Calvin’s First Birthday Cake Smash Portrait – RI Baby Photography

Posted on October 3, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I’m so happy that family saw my photos up at Bellani Maternity because they are really just a pleasure to work with. I’ve had the honor of taking Calvin’s photos since he was… well in Mommy’s belly! The first picture I took of his face was of an ultrasound photo. Now here he is making a mess of his first birthday cake! He is turning out to be quite the handsome devil. Who is lucky enough to blue eyes like that?! Can’t wait for the opportunity to capture the next phase in Calvin’s life and see the family again!

Little Sis Cake Smash with Big Brother – RI Family Photography

Posted on September 11, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I have done big Bro’s photos plenty of times, but now he has a little siter and she is taking over! Mom came prepared with tons of great outfits and accessories. We took tons of photos until finally we had to bribe everyone with cake to squeeze in a couple of more. When the cake came out this little lady did the cutest thing ever. She started doing the baby sign for “Please”. So adorable!! I will say one thing before I wrap this up… Jaime, you make some beautiful kids!!

Cake Smash at Colt State Park in Bristol, RI

Posted on August 28, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of meeting this family almost a year ago when little Julia could hardly sit up. Thankfully she was able to sit for photos with the help of big brother and sister. Now here we are celebrating her first birthday with a cake smash portrait session! Time sure does fly. Instead of helping her sit up her big brother and sister were there help her balance on the uneven ground at the park. Of course they also got in some photos as well. Julia gave us some many smiles that it definitely made my job easy. She is a happy, happy baby… I mean toddler!!

Family Portrait in Salem, MA – MA Baby Photography

Posted on August 17, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

For this family portrait I drove all the way up to Salem. I hadn’t been to Salem since I was a kid. There were so many historic houses, a beautiful waterfront, and lots of Halloween stores. The Halloween thing really confused me at first then I remembered… It’s Salem, MA! In my defense we did meet early in the morning. I sometimes need help waking up. Thankfully Everett and his parents were up and looking awesome! We were able to get in some smiles and even a couple of different locations before nap time. Everett was just adorable. His smile is a little too much cuteness for me to handle. He did a great job posing when he was all done pointing at everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better subject.

Caleb’s First Birthday Cake Smash Portrait Session

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

Still can’t believe this little dude is a year old now!! It seems like yesterday I was just shooting Mom and Dad’s wedding! Now here is this little guy. Before we know it he’ll be quoting Star Wars movies with Dad! Then when I do his senior portraits he will be making fun of Dad for quoting Star Wars. He may also complain that he has to have “that tired old photographer” take his senior pictures. Enough of that! Let’s enjoy the agreeable, smiley little baby we have here! Mom had some awesome outfits, birthday hats, and a wagon to boot. It made for a fun and easy portrait session with one of my favorite families!
