TRAVEL IS BELLISSIMO
Luxury Photo Adventure Experiences for Women
“There are moments in life that change you quietly… and then there are places that do.
For me, that place was Italy.”
Where This All Began
Years ago, I stepped into Italy for the first time—and something shifted.
It wasn’t just the beauty of the coastline or the architecture or the wine.
It was the way life felt there.
Slower.
Richer.
More present.
More felt.
I remember thinking:
Why don’t we live like this more often?
Why do we wait for someday to feel this alive?
And somewhere in that moment, a vision formed:
What if I could bring women here…
not just to travel,
but to experience themselves differently?
Not as the planner.
Not as the caretaker.
Not as the one holding everything together.
But as the woman in the story.
From Dream to Reality
What started as a quiet idea became something far greater than I ever imagined.
The first Italy is Bellissimo Photo Adventure wasn’t just a trip.
It was a collection of moments that felt almost unreal.
Women from different walks of life came together, trusted me, and stepped into an experience designed to be both expansive and grounding.
And what unfolded was… magic.
The Experience (What It Actually Feels Like)
Yes, we travel to extraordinary places.
But what makes this different is how it feels.
You’re not planning.
You’re not coordinating.
You’re not making decisions for everyone else.
You are simply:
arriving
experiencing
being
And along the way, we create.
What Our Italy Experience Included
Spa experiences designed for rest and restoration
Private boat tour around the island of Capri
Cooking classes along the Amalfi Coast
Visits to local wineries and olive oil tastings
Exploring Sorrento, Florence, and surrounding countryside
Private guided tours through Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast
Intimate group dinners, including a private six-course experience
Lifestyle photography sessions in flowing flying dresses along the coast
A sultry, fine art boudoir experience in a red room in Florence
And countless in-between moments that can’t be planned—but are never forgotten.
The Photography (More Than Just Images)
Every experience includes curated photography moments that are designed to feel like scenes from a film.
Not posed.
Not forced.
But guided in a way that allows you to feel natural, confident, and completely yourself.
These include:
Flying dress sessions in breathtaking landscapes
Fine art portrait sessions
Intimate glamour / boudoir experiences (optional and guided)
The result is not just beautiful images.
It’s a visual memory of who you were in that moment.
Why Women Choose This Experience
The women who join these trips are not looking for a typical vacation.
They are:
in a season of reinvention
celebrating a milestone
ready to invest in themselves
craving something meaningful, not just memorable
They want:
depth
connection
beauty
presence
And they want to feel it fully.
Beyond Italy — The World is Opening
Italy will always hold a special place in my heart.
But this vision was never meant to stay in one place.
We have already expanded into:
Napa Valley — a beautiful blend of wine, connection, and elevated experiences
And we are beginning to explore future destinations such as:
Morocco
Portugal
France
Each location is chosen with intention.
Not just for how it looks—but for how it feels.
The Women Behind the Experience
This vision would not come to life without the incredible women who help hold it.
Ashley, our Fine Art Director, has been an integral part of bringing these experiences to life—from styling to capturing content, to quite literally helping flying dresses move in the middle of the sea.
This is not a one-woman show.
It’s a curated, collaborative experience designed with care.
This Isn’t Just Travel
This is not about checking destinations off a list.
It’s about stepping into a version of yourself that often gets put on hold.
The version that:
says yes
slows down
feels deeply
allows herself to be seen
An Invitation
If something in you feels pulled toward this…
if you find yourself imagining what it would be like to be part of something like this…
That feeling matters.
Travel is Bellissimo experiences are intentionally curated and released in limited invitations.
If you’d like to be among the first to know, I invite you to reach out and begin the conversation.
Because sometimes the most important journeys are the ones you say yes to before you feel fully ready.

Sip, savor, and experience Napa like never before
Sip, Savor & Sparkle in Napa
March 18–22, 2027 | A Luxury Photo Adventure for Women
Because Some Memories Are Better Made with a Glass of Wine in Hand.
Imagine five days surrounded by rolling vineyards, extraordinary wines, beautiful scenery, and a group of women who appreciate the finer things in life.
Not just the wine.
But the laughter. The connection. The freedom to step away from everyday responsibilities and simply enjoy being in the moment.
Welcome to Sip, Savor & Sparkle in Napa, an intentionally curated wine-country escape hosted by Chrissy of Boarding House Bistro and Jay of Bellissimo Photography Studio.
We've taken care of the details so you can do what you came to do.
Sip. Savor. Sparkle. Repeat.
The Experience
This isn't your typical girls' wine weekend.
We've brought together some of Napa Valley's most memorable experiences, blending exceptional wine, culinary indulgence, a little adventure, and our signature Bellissimo photography.
Picture yourself sipping world-class wines during private vineyard tastings, discovering the history behind legendary Napa wineries, and enjoying an unforgettable journey aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train.
We'll cruise through downtown Napa on a pedal-powered bar, indulge in bubbles, caviar, and chocolate, and even wax-dip our own wine bottles at Quilt Winery.
And because no Bellissimo adventure would be complete without a little magic in front of the camera, we'll create beautiful memories during our signature Flying Dress photoshoot among the vineyards.
Because sometimes you deserve to be part of the beautiful scenery, too.
A Little Luxury. A Lot of Connection.
There's something special about women coming together in a beautiful place.
The conversations over a glass of wine.
The laughter that happens when nobody is watching the clock.
The friendships that begin as strangers and somehow feel like they've been there forever.
That's what Travel is Bellissimo is really about.
Yes, we'll visit extraordinary wineries, savor incredible food, and stay in beautiful accommodations.
But what you'll remember most might be the moments in between.
