You’ll wander Rome’s iconic streets with a local photographer who makes posing feel easy — from the Spanish Steps to the Pantheon and those colorful alleyways in between. Expect candid moments captured naturally, gentle guidance (no stiff smiles), and downloadable high-res photos to relive it all back home.
I’ll admit, I was nervous about the whole “posing in public” thing. The Spanish Steps were already buzzing when we met Yulia — she had this easygoing energy, like she’d seen every awkward tourist move before (and probably had). She laughed when my partner tried to say “buongiorno” with a Texas accent, which broke the ice right away. The morning air smelled faintly of espresso and something sweet from a bakery nearby. I kept worrying I’d blink or pull a weird face but Yulia just shrugged and said, “That’s what makes it real.” Honestly, that helped.
We wandered down those narrow Roman streets — the kind where sunlight bounces off old stone and scooters zip past so close you can feel the breeze. At one point, Yulia stopped us in front of this faded yellow wall near Tempio di Adriano. She explained how Romans love these imperfect textures, said it’s part of the city’s charm. I hadn’t noticed until then how much color there is here, not just in buildings but in people’s gestures and voices echoing off cobblestones. The main keyword here is private photo shoot Rome, but honestly it didn’t feel staged at all — more like someone catching us mid-laugh or lost in thought.
The last stop was the Pantheon. It was busier than I expected but somehow Yulia found angles that made it look almost quiet. She gave gentle pointers (“Look at each other, not me!”) but mostly let us be ourselves. We skipped Trevi Fountain since it was packed — apparently sunrise is the only time for that spot if you want space to breathe (noted for next time). Afterwards, we sat on a low wall sharing a cornetto while she showed us a few shots on her camera screen. I still think about that one where we’re both squinting into the sun — not perfect, but totally us.
