Directly behind Pitti Palace are the insanely beautiful Boboli Gardens. The layout of the gardens were established by the Medici family and became a model for many European courts. Filled with ancient and Renaissance statues, grottos, fountains, flowers and unique birds, Boboli Gardens is a true open air museum with a touch of pure magic.
Boboli Gardens is one of my favorite places to enjoy in Florence, Italy. It’s also one of my favorite places to photograph portraits for families and…

I met Brook and Blaine for a summer anniversary photoshoot in Florence, Italy near San Miniato al Monte on a very hot day in July. Even though they were probably ready to jump in an ice cold swimming pool, as I know I was, they both looked stunning.
We met in front of the church of San Miniato al Monte, one of my favorite photography spots. The light here always seems to be soft, romantic and just right for…
Anniversary Photoshoot with Linda & Marv
Meeting in Piazza Santo Spirito
I met Linda and Marv for a photoshoot in Boboli Gardens to celebrate their anniversary. We began the shoot by meeting in the center of Piazza Santo Spirito in Florence on a misty September morning.

It’s always an adventure when I get asked to do a destination wedding shoot at a Tuscan villa. I’m never quite sure what to expect when I put the address in my navigation. Sometimes Italian roads aren’t exactly, well, roads. The destination however, is almost always worth the bumpy drive. This time was no exception.
My eyes lit up when I saw the gorgeous old villa surrounded by fantastic gardens filled with flowers and stone aged by time. Marissa…

After a brief hello and getting to know one another,…

Lifestyle Product Photography in Florence, Italy
This past January I had the pleasure of photographing Jose-Noel Rocha, creative director and lead designer for J.L. Rocha Collections. Jose-noel immediately struck me as a person who knows what they want and has the skills, personality and talent to get it. He explained to me his role in the company and a little about each product and then we quickly got to work.
We met in the morning by The Gates of Paradise in…
