Servizio fotografico Natale 2023

Immagine
  Natale a casa Le luci, le decorazioni, il profumo di biscotti o di qualcosa di delizioso che viene cucina. L'atmosfera accogliente e calda, lunghe serate trascorse insieme.

Scottish garden, full bloom. Of children, flowers, and first steps

Immagine
This is about our walks through Botanical Gardens of St Andrews. We've been here in April , to see the first spring flowers and the start of Gruffalo's trail. The trail is now completed, and the garden is in full bloom. We checked out the trail, heard some live music - there was a concert on the meadow, walked and ran around, and also took pictures, of flowers, and children. These walks were special, because all five of us were doing them. Sweet first steps, wobbly feet and spread arms, falling and standing up again. And we get to the flowers. And walk a bit more.

By the sea

Immagine
Rock climbing, treasure hunting, jumping, throwing pebbles in the water - the afternoon had it all and more. Chilly sea and round smooth pebbles met the feet. The tide came, and left again, gentle waves quietly lapping at the pebbles. The clouds gave way to sun. The beach, narrow because of high tide, was a magnet slowly revealing its attractions and treasures.

3 reasons to have your family photos in Villa Giulia park

Immagine
Villa Giulia is a park in historic center of Palermo. It has its origins in 18th century and is remarkable for its perfect square shape with diagonal alleys dividing the park in different sections. Marble statues and fountains, a sundial, shady alleys and open spaces, and wide variety of trees and shrubbery make it a popular spot both with locals and tourists.  If you'd like your family photos to have lush green background with a touch of special Sicilian atmosphere, this park definitely should be considered. It ticks all the boxes - plenty of space, nice surroundings, easy access, lots of options for things to do during your photo shoot to get natural and emotional images (anyway we don't do posed photos on the benches or next to flowering shrubs!).  Here are my top 3 reasons why villa Giulia is a great location for family photo sessions. Reason 1  Lots of space and diversity. The park has an alley with Ficus trees, a little bamboo forest, a hill with cacti and succulen...
