It may not feel like it but the warm weather is around the corner! I can’t wait to get back to the beach for fun and for photos! I absolutely love doing family portraits in the Ocean State. We have so many beautiful spots in this little state. Here is a portrait session I did in Narragansett last summer. One of my faves from last year!
It was a rainy day but with limited availability and a baby on the way we had to act fast or no maternity session! Thankfully we chose a spot in Providence with lots of places to tuck away from the rain. Umbrellas always make a cute prop for any portrait anyway! We had to do it because babies wait for no one! I was especially excited to meet this family since they put their trust in my to document the birth of this little guy! What a truly amazing experience, but we will save that for next time…
There are lots of photographers posting summer sessions during this cold spell with captions like “Can’t wait until it’s warm again!” I have been thinking “i’m not going to that”… But here I am!! I’m doing it! Oh well! I sat down to blog on this cold Saturday and I couldn’t help but to pick this session to share. I love these photos from Duxbury Beach in MA. I also love the people in them! I first met them at big brother’s first birthday photos. Here we are today with a little sister! I’ve done a lot of sessions for this wonderful family. I’m already looking forward to the next one!… Because Mom is cool AF! Am I right, Liz!? 😉
I always like to talk about how long I’ve been taking photos of certain families. I might sound like a broken record some times but it really means so much. I have a special place in my heart for my repeat clients. They trust me, believe in my abilities and that means so much. I have been doing photos of big sis since her first birthday. She always likes to bring a prop to her yearly photos. It started with dolls and her puppies but more recently it’s her little brother and now horses! Looks like we have upgraded! I can’t wait to see what they bring next year!
I have been taking photos of these little guys and his family for about five years now so it was truly a treat to meet the rest of the clan! These little boys have grown up in front of my lens! There are a couple of things I love… First is extended family portraits. It is so nice when people take the time to do photos like this. Family is a wonderful thing that deserves a little time to shine no matter what age we all are. The second thing I love is photos at the beach! Some people say “everyone does the beach” but there is a reason for that… It’s gorgeous! Nothing compares to beautiful lighting and the ocean.
