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!!

Logan’s Four Year Portrait

Posted on April 17, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

One of my most photographed kids and best buddy, Logan, is four years old this year! It’s always a treat for me to see Logan and her parents. I would love to just chat with Mom and Dad, but honestly Logan and I are kind of best friends. While Mom and Dad hang back Logan and I walk around, chat, make each other laugh and take pictures. It’s almost like a play date! Recently Logan told her Mom “Only Alissa takes my picture”. Coming for a little kid that is a 5 star review! We started Logan’s portrait at my studio and then walking around the building. Logan’s Dad is an artist who also has a spot in Hope Artiste Village so we even got to take some pics in there. Sorry other parents! You can not have your photo session in Michael’s place amongst the metal, tools and fork lift!

Tyler’s First Birthday Cake Smash

Posted on January 30, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

Tyler is one year old! What a fun and special birthday it is! His Grandmother and Mom were on hand for the photos and you can see that this little guy gets all the love he needs from these ladies. I had so much fun chatting with them that I almost forgot to take photos! They brought the cutest cake smash outfit for him – a little hat, tie and diaper cover with a chevron print (my new fave pattern!). I’m so happy that people are putting out some cute stuff for boys to wear at these! Why should girls have all the fun? Tyler decided to give us a show stopper at the end of the session. He stood up without any help for the first time ever right in my studio!! Unfortunately I didn’t document it the first time because I was not ready. Thankfully he gave us an encore and I got it!! Such a treat that I was able to capture that moment for his family.

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!!
