Although I was born in the United States, my family moved to Tuscany when I was seven years old, and I have called this beautiful region home ever since. Growing up here shaped the way I see beauty and connection. From golden sunsets over the rolling hills of Chianti to quiet streets tucked away in Siena and Florence, Tuscany has always inspired the way I see and photograph love.
I photograph couples traveling to Tuscany who want romantic, timeless photographs that feel like real memories. Whether you are celebrating an engagement, anniversary, honeymoon, surprise proposal, or simply your time together in Italy, I create relaxed and meaningful photography experiences designed to feel effortless, personal, and true to your relationship.
Having lived in Tuscany for over twenty years, I combine an American perspective with deep local knowledge to help couples discover beautiful hidden corners, avoid crowded locations, and feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Whether it is finding the perfect light, recommending meaningful locations, or helping camera shy couples relax, my goal is always to make the experience feel easy and enjoyable.
Over the years, I explored many genres of photography, but eventually found my true passion in documenting romantic love stories. Today, I work exclusively with couples and travelers looking to celebrate their connection through engagement, anniversary, proposal, honeymoon, and vacation photography in Tuscany.
My goal is simple: to help you slow down, enjoy your time together, and leave Tuscany with photographs that feel honest, emotional, and deeply personal, memories that bring you back to this season of life for years to come.
I offer professional couple photography services throughout Florence, Siena, Chianti, and the surrounding Tuscan countryside, creating photographs that feel genuine, intimate, and unmistakably yours. More than beautiful images, I want to create an experience that becomes a meaningful part of your trip, something that allows you to slow down, be present, and simply enjoy your time together.
My approach is calm, attentive, and gently guided. You do not need to worry about knowing how to pose or feeling awkward in front of the camera. I will offer clear direction and natural prompts throughout the session so that you feel comfortable, connected, and fully yourselves.
Many couples tell me they feel nervous before the session or worry that they're "not photogenic." I completely understand, and the good news is that you don't have to be. My goal isn't to create perfectly posed photographs, but to help you feel comfortable enough to simply enjoy being together. The most meaningful images are often found in the quiet moments between directions: a shared laugh, a gentle touch, or the way you naturally look at one another.
Whether we're wandering the medieval streets of Siena, exploring the timeless beauty of the Tuscan countryside, or discovering Florence in the soft glow of sunset, my goal is always the same: to create photographs that preserve not only how your journey looked, but how it felt. Long after your trip has ended, I want your images to transport you back to this chapter of your lives and the memories you created together.
Siena and the surrounding Tuscan countryside offer a softer, quieter kind of romance. Rolling hills, vineyards, golden light, cypress lined roads, and timeless medieval streets create the atmosphere Tuscany is famous for, peaceful, romantic, and beautifully unhurried.
Sessions here feel relaxed and intimate, perfect for couples who might be a little camera shy or simply want a slower, more relaxed photography experience. Together, we can wander medieval streets in Siena, watch the sunset over the rolling hills of Chianti, or discover hidden corners and quiet villages far from the crowds.
Whether you are celebrating an engagement, anniversary, honeymoon, surprise proposal, or simply documenting your travels through Italy, Siena and the Tuscan countryside offer a setting that feels timeless, emotional, and deeply connected to the essence of Tuscany. This location is especially loved by couples drawn to quiet beauty, meaningful moments, and photographs that feel natural, relaxed, and effortlessly romantic.
Florence offers a completely different kind of magic. Vibrant, artistic, and full of character, the city creates a breathtaking backdrop for couples who love timeless architecture, charming streets, grand piazzas, and the feeling of being immersed in some of Italy’s most iconic places.
Sessions in Florence feel cinematic and full of atmosphere, perfect for couples drawn to art, movement, and the romance of city life. Together, we can wander elegant streets at sunrise, admire Renaissance architecture, cross iconic bridges over the Arno River, or soak in the beauty and energy of this endlessly inspiring city.
Whether you are celebrating an engagement, anniversary, honeymoon, surprise proposal, or simply documenting your travels through Italy, Florence offers a setting that feels timeless, elegant, and unmistakably romantic. This location is especially loved by couples drawn to architecture, artistic beauty, iconic Italian scenery, and photographs that feel cinematic, refined, and full of European charm.

Honestly, there is no wrong answer, it really depends on the feeling and atmosphere you are drawn to.
Florence is perfect for couples who love art, architecture, iconic Italian scenery, and the feeling of being immersed in a vibrant city. It feels elegant, cinematic, and full of atmosphere, especially at sunrise when the streets are quieter.
Siena and the Tuscan countryside tend to feel slower, quieter, and more intimate, with rolling hills, vineyards, medieval streets, and the romantic feeling Tuscany is known for.
That said, both locations are beautiful for engagements, anniversaries, honeymoons, surprise proposals, or simply documenting your time together in Italy. If you are unsure, I am always happy to help you choose based on your personality, style, and the kind of feeling you want your photographs to have.
I currently offer both one hour and three hour sessions, depending on the kind of experience you are dreaming of. A shorter session is perfect for couples wanting a relaxed experience in one beautiful location, while longer sessions give us more time to explore, visit multiple spots, or create something a little more unique and story driven. If you have a specific vision in mind, I am always happy to create a custom experience.
The best time for photos is usually sunrise or the hour before sunset, when the light is soft and locations are often quieter. In Florence, early morning sessions are especially beautiful before the crowds arrive, while in Siena and the Tuscan countryside, sunset sessions often create the most romantic atmosphere.
Every season and location is different, and I will always help recommend the best timing based on your plans and the feeling you want your photographs to have.

After booking your photoshoot, I will send you a complimentary clothing guide to help you choose outfits that feel natural, comfortable, and beautifully connected to the Tuscan scenery. Inside, you will find my personal tips on what photographs best depending on the season, location, and overall feeling you want for your session.
Most importantly, I want you to feel confident and comfortable. If you are deciding between outfits, I am always happy to help. You are welcome to send me options beforehand, and I can guide you on what will photograph best for your location and the atmosphere you are hoping to create.
Whether we are photographing in Florence, Siena, or the Tuscan countryside, thoughtful outfit choices can help create photographs that feel natural, romantic, and beautifully connected to your surroundings.
First of all, you are definitely not alone. I would say this is one of the things couples tell me most before their session, and honestly, most of the people you see on my website felt exactly the same way.
You do not need to know how to pose or have any experience in front of the camera. My sessions are very guided, but in a way that still feels natural and true to who you are together. Rather than stiff poses, I gently guide you with small prompts and movement so that you can focus on each other instead of the camera.
My goal is for your session to feel relaxed, fun, and like a meaningful part of your trip together. Most couples leave saying, “That was actually way easier than we expected.”
