Rosie’s Portrait Shoot at the Studio – RI Portrait Photographer

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

There is just something about Rosie.  I love her.  It’s sort of funny because the first time I took pictures of her wasn’t the easiest shoot for me.  I pretty much chased her around some gardens for almost two whole hours!  She did not want me to take her picture.  The photos ended up being some of my favorites.  After doing those portraits I have been looking forward to taking Rosie’s pictures again.

Rosie’s Mom loves stars.  Sort of like a certain photographer I know.  When she saw the set up we had for our holiday mini shoots she wanted Rosie to have her portrait done in front of them.  Thankfully she was smart enough to book a whole portrait session instead of a mini.  Who knows if Rosie would warm up in 20 minutes?  Actually Rosie ended up having a great time getting her pictures done.  She didn’t want to leave the studio when it was done!

See what I mean?  don’t you just love her?

These pictures kill me!

Perfect girl for this backdrop!!

Hanna’s First Year Portrait – RI Baby Photographer

When I first saw Hanna I thought she looked like a little doll.  She is just turning one year old!  As a matter of fact she had a birthday party today to celebrate.  Happy Birthday, Hanna!  I’m so happy that I’m posting these pictures the day of her party.  Hope these bring a smile to Mom’s face after a fun (and I’m sure exhausting) day!!

This little girl was all over the studio, but not fast enough to get by me.

Such a beauty!  I love these two pictures (esp the one of the left)

Tutu’s are pretty tasty

Such a happy baby

A change of scenery.  I love my new backdrop… LOVE it!

Kaelyn’s First Year Portrait – RI Baby Photographer

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

One may be the littlest number you will ever be, but it’s the biggest birthday you will ever have.  The very first birthday is such a special time to celebrate.  Most parents think the first year goes by so fast.  That’s part of the reason it’s the perfect time to have some nice photos of your baby.  They are only one once.  It’s sad to say, but at a year old they are no longer a baby and officially a toddler.  So many changes happen in such a short period of time.  Kaelyn’s Mom knows how to do it up for this special event.  She had three adorable outfits for Kaelyn to change into and a cake for some “cake smash” shots.  Poor Kaelyn was not excited when it was time to stop eating the frosting and she wasn’t afraid to let us know.  Welcome to toddlerhood!

Avery’s First Birthday Cake Smash Part Two – RI Baby Photographer

Part two of Avery’s first year portrait!

The Cake Smash portrait is the new thing to do when your little baby turns a year old.  As a photographer I think it is really fun!  You just don’t know what’s going to happen!  Is the baby going to like it?  Are they going to even know what’s in front of them or worse yet will they care?  Basically you put the cake in place and hope for the best!  At first Avery was more interested in the shredded paper I had put down…

Contemplating this new little pink thing that has appeared… 

Didn’t take her long to figure out what to do with it!

And she is happy she did!

Avery’s big sister, Cady, watched her sister enjoy her cupcake.  She had to be held back a little bit.  Didn’t want to miss all the fun!  Thankfully her Mommy and Daddy brought a second cupcake so Cady could have a treat after Avery’s “smash” was done.

Avery’s First Bee Day Portrait Part 1 – RI Baby Photography

I am seriously having some major problems editing photos for this blog!  I just want to put them all up!  Honestly when you get a little girl like Avery in front of your camera who is giving you cuteness and then more cuteness… Well, you can see how I’m having a problem.  So I’ve decided to dedicate two posts to her first year photo shoot.  First post is all about her adorable birthday outfit.  Her mom bought it on Etsy, of course.  Etsy is a dangerous site because there is so much cute stuff on it but you should still check it out.  Click here to go to the store she bought it from.  As you can see it says “It’s my 1st Bee Day” on her onesie.  Pretty darn cute, but not as cute as Avery!  As I was editing the pictures I kept yelling out things like “Seriously!” or “Shut Up!” (that means I think she looked really cute in the picture).  So, now it’s time for you to yell out because when you see how cute she is you won’t be able to control yourself!

Be on the lookout for part 2…  The cake smash!
