Photos that heal

 

Lay back, act natural and let’s take some pictures

 

This isn’t about a photo session, or even the pictures, it’s about You. Forget about posing and feeling stiff in front of the camera. Imagine going on a walk with an old friend, who just happens to have a camera with them. My process is free and flowy, and my only goal is to capture your true self.

 

Style and Approach



I draw inspiration from the moment and the surroundings, carefully attuning myself to the atmosphere, intuitively knowing when to be discreet and when to step forward, guiding you to feel at ease with both me and my camera. Whether on the joyous day of your wedding or in the laughter-filled moments of a family trip, I seek to capture the emotions, the serenity, the chaos, and every fleeting detail that weaves together the unique story of that unforgettable day.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do we book you?

To book me simply fill out the form on my contact page or email me directly at camillacheade@gmail.com. We can schedule a consultation to discuss your needs and secure your date with a signed contract (for weddings) and deposit.

2. How far in advance should we book you?

It depends. For weddings or special events, I recommend securing your photographer early in the planning process. For other photo sessions, such as family, engagement, or proposal, there’s usually more flexibility with dates. In any case, the earlier, the better!

3. Do you edit your photos?

Yes, I edit my photographs. Editing is an essential part of my work and visual identity. My approach to post-production is subtle and true to the original image, focusing on color, light, and contrast to preserve a natural look. Each image is carefully edited and delivered in high resolution via a private online gallery.

4. Do you offer prints, or albums?

At the moment, I don’t offer albums, but I do provide a wide range of print options, which you can easily order directly from your personal gallery. From high-quality prints to fine art pieces and framed canvases, you'll find a variety of choices, all delivered to your preferred address. My prints are produced by a professional lab, using premium inks and paper to ensure exceptional quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

5. Will there be a second photographer?

I usually shoot alone, but a second photographer is available as an optional extra. The photographers that work with me are chosen for being talented, creative, personable and are themselves professional photographers shooting under their own brand.

6. DO YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDED VIDEOGRAPHER?

Yes, I do. I have worked with videographers whose portfolios I admire and feel comfortable recommending. They work independently, and my recommendations are based on previous professional experience.

7. Can we meet before the session?

I’d love to! While most of my meetings are via webcam, I’d be happy to meet for a coffee or a glass of wine if you're nearby in Pisa or Florence. I believe it’s essential that you choose me as your photographer not only because you love my style, but also because we connect and get along!

8. Are other services available, such as pre-wedding shoots or welcome dinners?

Yes, I provide a range of additional services, including engagement sessions, pizza parties, rehearsal dinners, and other wedding-related events. Tell me about your plans, and I’ll put together a package designed just for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

9. Can you photograph our family during a trip or vacation?

This is one of my favorite things to photograph! Italy with family and kids, honeymoon, engagement, it's all about capturing your unique story. I’d be thrilled to photograph your special moment. Let’s connect to plan your photo shoot, and I’d be happy to suggest some beautiful locations for it.

10. Do you photograph surprise proposals?

Yes, I do! Surprise proposals are incredibly exciting. Every detail is planned in advance so the moment is all about the joy of hearing “yes.”

11. ARE YOU AVAILABLE TO TRAVEL?

For many years I was available to travel and had the chance to photograph stories in different places. At this point in my life, though, I’ve chosen a different pace. With a young daughter at home, I prefer to focus my work here in Tuscany, staying closer to her while continuing to do what I love. It’s a choice that also allows me to deepen my connection with this region and approach each story I photograph here with even more care and familiarity.

12. Why do you photograph wedding and family?

I chose to focus my work on photographing weddings and family moments because these events speak to me. I love the emotions in each celebration and the stories they reveal. I believe that by delivering thoughtful and heartfelt work, the images can touch everyone involved, bringing back beautiful memories and, in a small, quiet way, making people happier and more connected.
