I have been a family photographer to my friends for years. First, with my analogue cameras, then, with Digital SLR.
As we live in different countries for ages already, I only go to visit them once a year.
So this book covers our time spent together in Spring 2010 in Vilnius, Lithuania's capital.
Dedicated to my dearest friend Julija, her lovely children Alisa Rute and Robert Just,
as well as a King of this Kingdom- Aleksandrs Betins, and their 3 dogs: Bura, Macintosh and Erica.
From London with LOVE,
Julija Svetlova.
