Lorenzo had such a privileged relationship with both of his parents! It was a privilege for me to acknowledge it in with of my camera!

Ami & Giulio [Parma, 2017]
Ami and Giulio did not know each other, their moms did not know each other, but I knew their moms. I knew that if I asked them to bring their kids to the studio they would be happy. And they were indeed. It was something to observe how two children who had never met each other before, also thanks to their uncomplicated and playful nature, were able to stand together, to play and to have fun together in front of the camera. And the outcome was anything but obvious!! Thank you Francesca and Tomomi for sticking to my plan!
Elena & the kids [Parma, 2017]
I have known Elena almost all my life and it has been a pleasure to see her family grow in number…to reach the number 5! Yes, 5 boys!! In the below pictures, you will see 2 of them, Pietro and Emanuele, with the super-speedy appearance of Riccardo who was not exactly in the mood for being photographed that day. And besides all, with a mum like theirs, fun is guaranteed!
Francesca, Simone & Samuele [Parma, 2017]
After a few moments of hesitation, Simone fit in the studio atmosphere massively well. He clearly had a soft spot for his little brother Samuele, who seemed instead to enjoy a lot of free space around him… even though, when Simone approached him, he then would suddenly try to squeeze him and kiss him! A caring mamma Francesca and a mighty nonna Rossana accompanied these two little princes to their portrait session and we framed them in a few photos!
Family session [Parma, 2017]
This family seemed so perfect and they were so well-prepared for their shooting, that you might think they were taken from a tv advert! Thank you, Olga & Co, for coming to the studio!
Arianna, Diletta & Davide [Parma, 2017]
Arianna wasn’t intimated by the studio (or maybe just the first 3 minutes!). She was into every.thing that was happening. These candid shots reflect her personality. It was a pleasure to experience the bond between her and her parents!
Luigi [Parma, 2017]
The 1st session you have in the studio can be challenging. Based on my experience with kids, less is more. After a few “serious presidential” headshots (with his super cute red bowtie!), Luigi was delighted to play with a clothes peg, which was of course a good solution to gain his attention!
Remedios and Tobias [Parma, 2016]
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.
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.
