I’ve had the privilege of documenting this family’s story for almost 15 years! When I think about the happiness that being a photographer brings, this family always comes to mind. Every other year or so, we meet in the same spot in Providence. It’s the very location where I did Mom and Dad’s engagement session years ago, and now, it’s the backdrop for their growing family.

This spot isn’t just a location; it’s a character in the story. It’s where the love began! There is something about returning to the same place and recreating so many of the same poses – even some from the engagement session. Over the years, I’ve watched this family grow from two people in love to group filled with movie quotes and lots of laughs.

I feel so honored to have been part of this family’s life for all these years! It’s a reminder of why I do what I do. Thank you to this incredible family for trusting me year after year and for letting me be part of your story. Can’t wait to see you all in September so you can add more photos to the “Melissa wall”!
