As a family photographer I believe that pictures are so important.  And I do follow my own advice when I comes to photo sessions – we hire a photographer at least once a year to do our family photo session. But I also think that it is important to get images of Moms and Dads (without kids) so this year – Victor and I had ‘us only’ photo session.  First time we did it was when we were in Edinburg, Scotland; this year our location was even more photogenic – the Eternal City – Rome!  We’ve been to Rome once before during our Italian honeymoon back in 2003.  But unfortunately all I remember about Rome from that trip was how hot it was – we were there in July during one of the worst heat waves they’d seen.

This time around the weather was more perfect and I have to say that I was completely blown away by how beautiful this city is.  For the longest time Paris was my favorite ‘go-to’ European City but Rome pushed Paris out of my ‘#1’ european city spot (New York still has my heart) – the whole city is like an open air museum!   We met with our photographer by Roman forum and she took us to places that we did not know were there!  After the photoshoot Victor, who does not mind being photographed but let’s be honest – this is not his idea of a good time – told me that the session was ‘so fun because we got to discover lots of cool places’!   And here are some images that were captured during our meandering through Rome.

And stay tuned – pictures taken by ME will be posted to this blog soon … well, maybe not soon but eventually:)
