In Aprilia, Francesca is a family photographer who tells intimate stories with delicacy and reportage style. Relaxed sessions for families, kids and newborns, with handcrafted albums.
I’m Francesca Cervasi, the photographer behind the project Foto e delicatezza, and as a family photographer I tell the story of everyday life happening at home and in small, meaningful moments. After more than twenty years of experimentation — from film and the darkroom to Polaroids and large-format cameras — I chose to dedicate my work to families: it’s my most authentic gaze and my true passion. My approach is simple: relationship comes first. I enter your story with care, observe, listen and build a climate of trust so images can emerge spontaneously. I favour a reportage-lifestyle style, far from rigid poses, to capture gestures, glances and memories that endure. This attention to storytelling is combined with technical skills honed over years of study — composition, natural light and careful printing — to deliver photographs full of meaning. I primarily work with families, children and newborns in Aprilia and the surrounding area: studio or at-home sessions, short daily reportages or sunset outdoor shoots. For the smallest members I always carry an eye for detail: images designed to become family keepsakes, so that one day children can rediscover their own story. If you wish, I transform the story into a handcrafted album and work with traditional printing techniques: brushes, cotton papers and small darkroom rituals to create a unique object. I also offer maternity and newborn sessions as complementary work to my family photography, always with the same delicacy and focus on everyday life. For first birthdays I create smash cake sessions and photographs that celebrate intimate family gatherings, always oriented to storytelling rather than theatrical effects. Why choose me? Because I bring to photography my entire analog and digital experience, a passion for narrative and a respectful, attentive attitude toward every family. If you’re looking for a photographer who knows how to listen, enter your habits gently and return sincere, lasting images, let’s talk: in Aprilia we’ll build together the memories you’ll be proud of.
