The Classico Portraits experience
Vacation photography in Italy for families who bond through travel
How does a vacation photo session like this work?
It’s super relaxed and I guide you through the whole process
1. GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER CALL
We hop on a Zoom call to get to know each other. We do a virtual walk-through of the spaces in your home and start planning the types of images, themes and products best for your space and budget.
We'll then confirm your photoshoot date with a €2490 reservation fee.
2. BONUS TRIP PLANNING ASSISTANCE
We’re here to help you relive your amazing trip forever, but we don’t stop at just photoshoot planning.
If you need help choosing destinations and finding accommodation we’ll happily share our local knowledge with you.
It’s important to know which vendors here are reliable, and which aren’t. I’m here to make sure you choose good ones for your photoshoot, and all other activities too.
I’ll also help you style your outfits and if you’d like, we can even find hair and makeup services too.
3. THE PHOTO SESSION
I’ll meet you where you’re at, and you’ll come as you are. Skip, laugh, eat, drink and play as you always do, with just enough direction from me.
Let’s leave stiff, awkward posing in the 80s portrait studios where it belongs!

The ordering, designing and printing process:
The reservation fee of €1250 is applied automatically as credit toward your artwork order.
After the session, here’s what to expect:
1. SELECT YOUR FAVORITES, WITH HELP
At the end of your shoot, we’ll schedule a follow up Zoom call for once you’re home to view your gallery together and choose favorites. I’ll help you select ones that work best for each product, your home design and your budget.
Hint: the images that make you smile even when your teen is being “difficult” are perfect for your walls!
2. WE DESIGN YOUR ORDER
With my guidance, we pick products suited for the image and your space. Everything from the size, to the lighting of the room and surrounding decor is taken into consideration!
(The fun part: Your session is tailored to suit you so everything from the backdrop to your clothing and to the vibe, has already been considered in order to match your home perfectly making this design process easy and fun!)
3. I HANDLE THE REST
I have over 10 years of experience designing wall art and preparing images for print. I am passionate about creating timeless, durable wall art that fits perfectly in your home.
With this experience, your favourite images are prepared and then sent to one of my professional partner labs close to you.
They’ll then print and finalise your artwork and ship the order directly to your door, at no extra cost.

Hint: Your agriturismo (farm stay) or country villa can make for the perfect relaxed backdrop to your photoshoot, year-round. Especially if there are farm animals to visit, a pool to cool off in or a cooking class to be enjoyed!

Of course!
During your Zoom call I’ll get to know more about you in order to decide the direction of the shoot, including the location.
We’ll start with your lifestyle and interests, and then look at your home decor to ensure the backdrop of your images will suit your walls as well.
If you have kids joining the session, we’ll choose somewhere they can relax and safely explore.
Just you or you and a partner? We’ll pick somewhere that suits you perfectly. Maybe that’s a stop at a wine bar or gelateria, or a hike in the hills.
-
That’s totally normal, and don’t worry, I’ll help you out during our Zoom call.
If you’d like, I will also happily meet you at your hotel prior to help you make any final decisions. -
This photoshoot is a great opportunity to be pampered so we highly recommend professional make up and can help organize that for you!
-
You’ll confirm your date with a €2490 non-refundable reservation fee which is then deducted from your artwork order or can cover your first 10 digital files.
You could use that for a single small framed wall piece and not spend any more, but most of our clients spend anywhere from €3000 to €12,000 in addition, depending on finishes, sizes, and number of pieces. Most people spend somewhere in the middle but we’ll discuss all this in detail on your Zoom call.
No matter what you choose to spend, you’ll certainly come away with an end result that's perfect for you. Not too much, not too little, just the perfect collection to relive this trip forever.

Wall art is my specialty, and other print products like albums and keepsake boxes are available as well.
We gift you a free web-resolution digital version of each purchased image for sharing on social media.
Should you wish to purchase a high-resolution version of one of your printed portraits, suitable for printing digital-only packages start at €2490

Your reservation fee secures your date and is forfeited in the event of cancellations excluding bad weather which is considered dangerous.
If you need to reschedule due to travel delays or something else out of your control we can typically accommodate one reschedule, outside of high-season, for an admin fee of €250.
We highly recommend taking this into consideration when booking your travel.

I’d love to chat with them before you schedule. That way, I can address their concerns and reassure them that this will be FUN, not awkward, and definitely not work!
The whole idea of the session is to add to your travel experience together, not distract from it.
I promise to make it easy.
