Family Portrait in Roger Williams Park – RI Photographer

Posted on September 21, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

How do you repay your child’s teacher for all they do? I honestly can’t begin to figure out how. My son was in Pre-K last year and we were so fortunate to have two of the best people taking care of him while he was there. They snuggled with him at rest time, calmed him down when he got hurt, helped him to be a good friend to his peers and made him love and enjoy going to school. How can I even begin to say thank you for that?! These pictures certainly can’t come close, but it’s the least I can do. Thanks for taking care of my baby, Miss Tracy!

Cake Smash Portrait Session – RI Cake Smash Photography

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

It seemed like this cake smash was never going to happen but thankfully we were able to do it! Mom warned me that Mackenzie was a fast one! She was right! Thankfully we were able to distract her long to get some great photos! These guys picked some of great colors for their outfits and the cake smash. I love coral and teal together! Great colors, super cute clothes, headpieces and an adorable little baby! What more could a photographer ask for?

Two Year Portrait at the Studio – RI Baby Photography

Posted on August 31, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

This little guy is so cute! I mean really just so so cute! I did his cake smash session last year when he turned a year old. He stood up for the first time right in front of my camera! Now here he is a year later, running all over the place, showing me his train collection. It never ceases to amaze me how much can change in just one year. Another thing that never changes is how truly honored that people let me capture the growth of their little ones year after year.

Newport Beach Portrait – RI Portrait Photography

Posted on August 23, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

You really can’t beat the beach for photos. The secret is to do it at the right time of day when the sun is all yellow and “glowy”! Ok the sun is always yellow and “glowy” but if you want nice portraits you have to get the timing right. We had it down for this portrait in Newport! Korey is the kind of little girl you envision when one imagines a portrait on the beach. Mom and Dad picked out the perfect dress and even brought a pretty shell for a prop. Let’s not forget to mention the hair! A big shout out to Mom for maintaining that long beautiful hair! I have a daughter and know what it’s like to brush a little girl’s hair… It’s not fun. Not only was Korey’s hair perfect but she also had the cutest starfish barrette in the back. My favorite part of the session was at the end when Korey (and myself) got right in the ocean to take some of the best photos of the day!

Second Year Portrait with Brooklyn – RI Child Photography

Posted on August 13, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I met Brooklyn last year at War Memorial Park, a place that has now become one of my favorite spots for photos! This year I had the pleasure of visiting Brook at her house! Lucky girl lives right next door to a horse barn! She is two and a half and already taking horse riding lessons. Since she loves her horsey neighbors mom and dad thought it would be nice to incorporate them into the session! Brooklyn has changed so much in the past year but one thing has stayed the same… her insane cuteness! She is a doll!! So happy that these guys found me and continue to use me to document the family!
