Thank you Susan and Lauren, It was pleasure to meet with you and capture your natural beauty!

  BACK FROM UKRAINE Kids, Personal

June 15th, 2009

We arrived back to home yesterday….It feels a little sad, a little happy….But soooo excited and breathtaking!
I have a mixed feelings inside of me…It is not easy to describe how you feel when you have two homes- one in Ukraine, where are your parents and most emotional memories from your life and second one  here, is in  US, where you built your family and your future…

Our extremely short trip to Kiev, Ukraine officially finished.

Lyosha and I spent unbelievably amazing seven days with our family and close friends. We have not been there almost 3 years! And believe it or not nothing changed there, we felt like we are at home again…Like we never leave it.  Kiev is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in the world, believe me!
When we started to plan our journey, big surprise was waiting for me – one of our girls – Polina, from “Sabotage” dance group, (she lives in Egypt now), and she came to Kiev at the same time as we. It is means, we are ALL (four girls, who danced together for 6 years!!!!!!) will meet again! In Kiev. Unbelievable! What a fortune! We never get together in 5 years!!!

At the same short time Lesha and I even visited my grandmother in Zvenigorodka town (3 hours drive from Kiev).

Time flies so fast ….It is still difficult to believe –we DID IT!!!!
These seven days were like a dream! We did not rest, almost did not sleep but we thankful for this opportunity!

Here are a few things which I missed and I have got it during our trip:
- Wild strawberries….I never saw this berry in US! (Thank you mom!!!)
- Wild Poppy flowers in the field (I and Lyosha saw a lot of poppies during our way to Zvenigorodka)
- Our favorite soups- Akroshka  and Borsch
- Beautiful stylish cafes and Looong menu of coffee
- A lot of beautiful Ukrainian girls walking on the street (most of them dressed like a cover girl and of course wear high heels!)
Andreevsky spusk – my favorite street
- A lot of churches with golden cupola’s
- Energy of old big city
- Mr. Sneak –the most delicious  sandwich ever!
- Elle magazine in Russian language (I bought it in airport)

( 9 hours from Buffalo to Ukraine and 9 and a half from Ukraine to buffalo)

This is almost the same story I'd have told if I went back to Minsk. I can feel every emotion you brought back from this journey. Beautiful photos of friends and the city, and of little details. :)

  NICOLE :: BAT MITZVAH Kids, Photo shoots, Slide Shows

March 1st, 2009

Last weekend I and lyosha were invited to Philadelphia to capture a very special day. A little adorable girl Nicole cerebrated her special birthday. Special, because it has religious significance-  Bat Mitzvah. According to Jewish Law, every Jewish girl becomes a Bat Mitzvah at age 12. It was a great experience for us- we never shoot Bat Mitzvah before and we were very impressed…Nicole, her parents and grandparents prepared touchable speeches and stories about their beautiful family. The most emotional part was when Nicole started her speech….She told about her future life, career, and her love to family. Just breathtaking…..
Thank you Diana and Marat , thank you SO much for making us a part of that day!
