The Campilii family — Italo, Ale, and their sons Matteo and Lorenzo — were photographed for an outdoor family session at Robbins Preserve (Robbins Park) in Davie, Florida, by Acromatico, a family-run South Florida and New York City photography studio. The shoot was unplanned, picked just two days ahead on a random Monday afternoon.
This Robbins Preserve session is personal: Italo and Ale are the photographer's own brother and sister-in-law, and Matteo and Lorenzo are described as the photographer's nephews. Both Italo and Ale are themselves photographers, which makes this a rare gallery of "my two favorite photographers, couple, little family, all in one." The session came together with almost no planning — a random Monday afternoon chosen two days before, with Ale picking the outfits and the location barely settled in advance.
The photographer describes Ale as barefoot, free-spirited and natural, and Italo as nearly her opposite — with Matteo and Lorenzo landing somewhere in between. Photographed during the COVID era, the day became a reminder to slow down and hold onto simple moments together, captured as a lasting gift to family.
“If there's one thing I've definitely learned during covid is take these moments in. Be simple. Stay simple. Enjoy the simple things.”
Good to know
Robbins Preserve (also known locally as Robbins Park) is a public park and natural preserve in the Town of Davie, in Broward County, South Florida. Set inland west of Fort Lauderdale, it offers open green space, native habitat and walking paths, which make it a relaxed, low-key setting for outdoor family portraits rather than a formal event venue.
Its mix of natural areas and shaded greenery gives families room to move and play, which suits unhurried lifestyle sessions like this one. Davie sits a short drive from Fort Lauderdale and the broader Miami metro, so the preserve is convenient for families across South Florida looking for a green, outdoor backdrop close to home.
