Senior Portrait Session in Newport – RI Senior Photographer

Posted on February 7 by Melissa Lacouture

Sometimes, rescheduling for weather feels like a hassle, but for this Newport senior session, it was so worth it. The golden hour light on the beach? Absolute perfection.

We couldn’t have asked for a better beach day! We had the best lighting, the kind of dreamy glow that photographers live for. My subject brought awesome outfits, natural confidence, and her sweet mother. All the elements of a super fun session.

Rescheduling for the weather? Totally worth it. This session turned out to be one for the books, with the beach in Newport showing off at its best. Senior portraits like this are all about celebrating the now while looking ahead to the amazing future—and this gallery has it all.

Capturing Memories: Fall Senior Portraits Blithewold in Bristol RI

Posted on January 26 by Melissa Lacouture

Fall in New England is nothing short of magical and Blithewold Mansion in Bristol, RI provides the perfect backdrop for any senior portrait session. We were lucky to hit the golden hour – giving everything that warm, dreamy light that makes photos feel so timeless.

Our senior looked amazing and her personality shone through in every frame! From fun poses in the gardens to candid moments along the mansion’s pathways, each shot reflected their her style and confidence.

Blithewold Mansion never fails to inspire creativity, and this session was no exception. As we wrapped up, we couldn’t help but feel grateful for the chance to work in such an iconic location with such a fantastic client. Senior year is such a special time, and I’m always so honored to have been part of celebrating it!

Alex’s Senior Portrait – RI Senior Portraits

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Melissa Lacouture

When the Lifetouch Senior Portrait brochure showed up at the house Alex ripped it up and said “Meesha is taking my senior portrait”. Meesha is me and Alex is my brother. There is a big age difference, I won’t say exactly how much of a difference. Let’s put it this way – he has referred to me as his “Mother Sister”. I can still remember my Mom and Dad leaving the house to go to the hospital to have the new baby (I was a teenager and totally freaked out seeing my mom in labor so I decided to stay home). I remember hearing him cry in the middle of the night, getting up to help change a diaper. Now he is a senior in high school and the best uncle ever to my little ones. It’s sort of unbelievable. Alex, I love you and I’m so proud of what a good person you’ve grown up to be! Thanks for letting me take your senior pictures.

It’s different taking your brother’s pictures. People usually listen to me, but Alex sort of just laughed at me or refused to stand where I wanted him to. Not many people fight me. I guess that’s what little brothers are supposed to do.

Alex plays bass and guitar. I can’t wait to go see him play in a band!

I had to put in a couple of outtakes. As I said he is a great Uncle. My daughter insisted on joining us for the shoots and got in on some of the picture taking action.

Not the best assistant but she is cute.
