After the summer, Alessia and Giovanni contacted me by email. They discovered my project and she was pregnant. We met together to agree to the style of the pictures and to discuss the organization of the job; then, we decided to take the picture at seventh month of pregnancy, the best for pictures.

Even if they lived several miles away from Milan, with only a meeting by person and a few email messages we finalized the scope of work. We also agreed to include Giovanni in the pictures, even if his availability arrived a bit later if compared with the Alessia's one.

The shooting session was taken in a studio in Milan and was about 4 hours long. My job was made easier by the spontaneity of Alessia and Giovanni. I had only a moment of panic, when Alessia and Giovanni joined the session with one of their dog: my scare was that the dog could have some uncontrollable reactions to flash lights or something similar; instead, he attended the shooting session in a quite way, almost interested...

Below you find a few pictures from the backstage; the "Alessia and Giovanni: pregnancy portraits" portfolio is published in the fine art gallery.
