Tristan and Addison’s Portrait Shoot in Pawtucket – RI Family Photography

Sometimes after I do a portrait I get a little jealous.  I see these great pictures of someone else’s family and I wish it was my family in them!  You might also get a little jealous if you continue to look at this blog post.  My studio is in an old mill building which means the outside is just as cool as the inside.  When I saw Tristan’s sweater I knew Mom and Dad would be down for something a little cooler so we ventured out.  Not cooler in temperature because it was like 60 degrees out.  I mean cooler in attitude.  We really lucked out with the weather, wardrobe choice and a really fun backdrop.  Everything came together perfectly.

I’m crazy for this picture…

And this one…

When Mom first emailed me she told me that her husband was in Afghanistan!  We couldn’t set a date until she knew exactly when he was coming home.  This is a really sweet family and I’m so happy that everyone is safe here at home and able to spend the holidays together.  I hope these pictures make the homecoming just that much sweeter.

Love it!

The expression kills me!  Addison is only 2 months old.  She is so adorable!

The whole family!!

Such a good big brother.

The beginning was all about Tristan so Addison needed some time in the spotlight inside where it is warm and cozy.

Aubrey and Riley at Goddard Park – RI Family Portrait Photography

I was very excited to meet this family in Goddard Park last week.  From reading Helena’s emails I knew I would like her.  It turns out she is not only funny but also beautiful with a gorgeous family to boot!  Sort of makes my job easy.  It was a little chilly out but the whole family were troopers.  Aubrey wrapped herself in Riley’s blanket in between shots.  Anything to keep warm and happy!  She is 2 which means she is the boss!

Such a sweetie.  She wasn’t too into the camera at first, but thankfully she warmed up to me!

Riley is 4 months.  What a handsome guy!!!  I love his flowing baby hair.  He is adorable…

Words can’t describe the cuteness.

Brother and sister love!

Peeking in on her brother’s close up.

Trying to see if there is anything hiding in my camera.

Baby Sarah in Newport, RI – RI Baby Photographer

About a year ago I had the pleasure of photographing Jen and Brad’s wedding at Castle Hill in Newport, RI.  This year I headed to Castle Hill to see them again, but this time to photograph their beautiful baby girl, Sarah!  She was just about a month old.  I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a baby this age who loved the camera more than Sarah.  She was mesmerized by it, always staring right into my lens and even smiling.  Add the cuteness and it made my job way too easy!

She has good-looking parents so that always helps.

See what I mean?  Absolutely loving the camera!

I love her expressions in these two pictures.

I couldn’t pick a favorite between the next three photos so I’m posting them all.  They are all too cute to not share.

DiMartino Family Portrait in West Warwick, RI – RI Family Portrait Photography

I was contacted a couple of months ago by my old friend, Gina, about doing a family portrait.  It’s not everyday that the family is together.  With siblings in California, New Jersey, and Kentucky it’s rare that they are in the same room together.  I was excited to do it because I’ve known Gina since elementary school and went to school with all of her brothers and sister at some point in my life.

Here is the newest edition to the family!  Lisa and John had this little guy two weeks before the portrait shoot.  Meet Michael!!

The whole crew!

The little guy on the right, Eric, wanted to eat and was not afraid to let everyone know.  Thankfully I got a picture before the tears started.

If you graduated from West Warwick High School in the 90’s you know at least one of these guys!

We lost Eric!

Yup, Eric is all set with this picture stuff.

Finally happy smiling!  We can thank Daddy for that.

Cousins Beach Mini Shoot – RI Family Portrait Photographer

This family was referred to me by another client of mine.  She warned me that these kids were some of the cutest I would ever see.  She was right!  It also helps when your Moms are on top of things.  Not only were they in perfect beach outfits, but they also brought so many great “props” – an adorable knit stuffed mermaid, star fish, a cute stuffed doggie.  Picture perfect add ons always help!
