our bathroom, and that is how I got into photography (also why my favorite color is dark red!). My mom and I traveled a lot while I was growing up, so there were always opportunities for photographs. I’ve been to 25 countries and I’m always daydreaming about traveling more.
I came to the US in 2000 to study music. I enjoyed it, but I kept going back to my hobby, and taking pictures of all my friends, all the time. I was the official choir photographer, theater photographer, which led to a job in the public relations department, which gave me a studio. Yay! I was able to start photographing models, couples, and eventually weddings. I’ve been shooting weddings since 2003 and loving it!
In the non-photographic world, I am a slave to three kitties and two birds. I have a Masters in music with a concentration in choral conducting. I am addicted to chocolate, especially Ferrero Rocher. I like anything round/circular. I don’t drink wine unless it’s a “wine product” with off-the-scale sweetness factor. I don’t watch TV unless someone else is watching something – but I follow Grey’s Anatomy religiously. I love to ice skate and ski. I love everything about winter. I am a morning person. I trip and bump into things daily. My family is scattered all over the world. I love a good laugh. Internet and I… we’re tight.
