Wisteria and Sunshine

Have you seen the movie Enchanted April? It’s one of my favorite English Italian movies – I have a whole list! This one’s a chick flick about a group of British women who escape their dreary lives and the London rain for a season of paradise at a villa in Italy that promises “lots of wisteria and sunshine.”

Now, if you’ve been to a beautiful Italian villa during Spring, then you know that promise is true. Here are a few shots around the streets of my own little corner of paradise where I stay when I’m in Florence. Enjoy the wisteria and sunshine!

I’m getting so excited for my summer trip to Italy, starting on Monday – yay! and I am going to be shooting a plethora of nudes in and around the villa, so stay tuned for all that deliciousness on the blog soon!

Quick Announcement:
There are ONLY 2 SEATS LEFT for my NUDE PHOTO WORKSHOP & RETREAT in Italy! Sept 4th – 9th at my villa in Firenze! Read all the JUICY DETAILS and REGISTER NOW!

Sorry fella’s, this Retreat is for WOMEN ONLY :)

lots of love & nudity,

x. Christa

    Whenever I think of Italy I think of color–hazy color, like the second photo. I have a photo hanging in my bedroom of an Italian hillside bathed in that hazy afternoon light. It’s on my dream travel list to spend two months there, because anything less just wouldn’t be worth it. You know, my own “Eat” episode from Eat, Pray, Love. I’d hope to take beautiful photos like these.

    There’s nothing quite so lovely as a wonderful old building with lazy purple blooms spilling over a window. Love. xx
