Marilia, Rafael and Rafinha are a Brazilian family who a year ago decided to revolutionize their life and moved to Italy, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, in the pleasant town of Arona (my hometown!). When Marilia saw for the first time the village of Orta San Giulio was enchanted by its beauty: time here seems to have stopped and it is not a case that it has been classified as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. So when they asked me to organize a family photo shoot, we immediately thought of a walk through the lanes of this magical hamlet overlooking the Lake Orta. We took these photos in May, so we chose a spring look with bright and airy colors. Rafinha has wonderful blue eyes, so for him his mother chose a bright blue … and I don’t know if you can see the boats drawn on his pants, perfectly themed for a photo shoot by the lake!
I work to fix forever memories of that great gift that is our life and this task is at the same time challenging and exciting. Today, like every day, in front of images these photos that tell me the story of a family who built everything on love and courage, I think my work is truly beautiful.
