Family Portrait in Roger Williams Park – RI Photographer

Posted on September 21, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

How do you repay your child’s teacher for all they do? I honestly can’t begin to figure out how. My son was in Pre-K last year and we were so fortunate to have two of the best people taking care of him while he was there. They snuggled with him at rest time, calmed him down when he got hurt, helped him to be a good friend to his peers and made him love and enjoy going to school. How can I even begin to say thank you for that?! These pictures certainly can’t come close, but it’s the least I can do. Thanks for taking care of my baby, Miss Tracy!

Cake Smash Portrait Session – RI Cake Smash Photography

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

It seemed like this cake smash was never going to happen but thankfully we were able to do it! Mom warned me that Mackenzie was a fast one! She was right! Thankfully we were able to distract her long to get some great photos! These guys picked some of great colors for their outfits and the cake smash. I love coral and teal together! Great colors, super cute clothes, headpieces and an adorable little baby! What more could a photographer ask for?

Newport Beach Portrait – RI Portrait Photography

You really can’t beat the beach for photos. The secret is to do it at the right time of day when the sun is all yellow and “glowy”! Ok the sun is always yellow and “glowy” but if you want nice portraits you have to get the timing right. We had it down for this portrait in Newport! Korey is the kind of little girl you envision when one imagines a portrait on the beach. Mom and Dad picked out the perfect dress and even brought a pretty shell for a prop. Let’s not forget to mention the hair! A big shout out to Mom for maintaining that long beautiful hair! I have a daughter and know what it’s like to brush a little girl’s hair… It’s not fun. Not only was Korey’s hair perfect but she also had the cutest starfish barrette in the back. My favorite part of the session was at the end when Korey (and myself) got right in the ocean to take some of the best photos of the day!

Newborn Portrait Session – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on April 29, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

Two years ago I met this beautiful family when their second daughter was born. Recently I received an email from Mom saying that they were having a third child. This time it’s was going to be a little boy! Finally Dad has another man in the house! I showed up and found his two sisters dressed to the nines in their adorable dresses. We took some photos outside while Mommy got the little guy all settled. Tony was such a perfect little model! He rocked his little giraffe outfit!

Congrats to this wonderful family!

Newport Beach Family Portrait – RI Family Portrait Photography

There is nothing that stresses me out more than a portrait session with these guys. Don’t get me wrong! They aren’t pains. They aren’t demanding. I just love them all so which puts added pressure on me because I want to do the best job ever! Mommy is a dear friend and these girls have become two of the best friends ever to my kids. My daughter, Zoe, and Ava have loved each other since they met in Gymboree class when they were almost two years old. They have done so much for me and my family and this is why when it’s time to do photos I personally want to knock it out of the park. Now that Christmas cards are out and gifts have been given I can finally share this session with you! It may be cold outside but we will be at the beach again in a couple of months! Until then warm up with these pics and remember… summer is almost here (I swear!!).
