Book your spot

You pay in euros. A €50 deposit holds your date and the rest is due at the studio on the day of the session. The deposit is paid by bank transfer: when you pick a date I send you my bank details on WhatsApp — I don't publish them on a public page. There is no card checkout and no automatic calendar: I hold your spot by hand and confirm it as soon as the transfer arrives. If a transfer from your bank is complicated, tell me before you book and we'll find the simplest way. The price tier follows the day you book, not the day of the session: all sessions are in November, so booking now keeps today's price.

Been to the studio before? Your Christmas session is €197, same session, same conditions — and that price does not change, whenever you book. The deposit is non-refundable, but it isn't lost: if you can't come it stays as credit toward another session, and you can pass it on to a friend or a relative. Prints, albums and calendars are chosen after the session and are not included.

Where we are

A studio in Livorno,
a short drive down the coast

The studio is at Via delle Cateratte 2A, 57122 Livorno, Italy. It's on the ground floor, there's free parking right outside, and you can walk straight in with a stroller.

Getting here

  • From the Darby Military Community (Camp Darby) and Tirrenia, just north of Livorno, down the coast road.
  • From Pisa and Pisa International Airport, straight south toward the port of Livorno.
  • From the rest of Livorno: the studio is near the port, on the ground floor of a quiet building.

Parking and access

  • Free parking right in front of the studio.
  • Ground floor: a stroller comes straight in, no stairs.
  • Heated, private and quiet: one family at a time, by appointment only.

How it works

Three steps, all in English

There is no online booking form to fight with. You write to me, we pick a date together, and the date is yours as soon as the deposit lands.

01

Message me on WhatsApp

Tell me how many of you are coming, how old the children are, and whether you'd like your dog in the photos. I answer in English.

02

Pick a date, send the deposit

€50 by bank transfer. I send you my bank details on WhatsApp, and your spot is confirmed as soon as the transfer arrives.

03

Come to the studio

Via delle Cateratte 2A, Livorno, free parking outside. Before you come you get a short PDF guide on what to wear.

WhatsApp +39 377 225 8608 · the studio runs on Italian time (CET, UTC+1 in winter), so a message sent in the evening from the United States lands here overnight.

Delivery and holiday timing

Mailing cards home?
Book early November and tell me

Your gallery arrives by email by mid-December, about two to three weeks after the session. USPS deadlines for APO/FPO AE addresses fall earlier than that — in recent years around December 9 for Priority Mail — and they change every year, so check the current dates on usps.com.

If your photos have to travel to the United States, book one of the first dates in November and say so when you book: I'll edit your gallery first and send it to you early.

I can't control the mail. I can control when your photos are ready, and that part I'll do for you.

The Christmas set seen whole: a shelf with the word XMAS, candles and natural wood in the Livorno studio

The studio and the set

White, wood,
and nothing fake

Two Nordic-style Christmas scenes: a lot of white, natural wood, a few simple trees. I don't use printed backdrops — those sheets on a wall that look like a room in the photo and like nothing at all in person. Every object you see here is real, and children are allowed to touch it. The set is rebuilt every year: the photos on this page are from past editions.

  • Heated, private and quiet: one family at a time, by appointment only.
  • Ground floor, free parking outside, room for the stroller.
  • A relax corner with two sofas, coffee and something sweet while the kids get changed.
  • A make-up corner with a mirror and proper lights.
  • Dogs are welcome — tell me when you book.

Past Christmas sessions

Who comes to a Christmas session

Babies, toddlers, brothers and sisters, couples, grandparents, expecting moms and dogs. The set is the same for everyone; what changes is how much time we take and how much we play.

Proof #1

“We booked the Christmas photo session with Ilaria and we couldn't be happier! Ilaria made the whole thing enjoyable and fun for all of us, especially for our two-year-old. The result was fantastic, and so was the quality of the products (prints and album). We're really happy to have this beautiful memory of our family.”

Veronica Fantozzi · ★★★★★ · Google review, translated from Italian

Proof #2

“Wonderful and professional. She put me at ease right away and gave me the memory of some beautiful moments. Thank you again, Ilaria.”

Chiara Capanni · ★★★★★ · Google review, translated from Italian

Proof #3

“Ilaria is a photographer who can catch the soul of the people in front of her. My wife did the maternity and newborn sessions and we had a REALLY great experience!”

Alessandro Anguzza · ★★★★★ · Google review, translated from Italian

Gift ideas · Livorno

A Christmas gift that
doesn't end up in a drawer

Yes — the booking, the session itself and the delivery of your photos all happen in English. Write to me in English on WhatsApp and we'll take it from there. I'm Italian and my studio has been in Livorno since 2018.
The studio is at Via delle Cateratte 2A, 57122 Livorno, Italy, on the ground floor, with free parking right outside. The Darby Military Community (Camp Darby) and Tirrenia are just north of Livorno, down the coast road, so families stationed there come here for the session instead of driving to Florence.
Yes: parking is free and right in front of the studio, and the studio is on the ground floor, so a stroller rolls straight in. There are no stairs between your car and the set.
It's €257 for the whole family if you book by 30 September, €297 in October and €347 from 1 November: 45 minutes in the studio, the Christmas set, more than 40 outfits for little ones (sizes 3 months to 4 years) and 15 high-resolution photos by email. Brothers and sisters are photographed together at no extra cost, and families who have been to the studio before pay €197 whenever they book.
A €50 deposit holds your date and the remaining €217 is paid at the studio on the day. The deposit is paid by bank transfer: I send you my bank details on WhatsApp, I don't publish them on a public page, and there is no card checkout. The deposit is non-refundable, but it isn't lost: if you can't come it stays as credit toward another session, and you can pass it on to a friend or a relative.
There are more than 40 outfits in the studio for little ones, sizes 3 months to 4 years, and they're included. For everyone else the palette is white, cream and beige; skip light blue, pink, light green, black and orange, big logos, prints, and Santa or reindeer sweaters. After you book you get a short PDF guide with photo examples.
Galleries go out by mid-December, about two to three weeks after the session. USPS deadlines for APO/FPO AE addresses come earlier than that — around December 9 in recent years, and they change every year. If your cards have to reach the United States, book one of the first dates in November and tell me when you book: I'll edit your gallery first and send it to you early.
No. Couples, sisters, groups of friends, grandparents with their grandchildren, expecting moms and families with a dog all book this set. Tell me who's coming when you book and I'll plan the 45 minutes around you.
Yes, dogs are welcome — tell me when you book so I can set the session up for them. There are dogs in the photos on this page: they've been part of these Christmas sets before.
Meltdowns are normal and the 45 minutes are built around them: no forced poses, no fake smiles, and there's always time to stop, play and start again. If your child is sick that week we move the date — just message me as soon as you can; if there are no Christmas dates left, your deposit carries over to another session.
No. This is a real Nordic-style Christmas set — white, natural wood, small trees and objects children can actually touch — not a Santa set and not a printed backdrop. If what you're looking for is a photo with Santa, this isn't the right session.
Yes. Message me and I'll prepare a gift card for the session: you pay by bank transfer, I email it to you in English to print or forward, and the person who receives it picks their own date. I'll ask you for their name and for what you'd like written on it.
Yes, and they are not part of the session price: you choose them after the session, when you see your photos. There are calendars, albums, prints in several sizes and framed pieces — it's the simplest way to solve the presents for the whole family with one afternoon in the studio.
Yes, all year round and in English: newborn, maternity, sitter, cake smash, family and dog sessions. The rest of my site is in Italian, so the fastest way is to message me on WhatsApp and tell me what you're looking for.
