Ciao bella! I am so proud to announce the release of JOY : LIFE LESSONS FROM A TUSCAN VILLA ! What a privilege to have shot the images for this book and work with Debbie Travis! We shot on location at Debbie’s sublime villa in Tuscany, where she hosts all kinds of amazing retreats from the Tuscan Girls Getaway to gourmet cooking and wellness retreats and even a classic car rally.
Debbie and I met on a Style at Home shoot in London about ten years ago. What a fun time we had shooting her pretty house and going on a London adventure to Debbie’s favorite places. We did kept in touch over the years and when my cousin was getting married in Italy, I reached out to Debbie to see if she had any photography projects and she had this book deal on her desk. And that’s how I ended up shooting this dream project!
Enjoy seeing a taste of this joyful book, full of beautiful scenery, delicious food and lovely chefs, colorful locals and more. We’d love to hear your comments on the book!
“ EAT WELL ~ mangia bene
LAUGH MORE ~ ridi spesso
LOVE MOST ~ amo molto”
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.”
“The name of Italy has magic in its very syllables”
“You may have the universe if I may have Italy”
Many more blog posts to come - I admit, I am a chronic over shooter and shot 20,000 for this project! Be sure to follow along on Instagram with us for lots more images and behind the scenes!
