The wonderful Carla Coulson needs no introduction from me. Anyone who follows her inspirational blog Carla Loves Photography, has bought her books or attended her amazing workshops will know what I mean. I just love Carla! I have admired Carla's talent and story since 2008 when I stumbled across Italian Joy in the bookstore. Nostalgia per Italia had truly kicked in and I was hooked. My passion for photography had been reignited. I was lucky enough to participate in Carla's Get Published workshop in December 2012. It was an amazing day and one that I will never forget. Carla was so generous parting with her knowledge and a very humble teacher also. Her Caravan Travel workshop is now on my wish list!

This year in January, my children and I had the pleasure and privilege of being photographed by Carla. It was a surprise birthday gift for my husband. We had so much fun and another dream moment with Carla. The photo shoot with Carla remains the best day of my 8 year old's life, he even wrote a report for school about it. Here are some of Carla's amazing photos that we will cherish forever.

Grazie di cuore Carla!
