Four Year Old Portrait Session – RI Portrait Photography

Posted on October 21, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

Ryan’s parents have brought him in for many mini sessions but this is the first time I was able to do a real deal portrait session of him. I was excited! Mini sessions can be a blur. I see a lot of kids and not for too much time, but I always remembered Ryan. He is just adorable! I love his long hair and his parents always have him in great clothes. It’s also always stuck in my head that it can take a minute for Ryan to warm up to the camera. That was not the case now that he is four years old! Ryan was chatting with me non stop and just being so darn cute! I got great, great pics of this little guy!

Twins Cake Smash and First Year Portrait – RI Cake Smash Photographer

Posted on October 17, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

This is my first cake smash session with twins! We had two separate cakes for each birthday baby. After doing some family photos we dove right in to those cakes made as always by Lauren at Cake-tique. Ladies usually go first, but we decided to have little man try the cake smash experience before his sister. Looking back maybe we might have switched it. We thought he was going to make a huge mess, but Brother did not like the cake very much. His sister on the other hand showed him how it was done. She posed. She smiled. She ate cake. Even though he maybe doesn’t have a sweet tooth I still got some great shots of her brother in his little blue tie and diaper cover. I think Mom and Dad should make sure to show every future girlfriend these photos and tell them all about the cake smash torture!!

Family Portrait Session at Roger Williams Park

Posted on September 10, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

I’ve said it many, many times here on my blog and really I can’t say it enough. It’s such an honor to be able to capture families as they grow and change. I’ve taken a lot of pics of this family when there was only four of them. Now they have a fifth member that’s been added to the mix. He has a lot to live up to because his brothers really have this photo thing down! I don’t know how they do it, but these guys just can’t stop being cute for the camera. I’ve taken some of my cutest photos of these guys and now there is a third! It must be in the genes because the youngest was hamming it up for the camera. Triple cuteness overload.

Newborn Session at the Family Home – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on August 27, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

I’ve been doing so many newborn sessions lately that I have to wonder what was going on nine months ago! I had the pleasure of meeting this family at their new home. They had moved in just a month before they added this new little guy to the family. That’s a lot of change in a short time but this family definitely has it together. I was shocked that they had just moved in when I saw the house. They are lucky to have Grandma who was there helping out with the two kids. It does take a village!

Newborn Session plus Big Sisters at the Studio – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on August 13, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing these two little ladies for a couple of years now. Now when I see this family they will have an extra member in the crew! Welcome their little brother to the world! This guy is going to get a lot of attention from these girls. During the session there was a lot of discussion on who was holding him. He is definitely going to be loved! Maybe too much if that’s possible! Mom and Dad dressed him in some formal attire before it was time to get those naked little baby shots. I love a baby in a suit and tie!!
