Bonnet Shores Beach Portrait in Narragansett, RI – RI Family Photograher

Posted on January 6 by Melissa Lacouture

Fall at Bonnet Shores in Narragansett, RI is truly something special! People always think of summer for beach sessions but don’t sleep on autumn by the water! The crisp ocean breeze, the golden hues of the dunes, and the soft sunlight create a perfect backdrop for capturing beautiful moments. I also love photographing a family in a place they love! Bonnet Shores is near and dear to this family. It was their first session together and I was honored to be the one who was able to capture these moments during their first year as a family of three!

Brothers Portrait at the Studio – RI Family Photographer

Posted on February 2, 2024 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of photographing three adorable brothers. I first met this family when there was only one baby! The youngest of the trio just celebrated his first birthday. This portrait session was filled with laughter and playful antics as you can see in the pictures! It’s these kinds of moments captured that make my job as a photographer so rewarding. Seeing families evolve and capturing their bonds is a privilege that goes beyond just taking pictures. As always thanks for letting me be a part of the journey!

Sisters Portrait Session in MA

Posted on July 10, 2017 by Melissa Lacouture

I have had the pleasure of working with this lovely family three times now. We started with one child to photograph and now there are two beautiful little ladies to take photos of! This session was in part to document a huge milestone for little sis… She just turned one year old! These girls were giving me all the cuteness during this session. You can see how happy and sweet they are in these photos. Can’t wait to see you all again!

Sister Portrait at the Studio

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of photographing this family when there was only one little girl. Fast forward two years and they’ve added in one more little cutie! Both of these little ladies have birthday’s close to one another so we were able to do the girl’s birthday portraits in one session. We listened to some T. Swift, read a book, and explored my building all while taking photos! The girls did such a good job that they got themselves a visit to a playground! Bribery works, people!

Cake Smash Session at the Studio – First Birthday Portrait

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

This was the cake smash that I thought would never happen! Every time we scheduled the session it would snow. This is not shocking considering the amount of snow we’ve gotten in the past month. FINALLY there was a break in all this crazy weather. We were able to do the session and it was worth the wait! This little lady was a pro! She made it one of the easiest cake smashes ever. The smiles kept coming, the cake was smashed, and the pictures look amazing! Happy Birthday, Amelia!!!
