This time of the year I always go to Italy to visit my family. I love my country, it’s so beautiful and I do miss it. I wish I had extra time to stay, go visit friends, see more of my Turin and some of my favourite places. However with only a short few days to enjoy all I usually just want to be with my family and make the most of the little time we have together.

This time I did stay a few more days than usual and managed to fit a couple’s shoot in Sestriere with these beautiful souls.

Sestriere is so close to Turin, only an hour and a half drive. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. Up at 2000m the sun was so strong we ended up having to take layers off and even bask in the sun between breaks of shooting.

Alessia and Alessandro were such a joy to photograph, they are so natural in front of the camera and so willing and excited for adventure. Creating photographs you love takes time and effort and a desire to go exploring to find locations worthy of the shots you are after. I love working with couples who have the vision and trust the process and me. Everything is possible when you allow yourself to have the freedom to be…

Some of my favourite images from the shoot. It wasn’t easy to select just a few…
