Hello,
My name is Jurate and I’m a professional photographer who is working with families, newborns and kids! It’s amazing to work with my clients and bring ideas to real life, to capture special days and moments for them, see how kids grow up (maybe one day I will take all senior photos for my newborn clients! ). Photography for me is not only art but moments and memories frozen in time, not only for us to go back and remember it but for our kids, grandkids and more generations after that. And I enjoy every moment in my work!
I will see you in our next session!
Love, Jurate
I’m also a mom, army wife, sister and daughter. As a military wife I have to call home many different places and now my home is Sierra Vista. Before I came to Arizona my home was in many different states and countries, but most of my time I spent in Fort Drum, New York state and Camp Humphreys, South Korea. Every location brought something different in my photography and how I see my photos in the end. I was honored to have my first exhibition with my friends photographers in South Korea and working now on the new ideas too!
I was born and raised in Lithuania. During my childhood, one of my favorite things was going through family photo albums. We also had a film camera. It was my task to take film rolls to photography shops for printing pictures. So I have felt very attracted to photography since I was little. However, at that time I did not think that it could ever become my real job.
Everything changed when I moved to America in 2016. I spent a lot of time traveling with my family in different states. So I had a lot of excellent opportunities for taking interesting pictures. It became a true hobby. Every time I felt like I could make my pictures look slightly better. Then in 2018 I had my first client. Consequently, I started studying at the New York Institute of Photography where I have already completed Professional Photography, Photoshop for photographers courses and Business for Photographers. Also, I became a member of the Professional Photographers Society of New York State for 2019. My work was published in more than 20 different Photographers magazines.
As a photographer I am always trying to explore new fields, but at this time I feel such a special love for my old dads camera! It took me months to try and use it and I am still exploring film cameras, but this process is so amazing for me as a photographer. When I work outdoors I use only natural light, which I really love! I want to capture beautiful backgrounds for my clients in each location. When I work in a studio, we have different feelings and I always use my studio lights to create portraits.
I love to work with all my clients and to catch their natural emotions. As a result, I can try to do everything to make you laugh or wound your natural emotions during the photo shoot. Pictures are memories for the rest of our lives. No matter if it’s your first time with a professional photographer or you have done your photos regularly, I’m happy to be part of this journey. You have to have the best experience in your session, and this is my job to help you get where. There is nothing like seeing beautiful pictures that you will love forever.
From the beginning I knew that I wanted to focus on newborn and family photography. And specially multiples stole my heart! Working with babies requires exceptional patience. But results are extremely rewarding. When you see amazing pictures with cute little smiles, it gives you the warmest feeling in the world. Your babies stay little just for such a short time, so these memories will be ones of life time! I can honestly say that I am addicted to photography and I will always continue doing my best!
