We are different.
We are similar.
AUTUMN–WINTER ’25/26
II part
For a long time, I carried a thought in my mind – how I would love, one day, to invite many different Women to a photoshoot. And finally, it HAPPENED. I kept postponing it, knowing that our two-day shoots are already tight on time, but this time I decided to take the leap.
The Women of my life gathered at the manor – some I’ve known since my very first minutes, others fate allowed me to meet later. With Vaida, we grew up together from schoolgirls to “captains” of our own brands, quietly admiring each other’s strength. Sigita, founder of a Lithuanian brands boutique and “Big Hug,” has been walking beside me for more than a decade – supporting and motivating me not to give up.
Justina is my sister, my greatest support, and the very first person I called even when I saw two lines on the test. Fausta and Liucija, my nieces, are the “elixir of youth” in my creative world, always reminding me what’s currently trending. Erika is the V&V photographer to whom the word “impossible” simply does not exist, and Laura is the creative director and my right hand – a pairing that, thankfully, fate got right.
Karolina is the one I’ve known for the shortest time, yet I admire her no less for her patience and diligence. Behind the scenes was Natalija – a creative videographer with whom working feels easy and free of stress.
At Raguvėlė Manor, different Women gathered – united by the same sense of beauty and aesthetics. Together, they bloomed. And I looked at them and admired, to my very fingertips, their sisterhood, their joy in discovering one another, and their ability to be supporters – and, when needed, the ones who gently “nudge” each other forward.
