The II Grande Disco… does anyone actually know what it is? No. However, it does brighten up Independence Square. If ever in Italy, swing by Milan to see its long-lost brother.

It seems like every time I have a photoshoot with Ellie something in her face has changed, every time she’s less and less of a baby and it’s so bittersweet. I never want her to grow up, but I also can’t wait to see that beautiful heart and mind develop into the great person she will be.
