The story

A babymoon between Pienza and the Val d’Orcia

This babymoon photoshoot in Pienza follows an expecting couple from the historic centre to the fields of the Val d’Orcia: the stone lanes of the town, the tall golden grass, olive trees and cypresses, until the evening light.

If you are planning one, our page on the babymoon photoshoot in Tuscany explains how a session works, where we photograph and how to ask for a quote.

The gallery

Pienza

The lanes of Pienza

We started in the historic centre of Pienza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site: stone lanes, the bell tower, the loggias.

The two of them walked hand in hand between the houses, stopping against the old stone walls. Some frames from the lanes we kept in black and white.

The countryside

The fields of the Val d’Orcia

Then we moved into the fields around the town: tall golden grass, white roads, cypresses and the hills of the Val d’Orcia behind them.

The whole landscape of the Val d’Orcia, with its farms and cultivated hills, is itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Lower down, among the olive trees and the tall grass, he led her by the hand as the sun went down. A babymoon is a short trip taken before the baby arrives, and this light is a good reason to spend it in the Val d’Orcia.

Last light

At sunset

The last frames are backlit: the low sun on the grass, their silhouettes against the sky, then an old stone tower lit by the last rays.

Questions

Questions about a babymoon photoshoot in Pienza

Where was this session photographed?

In the historic centre of Pienza and in the fields around the town, in the Val d’Orcia, province of Siena.

Can a babymoon session cover more than one place?

Yes. This one went from the town to the fields and the olive trees. How many places fit depends on how long the session lasts, and we plan it together before you arrive.

What should we wear for a babymoon photoshoot in Pienza?

Light, flowing clothes in soft, neutral colours work well against the stone of the town and the golden grass of the fields. We talk about it together before the session.

Do you photograph maternity sessions in other parts of Tuscany?

Yes: Florence and its hills, Chianti, Val d’Orcia, San Gimignano and the Crete Senesi.

When is the best light for a babymoon photoshoot in Pienza?

Late afternoon, into sunset: the low sun on the fields of the Val d’Orcia, as in this session.
