Family Portrait at Colt State Park – RI Family Photography

Posted on October 26, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I’ve been taking pictures for this family for quite a few years, but this time there was something different… A new family member! Ever since I met this now Big Sister she has had a baby doll at every session. Also at every session we would talk about how badly she wanted a baby sister. So instead of a baby doll she got to bring a real baby – a baby brother! It’s not a sister, but I didn’t hear any complaints. If this little guy is as spunky as his sister Mom and Dad have their hands full. He is certainly just as adorable! I’m always so happy to be able to document families as they grow and this one is no exception! Congrats! You guys make some cute kids!!!

Newborn Session with Big Brother in RI – RI Family Photography

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I love doing newborn sessions at my clients’ houses. The setting for the photos is the place you brought your baby when it was time to come home from the hospital. Nothing could be better! This little guy is the son of a firefighter. Dad had all his gear out so we could incorporate it into the session and it worked perfectly for the photos! Too bad the newborn stage goes by so fast because this baby could have had a successful career in newborn modeling! He was more than happy to sleep in Daddy’s helmet, on his jacket, and where ever else we put him! Not only were Mom and Dad on hand for the session, but we also had a new proud big brother who got to miss a little bit of school for the photos. Bonus for him!

Sisters Portrait at the Studio – RI Children Portrait Photography

Posted on October 13, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

These little ladies came in for their first mini shoot last year. Now they are ready for the big time – A full blown portrait session! These girls are full of energy. So much energy that I’m sure Mom and Dad were wondering if I got any good photos of them! Thankfully my camera is faster than most children so it doesn’t miss that ten second moment where everyone was sitting nicely. I love the dresses Mom picked out for these girls! So feminine and cute! Can’t wait to see you guys again!

Family Portrait at Roger Williams Park – RI Family Photography

Posted on October 8, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I’ve known this family for a very long time! And I don’t mean long time ago like I did the youngest’s cake smash (which I did). I’m talking way back! Elementary school back! Thanks to facebook I’ve been able to reconnect with a lot of old friends including these guys. As a matter of fact Lauren is the owner of Cake-tique who does all my pretty cake smash cakes! Obviously the family has grown since I met them at Providence St School. Mom has been wanting a family portrait of everyone for a while now. Her thoughtful daughters got a gift certificate with moi and we finally got to do it! I may be a little biased, but I believe photos make the best gifts!

Family Portrait Session in Newport, RI – RI Family Photography

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

This session was a year in the making. Last year we tried and tried to get to the beach, but with parents as busy as I am and bad weather we couldn’t make it happen! Finally we all had a free day AND it didn’t rain!! Yay! I’ve done cake smashes for two of these little girls and now look at them! I can not believe how big they have gotten!! This family has been letting me take photos of them since I started this little venture. They have sent so many referrals my way. Those are two things that mean the world to me and I can not thank them enough!
