Cake Smash at Colt State Park in Bristol, RI

Posted on August 28, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of meeting this family almost a year ago when little Julia could hardly sit up. Thankfully she was able to sit for photos with the help of big brother and sister. Now here we are celebrating her first birthday with a cake smash portrait session! Time sure does fly. Instead of helping her sit up her big brother and sister were there help her balance on the uneven ground at the park. Of course they also got in some photos as well. Julia gave us some many smiles that it definitely made my job easy. She is a happy, happy baby… I mean toddler!!

Family of Five Sunflower Portrait in CT

Posted on August 10, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

Five children in one photo? Five kids to make look at the camera all at the same time? Time for the photographer to have a nervous breakdown? Not at all. I have taken pictures of these five kids before and I have to say it’s easier than some families of one! Not only do they listen and look at the camera, but they also take turns carrying my backpak of equipment! Mom messaged me a year ago about doing this portrait session. The weather and crazy schedules tried to stop us, but we managed to get in these photos one Saturday morning. So happy we did!!

Family Portrait Photography in Rhode Island

Posted on July 1, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

This portrait session has been a long time in the making! Mom contacted me around Thanksgiving. She had a vision of a family portrait in a rural setting with fun farm style fences. We put our heads together and came up with some different locations. Unfortunately we were missing the fences. One day she found the perfect location with the fences we had been dreaming of. It was on private property but that didn’t stop her! She asked permission to do photos on the land and viola! Here we are after some weather cancellations and lots of planning! I know how excited everyone was to do these photos and how much research/planning went into this. Thanks for having me help make the vision a reality!

Family Portrait Time – RI Family Portraits

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I have had the pleasure of photographing this family for the past three years. My first session with them was part maternity session! Now look how big these boys are getting. It’s so nice to be able to go to someone’s house to do photos. It doesn’t hurt that they have a fabulous yard! It’s also so easy for the kids to just run around, play with their toys and be themselves.

Elena’s Newborn Session with Big Sister, Alyssa – RI Baby Photography

Posted on April 4, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

It isn’t very often that you walk in a house for your portrait session and get a hug from one of your subjects. This is actually the first time it’s happened and I will tell you it was a nice way to start! After Alyssa gave me my hug she told me all about her grandparents, asked me about my cameras, showed me her room and wanted to know what kind of stuff I had at my house. I’m going to guess that Alyssa doesn’t have much trouble making new friends. We were buds after a couple of minutes. Her new sister, Elena, was much less talkative but just as adorable. She was only a week and a half old when we took these photos. So precious!

While Mommy nursed little Elena to get her all happy and content for photos I went outside to take some pictures of her big sister.

Yeah, we didn’t have fun or anything…

The elusive toddler and newborn picture is usually really hard, but Alyssa made this the easiest one yet. She did such a great job!

This photo makes me laugh so much! There is so much personality. I’ve been trying to imagine what the girls will say in 20 years when they look at this picture.
