Welcome
dear visitor!
Thank you for taking the time to have a look around my website. Here is a little about me. My name is Airide. You can find me in Essex, Wickford. I’m an award-winning Family Photographer. Wife to a wonderful husband, mum to the most charming, kind and beautiful boy who is constantly making my heart flutter, and photographer – chaser of sweet moments, and of beautiful light. My photography is where I feel my artistic creativity comes to life!
I was born in a beautiful, green, full of forests, rivers and lakes country, Lithuania. After graduation I came to England to learn english and explore this amazing place. And since then, I only go to Lithuania to visit my family. England became my second home. I began capturing images at a young age – Kodak film cameras were my go-to! After I came studying in England, I fell in love with architecture and lifestyle photography, which translated to portraiture much later on.
I am impulsive, passionate and when I get an idea there is no stopping me. Nothing makes me happier than sleeping in on Sundays, enjoying slow mornings at home with my family, and actually sipping hot coffee before the day begins. I believe in honest moments, sleeping in on Sundays, and quality time with the ones we love; in images that remind us there is joy in the small things. I believe in gallery walls that remind you of your “why” every day you look at those memories in print.
FAMILY VALUES
I might work with businesses but I also believe in capturing memories and marking milestones for families. I love those priceless moments and the emotional connection that only comes from family – a new little baby at home, kids blowing bubbles on a fun afternoon out, lots of giggles and games on a shoot, the tears and smiles when the family album arrives, and a beautiful framed piece hangs with pride of place in the home… I create bright, relaxed images and turn them into keepsakes and stylish art for the home. I work with families at home, or on location at the special places that matter most to them across England.
PASSION FOR PRINTS
Remember flicking through family albums as a child? A wedding, christening albums filled with family and friends? The familiar framed pictures on the mantelpiece, or sideboard? I believe in printing photographs and having albums and frames to share with future generations. I love to create family heirlooms with a contemporary twist and stylish wall-art for the modern home. That’s why I have carefully chosen some fabulous professional print companies to partner with. I work with each of my clients to hand select the ideal materials, colour scheme and style for their family so we can create beautiful bespoke print products. My amazing makers then use world-class professional digital printing, an amazing range of high quality materials, and hand craftsmanship to bring them to life so every item can truly be treasured.
“A picture is worth a thousands words”
Thank you for considering booking me to capture this special time in your family’s lives, I truly hope that you like my work as I’d love to meet you and produce a beautiful gallery for you to treasure!
