Blithewold Gardens Family Portrait – RI Portrait Photography

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of second shooting for Snap! Photography at Jessica and Jenson’s wedding at Blithewold some years ago. I have always remembered their wedding mainly because they were such a pleasure to be around all day! Now here we are back to the place that started their journey as a family, but this time they have a new member! Little baby H crashed the party this time. She was quite the explorer while we taking photos. Thankfully she took a couple of breaks here and there to stop for photos. All and all it was a nice time revisiting old memories while making some new ones as well!

Cake Smash Portrait Session with Matthew – RI Baby Photography

Posted on March 4, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

What a fun cake smash session this was! Matthew was a professional. He systematically picked at all the frosting of his cake made by none other than Cake-Tique! Matthew loves balloons so there were plenty for him to crawl around in. He was loving it! Thankfully he paid more attention to the cake than the balloons once we brought it out. Another successfully first birthday portrait!

Logan is has the best time when we take pictures. She scares me, I scream, she laughs. It’s a formula we had this year for her mini and portrait session. I have to say it worked beautifully! In addition to scaring me Logan was also having the best time throwing leaves in the air. Perfect fall portrait accessory! I always look forward to seeing Logan and her family. I probably spend as much time chatting with Mom as I do taking photos. Hanging out with cool families is reason #453 why I love my job. Thanks for choosing me to take your photos, guys!

I love these photos because I love this family! Ada is my kids’ bud. There was a time when all my son said was “Ada hit me” (even though she didn’t). There was also a time when Ada always talking about the time my son, Max, gave her way too aggressive of a hug (which did happen). Mandy is an amazingly talented graphic designer. She does all the design work for my wedding photography business called M.Studios and does amazing letterpress wedding invitations and birth announcments. Check out her web site or etsy shop! I also can’t wait to share the new logo she did for me that has inspired a whole new look for Melissa Lacouture Photography!

Colt State Park Family Portrait – RI Family Photography

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of photographing this little lady a couple of times now. Every time she has come to do photos she has brought her little dolly, Sasha. It makes sense that Sasha was included in all the family photos. At this point she is just that – one of the family. It’s nice when people decide to include personal elements like this in the photos session. So we had two parents, two dogs, one toddler and a doll. Somehow it all worked out and we got photos of everyone! It was that crazy Sasha who wouldn’t sit still for most of the photos. Such a diva.
