Family is everything. When I was 12 years old, my grandfather gave me his old Nikon camera and my love for photography turned from a passion to what I wanted to do when I grew up. My love for food – eating and photographing it – has always been close to my heart…and my stomach!

Italians share the same love for food and family as I do, so when Enzo’s Hideaway at Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida, contacted me for a photoshoot of their traditional, family-style Sunday Suppers, I was in.

The Sunday Supper – a time when families come together to share a meal, a glass of vino, and to engage in conversation (this means using your hands A LOT in Italy) with family and friends. From pastas and prosciutto to braised chicken and succulent salmon, Enzo’s provided an inviting backdrop for me to capture the essence of togetherness, heart, and deliciousness all swirled together like spaghetti on a fork.

Thank you to the staff of Enzo’s Hideaway for making me part of their family, and for “lending a hand” with the overhead tabletop shot.
