Big Sister and New Baby Brother Newborn Portrait – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on May 30, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of making a house call to do some photos of this new baby boy, Victor, and his sister, Luciana. Victor is only a couple of weeks old and Luciana is almost 2. Since their birthdays are so close we were able to take newborn shots and a 2 year portrait for sis in the same session. You would think a shoot with one newborn and one toddler would be crazy, but it was pretty laid back. When you are dealing with so much cuteness it just makes things easier.

Here is Victor and all of his cute little expressions…

Big sis got to go outside for her pictures. She is adorable!!

Back inside Victor is doing a lot of the same…

It was a misty day and I happened to have a pretty awesome rainbow umbrella. It is sort of huge, but Luci was still excited to play with it.

I just love these pictures!

She was so gentle with the baby.

Stella’s Maternity and Family Portrait at Harkness State Park, CT

Posted on May 26, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

I couldn’t have been happier when Stella contacted me about doing a maternity/family portrait for her. I shot Stella and Shane’s wedding at the Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park in CT. It is such a beautiful spot and one of my favorite wedding venues. We decided that it would be the perfect spot for these new updated family pictures. Their daughter, Madison, is going to be 2 years old very soon. She is just the sweetest thing! I’m sure her parents had something to do with that. They are the nicest people you could ever meet.

Three years ago I took a bridal portrait of Stella in this exact same spot. Now we are onto the next phase in life. So fun!

They haven’t found out the sex of the baby yet, but we are certain that someone is going to be a big sister!

Alex’s 2 Year Portrait Shoot at Roger Williams Park – RI Children Photography

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

There aren’t many kids that I’ve taken more pictures of than Alex! He is one of my best customers and with that title comes rewards, sort of like frequent flyer miles. Alex’s second birthday fell in the middle of a mini shoot session and the birth of new baby brother or sister next month. That’s a lot of pictures in a couple of months. So, as a courtesy to one of my best and favorite customers we did a quick portrait at the park for Alex’s second year photos. You will be seeing this little guy again in the next month or so when I do a newborn shoot for his new sibling. Is it a boy or girl? It’s going to be a surprise which I love! Can’t wait see everyone again and to meet the new edition! Thank you trusting me to photograph your growing family time and time again!

Meredith and Mike’s Maternity Shoot in Newport, RI – RI Maternity Photography

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

I first met Meredith and Mike when they were shopping around for wedding photographers. When the left the office I thought “I must do that wedding!” Thankfully they felt the same way! I had the pleasure of taking their engagement and wedding photos. Fast forward… well a couple of months (these guys were quick!) and here we are doing a maternity shoot! I was so happy when Meredith told me that she was pregnant because A) babies are awesome and B) I knew I’d get to see one of my favorite couples again! I can’t wait to meet this baby! One thing is for sure it will be an honorary 80’s kid.
