“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!

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!

“As I grew up, one of my strongest allies has been my sister” – Patti Smith

I have known Lisa and Margherita since they were little girls and it was a joy for me to take some portraits of them, back in March 2015. For being two sisters, they are different, not only in terms of age difference but also in their characters, but they do have points in common. They both love fashion and know what they want. I enjoyed spending one hour with them and their mum Mara!

The best shot [Parma, 2012]

This is the photo that struck me most of these sisters shooting. It will be because of its taste of a time gone, which is not so far away, it will because of Sara’s liveliness, of her spontaneous expression, of her curls flying in the air, of the speed that this imae generates, yes, well, the girls seem two fairies. Its title will be “Long live childhood”!

Sara and Martina are the daughters of my cousin’s husband from an earlier marriage and are, in an extended way, part of my family. In the summer of 2012, they were respectively 9 and 13 years old. I was struck by their liveliness, friendliness and their acrobatics skills: it seemed to me that they had NO limits in their flexibility! Sara was extremely lively, Martina was very sensible and was teaching her sister artistic gymnastics. Enjoy their photos, and copy them if you can!

Excuse me, what’s that?!

Daddy’s girls!

I babysat these two beautiful sisters for a few years, many years ago! If you look at them now, you would not be able to recognize them, as they look in this old collage (dated May 2011). I had a soft spot for them at that time, as well as I root for them now (we are still in touch!). Weirdly enough, I can confess that the most difficult task for me was to be sure that they had their homework done 🙂

Love you girls!
