Sultry Sunset, Tuscany-style
Sunset in Tuscany is a breathtaking event every night, even from your bedroom window or porch just peering out at the landscape and enjoying some wine. Now if you happen to score a private castle-like villa and sculpture garden with a fantastic nude model — well all the better!
Here are more of my favorites from my recent Italy Workshop that showcase Italy’s stunning light & landscape and the beautiful female figure…
Ah beauty! Italy, cypress trees, stone sculptures, a sunset, 9 of my girlfriends, a beautiful female form, and a camera to capture it all!
It’s all so divine, I can almost forget the swarms of mosquito’s.
Still itching and scratching,

ps. check back for more deliciousness on the blog all week and next from Italia!
Smoking Hot Summer in Italy!
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
Passion at Musee Rodin, Paris!
Just got back from an incredible two-week vacation – 3 beautiful carefree days in Venice and 11 glorious day in PARIS filled with art, fashion, food, wine, photographs, and everywhere – l’amour! My awesome friend Natasha met me there for the most girly-girl trip ever! A blissful indulgent holiday that brought me offline and back to everything I love.
One of the standout experiences for me was the Musee Rodin. The emotion in every sculpture, the gorgeous soft colors and light, the sheer beauty and passion filling up this historical space & garden… it was almost too much to bear. Thank goodness I was allowed to use my camera.
Here are some of my favorite moments, colors, and moods from Musee Rodin.
Here’s a shot my friend took of me looking out at the inspiring garden of Musee Rodin. It’s blurry, but I love it anyway!
I’m back in Florence and getting ready to welcome the gals for our week-long Fine Art Nude Photo Workshop & Retreat starting this Sunday! And even though my bum is seated at my desk in this villa in Italy, my mind keeps wandering back to Paris! Bear with me 🙂
lots of love and inspiration!

The Colors of Capri & Sorrento!
One of the wonderful things about traveling across Italy is all the different colors of each region. Tuscany is all sunshiny yellow, terracotta red, and cypress green. Whereas, Capri, Sorrento and the Amalfi coast have a plethora of gorgeous jewel tones to get lost in… from the colorful tiles, boats & buildings, to the yummy blue/green of the sea & sky and bright citrus colors of the lemon groves and orange trees… all of it delicious!
Yes, Hello!… Two beautiful views from high atop Capri. You have to ride a little lift to get to the top.
Carciufi (artichoke) was in high season when I visited. It’s my favorite dish to cook in Italy! ok, it’s the only dish I cook in Italy 🙂
Poodles and men in newsboy caps are abundant in Sorrento – both are great characters!
Limoni are everywhere along the Amalfi Coast! and there are so many delicious treats made with the local harvests: limoncello, lemon chocolate, lemonade… yummmm!
If you get a chance to visit Italy, make sure to stop on by the Amalfi coast and enjoy the local color and some limoncello.
Salute!

Red Hot Mama
Monique, a mother of two, celebrated her birthday with a sultry-themed photo shoot as part of a sexy weekend getaway with her husband in NYC! Our boudoir shoot was like Carnivale in Venice and Burlesque in Paris all rolled into one tantalizing show!
Monique almost convinces you that she’s sweet towards the end here 🙂
Almost 🙂
After the shoot, we celebrated with Hot & Dirty Martini’s and oysters… a perfect finish to a raw and sensual day 🙂
Salute!

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,

Good Kitty Cat
It was just another day on set with a good little kitty cat. Most of the morning was spent feeding.
Awwww how cute. Until…
…this happend…
…and suddenly this little kitty becomes less kitty and more TIGER!…
…that’s okay, a good cub owner can quickly turn the tables and a “cat & mouse” game ensued…
…after a morning of feeding and fun & games, it was time to show our sexy stripes!…
MeeeeeOW! Awww, good kitties. Enormous thanks to Mr. David Yang for setting up this fab & fun shoot.
To check out embarrassing behind the scenes shots of me being silly with a tiger cub (like this one) and shots that didn’t make it to the blog, be a cool cat and LIKE my FACEBOOK Fan Page.
Thanks gorgeous,
x. Christa
