Family Photography

 

 

Where life begins, and love never ends

 

 

 

Being Italian, family is one of my most significant values! Yes. we have big families and sometimes it's hard to keep up with all, but I grew up valuing those connections, which is ingrained in what I do.

 

I love working with families and capturing their uniqueness and bond. My style is very simple and minimalistic, I like getting those natural moments that show the personality of that family.

 

I don't like stiff and traditional portraits. I like the smiles, the hugs and the tickles.

I like seeing the authenticity of your children!

 

Studio sessions are perfect for smaller children up to 12 or 18 months. For older children, I suggest shooting outdoors and London has so many beautiful parks or urban locations.

Children usually feel more themselves outdoors, they are free to move and run around resulting in relaxed and natural moments.

When I photograph an expecting mother, I don’t just see a bump.

I see a woman on the edge of becoming.

Becoming someone new.

Becoming more herself.

Each photo tells a story of strength, tenderness, and transformation.

And some stories are too meaningful to be left on a screen.

That’s why I believe in printing them.

Holding them.

Passing them down.

This album isn’t just for her, it’s for the child she’s carrying.

For the future hands that will open its pages and say,
“This was you. And this was me, becoming.”

Wouldn’t you love to create your own?

A boudoir workshop wasn’t on my radar a few years ago.
But now, it feels like the most natural next step.

As I grow my empowerment portrait work, this experience expanded how I see and photograph women.

We are layered. Emotional. Strong.
And this style of photography brings all of that to the surface.

I left feeling deeply inspired and ready to explore this vision even more, including with my maternity clients.

Because sometimes, one shoot can shift everything.

Thank you @magdalena_sienicka for introducing me to this form of art, so sensual, so powerful, so needed.

I’m now looking for a woman who’d love to model this concept for me.

Excited to try something bold and beautiful?

Your daughter will look at these photos one day.

Not just to see how you looked, but to understand how powerful you were.

She’ll see:

🌿 The strength it took to grow her

🌿 The tenderness you felt imagining her with Dad

🌿 The woman you were becoming

🌿 The love that already existed

This is why I believe in printed photos from your maternity shoot.

Because 20 years from now, when she asks about her beginning, you won’t just have stories, you’ll have proof.

Proof that this moment mattered.

Proof that she mattered.

Proof of the love story that started before birth.

A maternity photo session isn’t just for today.

It’s a love letter to your future family.

What legacy do you want to leave behind?

What would you want your child to know about this time?
So many mothers told me the same thing in different ways:
“I wish someone had said this sooner.”

That’s what Milk Tales is for.

A soft space for truths that don’t always get spoken out loud.

About feeding, yes but mostly about feelings.

About being a mother and being human.

If this speaks to you, the book is waiting for you too.
Available on amazon.
