Arianna was almost 2 years old when I took these shots of her (with an old film camera) and she totally was in the game: she was such a tiny, shining poser! The image (below) where she is carrying the bag wins it all!

Anisa & her family [Parma, 2017]
I met Anisa in 2017, via a a mutual friend. She is a year younger than me and she always impressed me with her sweetness and resilience, there is so much light in her soul! Enjoy this beautiful photo memory which I cherish as I believe is one of the most outstanding services I have done.
Agata & Angela [Marore, 2017]
Agata was 2 months old when I met her with her super momma Angela and granny. She was tiny but really present! With her little eyes she would brows around, trying to determine what kind of situation it was. Even though it was a late afternoon of early June, we did maximize the timing of the shooting as it was hot. We were lucky enough to take profit of a gorgeous summer light, fighting a bit to find some shadows. Enjoy this beautiful memory!
Annasole & Emi [Parma, 2017]
Annasole and Emi were born six weeks apart and were totally unaware of the photo shoot we had planned for them. For not knowing each other and being so small, I must admit that their interaction had been quite convincing and above all peaceful! A sincere Thanks goes to Elisa and Tomomi for their openness and for allowing their two little princesses to pose in front of my lens in the beautiful Botanical Garden!

“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second” -Marc Riboud
I couldn’t agree more with this quote, especially when so much life and joy are running around you and your camera!
Yanet [Parma, 2017]
Yanet was working in the wine industry. She asked me to take some corporate shots of her. The first part was taken in the studio whilst, for the second round, we chose as outdoor location the Botanical Garden, which was at its best at the beginning of the summer. I still remember her being extremely approachable, with a sincere, shy and trusty smile!
Emma & Sara [Parma, 2017]
Emma had grit and a sparkle! It was a pleasure to take some portraits of her, together with her caring momma Sara. Emma’s soul, daring, expansive and buoyant, came out real well during the photo session! Enjoy this beautiful memory.
Mattia [Parma, 2017]
Mattia was 3 years old at the time of this photo session. He was super cute and he seemed already to be self-aware of his character, strong-willed and quite independent for his tender age. He displayed his natural talent for sport, his heart being close on side to his parents and on the other side definitely leaning onto the ball!
Margherita & Lisa [Casalbaroncolo, 2017]
It is always a pleasure to take portraits of this family that I have known for many years. It makes good to see their reciprocal affection.

Morena & Nina [Parma, 2017]
I have known Morena and Nina since they were little girls as, for a few years, I was their babysitter. In spring 2017 their momma asked me to take some shots of them and I couldn’t wait for it! These girls are not only beautiful, they both also have a strong character, and it always fascinating for me to observe their siblings bond, especially when it works well, as in their case!
Alice [Parma, 2017]
Alice was dressed in a classic, perfect way and her eyes were really showing out her genuine soul! I enjoyed this photo session as the subject was feeling comfortable and perfectly fitting into the environment. Some of these shots, especially those edited in black and white, remind me of an early 20th century imperial princess…
Elisa [Parma, 2017]
Elisa is family, she is the wife of my second cousin. She came to the studio as she needed some updated corporate shots for her cv, which we took. This something unexpected happened and the blank ink took the power!
Margot [Parma, 2017]
Margot is the mascotte of our neighbors. We have seen her as a puppy when she was at first taken home. At that time she was 2 months old: she had sharp, tiny teeth and was long like one of my shoes. In this photo session, she was 1 year old. Nos she has become a buoyant, noisy, exciting girl. She is not the most obedient, but she is super affectionate and is always seeking for some treats. She is in love with her toys and, on the leash, she pulls like a mule but we love her: she is terrific and is now the soul of the neighborhood! Thank you for posing for me, little girl!
