Family shoot [Casalbaroncolo, 2014]

My first shoot of 2014 shows a family that I love! Even though we are not blood related, I consider them as part of my family. Chiara and Pietro, I have “known” them since they were in the belly of their mum, yes, they are our neighbors! Throughout the years I have also met more times Lisa and Margherita, their first cousins who live just out of Parma. We met at their grandparents house and they posed for me.

In case you wonder whether they are twins, they are not: they were born 3 months apart!

Don’t ask my why this happened…

Back to Casalbaroncolo [2012]

I love Casalbaroncolo, as I love summer. I often pair these two elements in my head. That afternoon of the 3rd of August 2012 was definitely busy, in the sense that “the whole world” seemed to be in Casalbaroncolo! There was me, the twins Cristina & Mara, their 4 kids (of them, Pietro [son of Cristina] and Margherita [daughter of Mara] also looked like twins!), there was Chiara, Lisa with 3 friends, 2 cousins of Lisa & Margherita, the dogs, and…there were the horses! Enjoy these mixed memories 🙂

The best shot [Casalbaroncolo, 2011]

The best shot, from Casalbaroncolo’s session, is in my opinion this portrait of Margherita. I cherish it because…it is a fresh and pure moment of happiness, frozen in time by the camera. Margherita’s proverbial good character is echoed in the picture. Her laughter, even though you cannot hear her, is incredibly loud! This image passes on to me a feeling of wellbeing.
