I’m back from an amazing and memorable summer in Europe. From Florence to Venice, Paris, and back to Tuscany – the trip was INCREDIBLE! Like any good working vacation, it was full of good friends (old and new), lots of photography, inspiring art, divine food, wine, new experiences, a TON of laughter, and just a full-out f’g GREAT time!
The Italy Workshop was beyond my wildest expectations and one of the best times I’ve ever had with some of the most beautiful talented amazing women I’m happy to call friends. It was a full-on women’s dream retreat, and I can’t wait to do it again next year! Here is the first set of pics that I shot during the workshop…

I’ll be blogging all of the Italy Workshop pics over the next two weeks, ending with a DELICIOUS GIVEAWAY with goodies straight from Italia!
So keep your eyes glued to this space :)
THANK YOU to the amazing women who enjoyed a wonderful week in Tuscany with me – You made it what it was, and always remember… ”It’s ITALY, bitches!”
lots of love,
Christa

















Can’t wait for more pictures! These are already ah-mazing!
Holy S(h)IZZLE BATMAN! How is it you keep upping your game, Meola? These are uber fabulous, I LOVE the euro flavor (from the cig to the bike to the styling), it’s soooo sexy, romantic, and EDGY. Divine, I could look at these all day long. Thanks for sharing, as always. I adore your work….;-)
Robin! thank you, and there is more on the way! missed your presence in Italy – next year for sure! huge hug! xoxo, C

These are AWESOME!!!!! Glad you had such a fabulous time ~ Can’t wait to see more!
I’m SO going to next years Italy Workshop…I’ve already started planning!
Wow! Just LOVE these, Christa! I’ve been working heavily on my new boudoir blog, and someday would love to take an in-person workshop from you. Italy would be a dream… maybe when my kids get a little older. Your online workshop was fantastic! Thanks for sharing these images. Just totally remotivates me. :)
So sorry I missed it!! These look beautiful. I can’t wait to see more. I ended up shooting for a solid two weeks in and around NYC, so I couldn’t have made it, even after the wedding. Next time! Welcome home, bella!
hot hot hot!! so sad i had to miss it, but it sounds (and looks) like you guys had a fabulous time!
Love them. Amazing pics….as always. :)
