Authentic and Heartfelt Portraits

Ciao, I'm Isabella, a western MA storytelling photographer who was born and raised in Italy.

A truly authentic portrait has the power to preserve a moment in time. I have always been amazed at how even a simple image can capture a person’s spirit and character, and tell their story. I’ve devoted my work to creating memories, both of special occasions and as mementos of everyday life. Photography fuels my creativity and helps me stay grounded.

“Isabella is my friend and ally in depicting aging with poetry and power. What a joy it is creating with you! Your eye, your ease, your professionalism, your heart of caring, and soul of fun! Brilliant fun! Total epic trust! You see me through your process of conversation and lens! Do not wait for a "special occasion" to be seen and to capture yourself; Life is too short. Value yourself. And turn yourself over to this experience that is far more than photography - a delicious cocktail that feels like therapy and a fun time out.” - Mary Beth

Everyone has a real life story to tell

My work reflects my love for engaging and connecting with people, and my subjects range across all demographics. My aim is to create images that leave individuals feeling truly seen and empowered, and that reveal the connections between partners, friends, and family members. In addition to portrait sessions, I love working on personal projects and am also available for editorial and commercial work. No matter the purpose of a shoot, I approach every assignment as a chance to tell a meaningful story.

“I asked Isabella to participate in our project ‘Portraits of Pathlight’ after seeing one of her photos from an event of ours. I could tell from the image that she deeply understood our person-focused mission. In the photo there was a lot of texture and atmosphere but the spotlight and focus was powerfully on the person we serve. Isabella has an eye for capturing people living their full life and does it so beautifully.” - Gina-Louise

“What can I say… Isabella took a dubious photo subject, not wanting to face another stark reminder of aging, and transformed me into a model wannabe. What fun! She unleashed my inner dancer and it was click, click, click to my every move. Granted - in her commitment to capture those moments of revealing essence, traces of age demanded notice. But Isabella’s vision goes deeper than that. She delivered renditions of how I like to see myself and gave me images of the older me I can embrace. That is her gift! Thank you Isabella! I now have enough material for profile photos to last a long time or until I find myself in need of your magic lens!” - Madelyn

“We asked Isabella to take photos of us for our 25th anniversary. Working with Isabella was a great experience from beginning to end. She met with us first to discuss what we wanted. During the photo shoot itself she made great suggestions for poses, background, and lighting. Isabella was a total professional and made us feel very comfortable. We got the pictures back about a week later and they were wonderful! I would highly recommend Isabella to anyone looking for a photographer for families, anniversaries, high school or college graduates, or just anyone who would like a great picture of themselves.” - Ethan and Amy
