Pre Wedding of Manoela and Gabriel, from Brazil

Soon it will be Manoela and Gabriel's wedding day, a young couple from Brazil living in Italy. This week we had the opportunity to record this beautiful pre-wedding session in Venice.

Venice for fun!

It's no secret that Venice has carried a magical atmosphere for centuries. The scenic is part of Venetian culture, with Carnival, the masks and the most famous Film Festival in Italy.

It was in this fun atmosphere that I met Sherry. She came from Phoenix, USA, where she lives, to get to know Italy and wanted to record this moment with a photo shoot in Venice.

She was travelling alone. It is always an honor to collaborate with someone to portray their image in a city far from their home country.

It rained a little that day, but we did a beautiful and fun photo shoot.

Yesterday the New York-Venice route was resumed with Delta Airlines. We hope it will be the return of those dear American travellers.

Pregnancy Session at Lake Como

When I lived in brazil, I used to photograph many pregnancy shootings. Here in Italy the requests for pregnancy photos are slowly appearing and this gives a balance in the work with tourists and weddings. It's so nice to talk to people with these plans to grow the family, value this time together for portraits that will mark such an important moment in their lives.

Spending this time with Ana Carla's family was special, because it was a family of Brazilians, and we could remember and share memories and stories about Brazil.

They chose the city of Como with its splendid lake for this lovely pregnancy shooting.

Solo Portraits - besides the selfies

When I started photographing people travelling in Italy I immediately imagined couples on their honeymoon. And when I was looking for inspiration on Instagram profiles and travel blogs about the cities I would work in, most of the photos were actually of couples.

But as requests for photo shoots came in, so did families, small and large groups and yes, people travelling alone!

At first it seemed a bit strange, but soon I got used to the idea and looked for more inspiration on how to photograph people alone.

I can say that the most interesting travel stories that clients have shared with me have been exactly in this type of session.

Emma was one of those nice clients who chose Florence to illustrate her solo trip through Italy.
