Christmas photos, wherever it feels cosiest
Christmas photoshoot in a beautifully decorated studio? Absolutely
Gingerbread baking in your own kitchen? Even better
A walk through Christmas-lit Vilnius, wrapped in scarves and sharing something warm to drink?
Or maybe we get lucky with snow and disappear into the forest for an hour
Let’s turn whatever you love most about this season into a little Christmas date
YOUR CHRISTMAS COULD LOOK A LITTLE LIKE THIS
Have a peek at some stories I’ve had the joy of capturing
Hi! I’m Evelina,
Christmas is my favourite time of the year, and I am definitely not subtle about it!
I start playing Christmas songs earlier than most people would consider acceptable. I wander through Vilnius Old Town in December for no other reason than the smell of gingerbread and to see what new decorations have appeared. There’s a Harry Potter marathon at my place every year. So when someone mentions a Christmas photoshoot, I’m already excited!!
I photograph couples and families who often tell me they’re shy in front of a camera — and that’s exactly why I don’t expect you to arrive knowing how to pose or what to do.
My job is to make the whole experience feel easy. I’ll guide you, give you little prompts and activities, and step in whenever you need direction.
Ready for a little Christmas date of your own? Tell me the vibe you’re after, and let’s start planning!

“I wanted to avoid feeling awkward or too posed. She immediately made us feel relaxed and it was a breeze
Evelina was my first experience using a professional photographer and it could not have been better. It felt like white glove service from the beginning. Evelina was flexible with scheduling and prompt with responses.
We have pretty terrible lighting in our apartment, which had me worried, but after seeing the photos — even before the finishing touches — they were amazing and I knew we had made the right choice.
I could tell from her portfolio she was able to capture special, intimate moments that families will cherish forever. Could not be happier, thank you Evelina!”
— Tara & Josh
“Particularly impressed by her ability to capture natural and spontaneous expressions
We recently had the pleasure of participating in a photoshoot with Evelina and I can confidently say that it was a fantastic experience.
During the photo shoot, we were given instructions on what to do, but we were left to express ourselves. The lights, angles and compositions are all taken care of to perfection, demonstrating technical and artistic competence.
The final photos are simply stunning. We were particularly impressed by her ability to capture natural and spontaneous expressions, which make the photos truly unique.
Furthermore, the post-production service was equally splendid. The changes were carefully made, further enhancing the images without ever losing their authenticity.

3 easy steps to your cozy photoshoot experience
Step 1
Reach out to me and say hello
Your first step is contacting me with any ideas you have (it’s totally okay if you don’t know anything concrete). From there, we’ll have chat or schedule call to get to know each other, discuss key details, and I’ll provide you with personalized suggestions for locations, activities, and anything else you might need.
Step 2
We have a relaxed photoshoot
I’ll support you every step of the way while capturing your session. My #1 priority is to create a fun, relaxed experience so you can feel at ease and truly enjoy the moment. I’ll guide you throughout the shoot, tailor everything to your personalities, and give clear direction when needed — while also staying invisible to capture those precious candid moments when it matters most.

You have the freedom to choose your favorite shots. After photoshoot, I will send you the pictures to review and pick from.

Ideas for photoshoot at home
Home is where we’re naturally most at ease. Every corner is familiar and we can simply be ourselves. To make the photoshoot even more playful, and help you forget about the camera, we can plan a little activity to enjoy.
Here are a few ideas to get started:
Christmas photoshoot in City
When Christmas lights up the city and the streets start smelling like gingerbread, it would be a shame not to step outside and enjoy it.
Popular spots in Vilnius:
Winter photoshoot in Nature
Winter turns nature into something truly magical. We can’t schedule the snow, but we can have a plan waiting for it — and once everything turns white, grab the opportunity and make our photoshoot happen..
Some ideas for activities:
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely — when we’ve planned your session in advance.
I know that many people want their photographs for Christmas cards, presents, photo books or simply to enjoy during the holidays, so we’ll schedule your photoshoot and selection deadline accordingly.
The important part is not leaving everything until the very last minute. Christmas is one of the busiest photography seasons of the year, and we also need to allow time for you to select your favourite photographs and for me to retouch them.
The sooner we start planning, the more freedom you’ll have with dates and locations.
For studio photoshoots in particular, Christmas season begins surprisingly early. Studios often start introducing their Christmas setups during October, and popular evening and weekend slots can disappear quickly.
If having your photographs ready before Christmas is important to you, I strongly recommend planning in advance – we can start talking as early as October and November. Later than that, write anyway and I will tell you honestly what is possible.
Yes, please! I so much love including pets into photoshoot, they bring completely different vibe and energy to whole set! Just let me know beforehand so that, if we’re using a studio or another indoor location, I can make sure it’s pet-friendly.
You do not have to decide alone. Tell me the vibe you are after. Do you imagine something cosy, elegant, romantic, playful, minimalist, colourful, snowy or very Christmassy? Helping you choose is part of what you book me for.
Many out at the end of October, some in early November. They stay decorated until mid January.
Usually 40 to 60 € per hour. I will send options at different price points.
Start with the feeling rather than immediately reaching for matching red sweaters.
For a cosy home session, soft knits, pyjamas and relaxed textures can look wonderful. For a more elegant studio, we might choose dresses, suits or richer fabrics. Outdoors, layers, coats, scarves and boots can become part of the whole visual story.
I’ll help you coordinate colours and outfits once we’ve chosen the location.
We’ll keep an eye on the forecast and decide what makes the most sense. Depending on the situation, we can adjust the time, location or move indoors.
Lithuanian winter likes having opinions, so flexibility is part of the plan.
This is one of the most common concerns I hear from parents — “Our child is very shy” or the complete opposite, “They have endless energy and won’t sit still.” Both are absolutely fine.
I usually put a little extra thought into the planning when children are involved. We’ll include something they genuinely enjoy — a game, a little activity, decorating gingerbread, exploring the studio or anything else that gives them something fun to focus on. That’s often how I connect with them quickly, and suddenly the photoshoot feels much more like play than something they’re expected to “behave” for.
We’ll give them time, keep things playful and adapt to their personality rather than forcing them into poses.
And if a little chaos still happens? Then we photograph what Christmas with your children actually looks like. I definitely don’t need perfectly still, perfectly smiling children to create beautiful family photographs.
