It made good to have these two siblings in the studio. They were different character wise, but there was a deep, positive bond between them. And their gaze had a similar deepness!

Zeno and Zoe [Parma, 2016]
I had the pleasure to have Zeno and Zoe in the studio for a lively portrait session! The were gorgeous and the outcome was successful. Thanks to mamma Cate, who brought the appropriate toys-distractions!
Livia and Amelia [Parma, 2016]
They say that a super mum and a super dad will pave your way and I cannot disagree with that! It was a lovely experience for me to take some portraits of this well-knit family. Elisa and Vittorio are amazingly caring and attentive parents and their two little princesses adored them! Both Livia and Amelia displayed enchanting, bubbly and strong personalities, apart from being extremely cute!
Emi [Parma, 2016]
Emi was a tiny bunch of love who already had clear ideas, and that included staying in her mom’s arms as long as possible! The studio experience, at first, is intimidating for babies, who need to be reassured (mostly because of the lighting, the flashlight and the backdrop) and made them to feel as comfortable as possible. During this short session everything went smoothly and Emi revealed herself as a beautiful, expressive princess! Thank you Tomomi for trusting my photographic capabilities!
Veronica [Marore, 2016]
Press yourself close
to the ground.
The earth
still smells of summer
and your body
still smells of love.
But the grass
is already yellowed above you.
The wind is cold
and full of thistledown.
And the dream which waylays you
shadow-footed
your dream
has autumn eyes.
– Poem by Hilde Domin
Elena [Parma, 2016]
We played quite a lot in the studio during this portrait session. Elena’s big eyes and the blue hat won it all, eventually.
Lago Santo [August 2016]
This was my first hike to Lago Santo (Holy lake), a place where I felt peace and left a piece of my heart. I took only a couple of shots as I was seriously focused on the walk up!
Francesca [Parma, 2016]
Sometimes life asks you to stand in front of a mirror and to look at yourself!
Arianna, Diletta & Davide [Parma, 2016]
Looking back at these photos dated spring 2016, I immediately sense the simplicity and the deepness of Diletta and Davide’s love, as well as their pride in little Arianna, who had realised that she was the centre of the attention and liked that! Enjoy these lovely memories.
Tuono [Parma, 2016]
Being cute comes at a price. In fact you end up dealing with a lot of fans! Tuono (his name translated in English is “Thunder”) was not only adored by his owner but also by neighbors and other friends. I was a proud supporter of this mini superstar and real poser! I still remember his cheeky expression when he wanted something done according to his way!
Family portraits [Parma, 2016]
Francesca and I, we are second cousins. I was delighted to take some portraits of her (and of little Samuele in her bump) along with the other 2 loves of her life, Simone and Marco! Enjoy these memories!
Family portrait session [Parma, 2016]
I like to stay in touch with people over the years. I have known Caterina since we were teenagers and we were also in the same class at high school. It has been a pleasure, and yet it is, to see her family grow and to witness it with my camera! Her children are both beautiful and healthy. Zeno’s distinctive feature was, at that time, to be super lively and a fun-seeker, whilst Zoe hit me for her tender clam and sweetness. Enjoy these memories!
Elena [Parma, 2016]
Elena was young, beautiful and approachable. I can tell that she has been a source of inspirations for many portrait photographers!
Yukari part II [Parma, 2016]
“What you owe your father is higher than the mountain, what you owe your mother is deeper than the ocean”
父の恩は山よりも高く、母の恩は海よりも深し。
Yukari [Parma, 2016]
I was lucky enough to have the chance to work in Parma for members of the Japanese community whose family was part of. On this occasion I took some portraits of this lovely in a park. Slightly shy at the beginning, during the course of our photo session Yukari discovered the taste of posing as a model and, at the end, she was clearly mastering it and was all smiles and self-confidence!
Momma’s whisperer!
