Why it is important to capture those precious family moments. Why treating portraits as pieces of art says so much about you and your family.

Back To School?

Its that time of the year again. The long summer is over and minds turn to the year ahead.
How many of you take First Day Back At School photos?
Are they funny? Reflective?
What about Mum and Dad? Sad or relieved?
I would love to know?
Happy New Sch Year

A slight departure from my normal style of photography but one which I really enjoyed . I was delighted to be asked to take photographs at the wedding of Guilia and Kevin just outside Rome a month or so past. It was such a lovely day; the weather was wonderful and the venue , I Casali del Pino ( was truly very special. [ 85 more words ]

"We Are Family, I got my big sister with me!" ( loosely adapted from the hit song by Sister Sledge). I discovered today that this song was released in 1979!!!! OMG, so long ago but what a classic. Do you have a "big sister?" I don't know how different it is with 2 sisters as opposed to a sister and younger brother but I know from my own experience that my relationship with my sister, who is about 6 years older than me, went from kind of pain in the backside when I was about 5 years old, to total disowning of suggestion of family ties during teenage years to becoming like a 2nd Mum as I went through college.

"When the weather's fine We go fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea We're always happy Life's for livin' yeah, that's our philosophy" ( In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry) Its August and its HOT!!! Well it is here in Italy. Last week in Rome we were dealing with temperatures of 40 degrees C and thats hot! Its not surprising then that everyone with an ounce of intelligence heads off to the lakes or, in my case, the sea. [ 258 more words ]

On Sunday I had a great session working with a super professional model called Tess. I met her at a riding centre called "Il Branco" in Fregene, very close by Fuimicino airport in Rome. The plan was to explore different types of natural light early on in the session and then move towards using other lighting forms later. There was an old traveller style caravan, beautifully coloured and decorated, which we used as our first backdrop. [ 83 more words ]

I know this is a bit after the event but it was such an interesting day when a steam train came to Manziana for last year`s Sagra della Castagna, that I felt it needed chronicling. I have never seen so many people at Manziana station and it was really interesting to feel the excitement build as we all waited. Naturally, the train was over an hour late but when it finally arrived, people seemed to have forgotten about this and really enjoyed the spectacle of the steam billowing into the soft warm air and the noise of the train whistle as it approached the station.
