This session took place beneath the elegant arcades of the Archiginnasio, one of the most iconic and atmospheric locations in the heart of the city. As a family photographer in Bologna, I love capturing stories in places filled with character and history.
The early morning light filtered through the stone arches, gently illuminating the frescoed ceilings and ancient walls. In this calm and timeless space, a family of three – mother, father, and son -stood together with grace and natural ease. Their soft, coordinated colors blended beautifully with the warm tones of the historic architecture.
The mother, wearing a flowing blue floral dress, brought a sense of quiet elegance to the images. The walls behind them, adorned with crests and intricate decorations, framed the family in a setting that felt both regal and intimate. This was not just a photoshoot – it was a way to preserve the feeling of being together, surrounded by centuries of art and beauty.
We moved between gently posed portraits and candid moments – smiles, laughter, subtle gestures of connection. It’s in these quiet details that the soul of a family story shines through. And it’s that honesty I always try to preserve in my images.
If you’re looking for a family photographer in Bologna, the city offers extraordinary locations that elevate every photograph. And the Archiginnasio, with its timeless atmosphere, is a perfect setting for capturing something both classic and deeply personal.
My photographic style is warm, authentic, and a little romantic. I work with soft, natural light and seek harmony between people and place. Each session is guided with care and intention, so your experience feels as beautiful as the final result.
Let’s create something lasting together – images that speak of love, heritage, and the quiet magic of simply being a family.
