Laura, Michele & Francesco

During the Christmas holiday period, I met up with Laura, a friend whom I first met several years ago in Rome at Jonathan’s apartment in Trastevere. At the time Laura was also living in the same apartment building and she was a regular guest on Jonathan’s rooftop terrace for his delicious cooking.

Fast forward several years … Laura found the debonaire Michele and as a result, their gorgeous son Francesco was born. Fast forward some more and the whole family decided to make a trip to discover Australia, also to experience surfing on the east coast from Noosa to Long Reef beach.

During their summer holiday, we met up in Sydney and I completed a photo shoot with all three in my studio. It was such a pleasure to see Laura again, and to meet Michele and Francesco for the first time. I was enchanted and I am so pleased that the occasion was marked by some beautiful portraits of a happy Italian family.

It’s easy to see who is the most photogenic in the family…
