Lifestyle Photography and cobblestone streets!
What a beautiful family photo session this was taking place at the Colosseum in Italy! Perfectly coordinated in white with a white scooter used as prop waiting for us at the end of session! A Family Photography session is one of the great things to do when visiting Rome Italy. But before reaching the Colosseum. We stopped over on the Borgia staircase or Scalinata dei Borgia which we found along the way. To take some nice portraits with the Borgia building as backdrop. With nice green ivy leaves falling from the top.
Then we proceeded with our walk to find the Colosseum pop up just around a corner. Where we began by taking a mixture of posed portraits and more spontaneous shots. First on a hill overlooking the majestic monument from above. And later from the terrace view. Then we continued on to a cobblestone alleyway street which has a truly unique background of the Roman Coliseum. Where we positioned our scooter to use as prop for final group portraits!
From the Borgia Staircase to the Colosseum
Before reaching the Colosseum, we paused at the elegant Borgia staircase, using the ancient building as a dramatic backdrop. Ivy cascaded from the walls, adding texture and depth to the portraits. Once at the Colosseum, the team captured a mix of elevated views and terrace angles, highlighting the monument’s grandeur. The session balanced structured poses with more spontaneous shots, making the staircase, historic building, and Colosseum the central elements throughout.
Strolling Through Charming Streets for Candid Moments
After visiting the Colosseum, the group continued along charming cobblestone streets, capturing more relaxed, spontaneous moments. Soft sunlight filtered through narrow alleyways, highlighting playful interactions and genuine smiles. Colorful buildings and hidden corners created a variety of backdrops, from classic architectural details to quiet, intimate spots. By the end of the Photography Session in the Heart of the City, the series of portraits balanced iconic landmarks with personal, everyday moments, resulting in a collection that feels both timeless and lively.
