Sander at the Studio – RI Baby Photographer

Posted on January 20, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

When Sander’s parents contacted me they said he was a mover. Honestly everyone says that, but you never know how much moving will take place. Sander did a lot of it. Thankfully he was happy to explore my building. Yes, I practically was rolling around on the floor to get some pictures of him, but I do like a challenge…

I’d like to give Mom and Dad a little shout out here! They were always in the right place at the right time. They might have been professional family portrait models and didn’t tell me.

It’s always a special treat to get some time outside in January!

Vanessa’s First Year Portrait with Big Sis Ava

Posted on January 18, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

Some girls need a little more glitz than others. Ava and Vanessa certainly fall into this category! These girls were born with a glittery, blinged out spoon in their mouth. When I purchased this backdrop these girls were actually the first people that I thought of. Mom certainly approved and the photo session was booked! Someone had a first birthday coming up so the timing was perfect. As always Lauren from Cake-tique did an amazing job with our cupcake for the smash. Ava was a little jealous that her sister got to eat/destroy all that delicousness. Don’t worry. She did get a taste! (and ps she actually doesn’t even like cake!)

A Look Back at the Babies…

Over the past year I’ve had the pleasure of taking pictures of lots of little babies. Some are a new addition to a family and some aren’t that little anymore. They change so much in just one year…

Lasher’s Newborn Portrait Shoot – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on September 17, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

A couple of weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of doing a maternity session for Lasher’s mom and dad. Now I get to meet the little man that was cooking in that big belly! Such a handsome little guy! I am so happy that I had the chance to meet this family. I also would like to publicly apologize for telling Lasher’s parents horror stories of how my son woke up three times a night until he was 15 months old. What am I doing? Guys, I will guarantee that Lasher is an angel. He was too well behaved at the portrait shoot to be anything but!

Phillip and William’s Brothers Portrait Session at Roger Williams Park – RI Baby Photography

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

One child is usually easy breezy, but two little ones can be a daunting task. Thankfully Phillip and William were happy to sit for me to get their picture taken. Phillip was actually pretty amused by the silly things I do to keep my subjects interested and sitting still. William was more perplexed as to why I was acting a fool! Either way the out come is what I wanted – attentive little boys. Not always an easy task.
