Ella, Milly & Pippa are the Fyfe sisters. I had the pleasure to meet them with their parents, Lynsey and Ross, in May 2018. They are friends of friends and we spent a couple of hours together at their place. I was touched by their warm welcome and to observe the mutual love and deep respect that the members of this lovely family had one for another. The girls were simply great, the 2 oldest were really sociable and pleasantly lively. I am delighted by the outcome of this session that and warmed my heart and was uncomplicated! Thank you Lynsey & Ross and for trusting my photographic skills!

I was introduced to Erica by our mutual friend Catrìona and we became friends. She invited me to her home to take some portraits of her beautiful 16 months old Florence, her youngest daughter. Florence was not only given a beautiful name by her parents, she was also a beautiful child, self-confident and curious. She was shy but not scared and after a few minutes of a wee chat, she became pretty comfortable in front of the camera so that we could easily work together and, at the end of the shooting, there was some big eruptive laughs from her side, also thanks to her super momma’s love and help, plus the beneficial presence of a sweet and careful Ethel (their fluffy doggy!). The vibrant and powerful colors of Florence’s outfits won’t come unnoticed! Thank you Erica & Mark for trusting my artistic capabilities. Enjoy these lovely photo memories dated April 2017!

Eva was a cute, attentive, inquisitive and calm baby. She had beautiful, big, deep blue eyes and she was astoundingly cherished by her parents and family who were very much fond of her! A big Thanks to the Cooper family for posing in front of my lens! Enjoy these lovely memories dated March 2018!

The precise memory I have of 3 years old Lola was of a very cute, tiny, lively, friendly, affectionate ballerina who could become transform quickly into a courageous warrior! She really had the capacity to engage and to lead other people in her games! I immediately had a soft spot for her and I believe that her pictures show pretty well her personality. Enjoy these lovely memories with a big Thanks to super Momma Blandine!!

Girls in the studio [Parma, 2018]

Back to the years between 2015 and 2019, I was heavily interested in studio photography. I have also always liked that photography can bring people together and somehow create a sense of community. I asked the mothers of these young princesses (who belong to 3 different nationalities and all lived in Parma at that time) to take them to the studio and they enthusiastically agreed (the girls were quite driven about the idea too!). The fact that the older girls were together in the same class in primary school helped and in fact the outcome of this session was lovely!

Mattia, Elisa & Mariano [Parma, 2018]

Mattia is lucky, he has a good relationship with both his mom and dad. Although in different ways, his bond with his parents is deep, built upon mutual trust and love and you can notice it in the images below. It was good for me to spend some time with this family and to see them together in a state of ease! Enjoy these memories dated January 2018!

These sisters had both BIG personalities! One couldn’t stay still without not watching what the other was up to without being cheekily involved in it! I loved interacting with them and with their super-hearted momma and these few pictures do not really honor them!! Enjoy these lively, lovely memories dated January 2018!

I had the pleasure to spend a couple of hours at Kristjana’s home with her boys. The family’s environment was warm and relaxed and this could well be noticed in her kids attitude! Enjoy these photo memories dated January 2018!

This was the third time I had the chance to take some portraits of cheerful Annasole and the second time we gathered at the studio. She was dressed in a stylish outfit and was in a good mood. She seemed to be curious about the lighting in the studio and she wasn’t scared at all with the indoor environment. I believe that she had a good fun there, in the company of her parents Elisa and George! Enjoy these cute memories dated December 2017!

Elisa, Mattia’s mum, is one of my best friends. It was something for me to see reflected in her 3 years old son some of her personality’s traits. Mattia was a young lively boy, very determined, extremely focused and perceptive. Whilst playing with the ball he was over the moon, as well as being at the presence of his adoring mum! Enjoy these loving memories dated October 2017!

Viola & Francesco [Parma, 2017]

Francesco and Viola were both…lively! She was a cheerful cutie pie, all action and with a strong character, whilst he seemed to be more composed, reserved and thoughtful. However, the level of energy they spread around when they were playing together was unique, you can tell! Enjoy these lovely photo memories dates August 2017 and Thanks to Valentina and her young family for posing in front of my lens!

Simone & Samuele [Parma, 2017]

Simone showed this clever, adult and funny personality’s side and was brilliant and quick with the ball, whilst his little brother Samuele seemed to fully enjoy a few hours of freedom in the park! This little one was all giggles and smiles, and intentionally trying to get all of his parents attention! Enjoy these lovely memories dated July 2017. THANK you, Mora family, for posing in front of my camera!

Arianna [Parma, 2017]

I find that a black & white editing often gives to children’s pictures something more than just an extra vibrancy. It seems to me that it allows them “to shine” more, fixing them in time, in a more powerful way than colour photos. I was delighted to observe and to capture Diletta’s family deep bond and their mutual, strong love one for the other. After all, little princess Arianna was the glowy star of the shooting, as expected! Enjoy these lovely photo memories dated July 2017!

During my career as children’s photographer, I have rarely met a 1 year old baby being S O expressive! Francene was really one a kind! She was not only pretty, funny, cuddled and incredibly loved by her proud parents, but also she became like a young actress on stage, the moment after I took out my camera from the bag! Enjoy these cut and lovely photo memories! And Thanks to the Arellano family for posing in front of my lens!

During the dry summer season, it was a pleasure to take the camera in my hands to witness Adele & Cloe’s playful beauty and complicity. These girls ARE stunners, like their beautiful momma! A big Thanks to this family for braving July’s heat!
