Who am I?
About your Italian Photographer
Who and why of your Italian photographer:
I am a kiwi girl who married an English Italian. His mother is from Oxford, England, and father from Cassino, Italy.
Therefore I live between New Zealand (based in Christchurch) and Italy (based in Cassino).I travel both countries creating gorgeous family portraits. I tend to follow the sun, so aim to never be cold!!!
And so I am a native English speaker (with a kiwi accent!!). I combine that with pretty good Spanish (I lived and travelled for 3 years in South America) and ever improving Italian. ( I think my Italian grammar is better than my husbands, but his slang is way better than mine. He had quite a few years head start on the Italian language front).
Also, I have a gorgeous son, who is almost an adult…wow time goes so fast. I am so pleased I have so many photographs and videos of him to remember all the precious moments when he was little.
Fun fact: Amazingly, the number of our house where we live in both countries is 36…how could that happen?? Meant to be I think!
I LOVE travelling, it is my “why”. New places, new cultures, new food. Learning about different people, how they live, what’s important in their culture, the scenery, the heritage…. why would you not!
And I LOVE creating beautiful and memorable images. Family portraits that capture the love, the small moments, and the precious ties of family.
So, if you have a place you are thinking about for vacation portraits, let me know where. I will definitely try to get there if I can!!
Some of my favourite things to do it Italy
What does a photographer do it Italy
I love exploring, meeting new people and creating images to help me remember all the little moments!!
Trying the local food, and eating lots of pizza are a must for me!!
Visiting a Steve McCurry exhibition, and his many famous portraits, with Afghan Girl one of my favourites, but there are so many favourites!
The Pantheon is one of my favourite buildings in the world. So often when I am in Rome I just have to pop in again!
