Family Portrait in Providence – RI Portrait Photography

Posted on October 27, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

Fall is the time that I do lots of family portraits. The light and the colors are some of the best stuff of the year. This family always takes advantage of that gorgeousness every autumn. Not that they need any help because this is one gorgeous family! They would look great in front of a dumpster. I met everyone when big brother was about 6 months old. That was four years ago and one less family member. Now little brother is on the scene and trying to steal the show. I don’t think my peek-a-boo-ing from behind the camera ever yielded so many smiles!

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!!

Family Portrait Session at Roger Williams Park

Posted on September 10, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

I’ve said it many, many times here on my blog and really I can’t say it enough. It’s such an honor to be able to capture families as they grow and change. I’ve taken a lot of pics of this family when there was only four of them. Now they have a fifth member that’s been added to the mix. He has a lot to live up to because his brothers really have this photo thing down! I don’t know how they do it, but these guys just can’t stop being cute for the camera. I’ve taken some of my cutest photos of these guys and now there is a third! It must be in the genes because the youngest was hamming it up for the camera. Triple cuteness overload.

Family Portrait Session in Bristol, RI

Posted on July 23, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

When you are pregnant with your second child you always think “This baby is going to have everything their older sister had. Baby books, scrapbooks, tons of photos…” Unfortunately that doesn’t always happen, but we all make a valiant effort to do so. My son is definitely going to be mad at me one day (sorry, Max! Mommy loves you!!). This family did pictures with their oldest girl and wanted to make sure they got some with their (not so) new addition! We had the most gorgeous day for these pictures and the light was amazing! First we stopped by Colt State Park and then it was off to Bristol Harbour Inn where Mom and Dad just happened to get married! That’s what we call going Full Circle!

Family Portrait in Roger Williams Park – RI Portrait Photography

Posted on June 22, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

Roger Williams Park is one of my favorite places to do a portrait session. The park has so many beautiful places for photos. I met this family at one of my most frequented spots in the park. They had their two daughters with then in adorable matching dresses! One baby couldn’t move, but the other made up for that. I certainly got my work out in this session, but no child has ever really made my job “easy”. When you are a toddler you have lots of things you want to do. I’m just there to go with the flow and get some photos of it happening.
