Family Portrait at Roger Williams Park – RI Family Photography

Posted on October 8, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I’ve known this family for a very long time! And I don’t mean long time ago like I did the youngest’s cake smash (which I did). I’m talking way back! Elementary school back! Thanks to facebook I’ve been able to reconnect with a lot of old friends including these guys. As a matter of fact Lauren is the owner of Cake-tique who does all my pretty cake smash cakes! Obviously the family has grown since I met them at Providence St School. Mom has been wanting a family portrait of everyone for a while now. Her thoughtful daughters got a gift certificate with moi and we finally got to do it! I may be a little biased, but I believe photos make the best gifts!

Family Portrait Session in Newport, RI – RI Family Photography

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

This session was a year in the making. Last year we tried and tried to get to the beach, but with parents as busy as I am and bad weather we couldn’t make it happen! Finally we all had a free day AND it didn’t rain!! Yay! I’ve done cake smashes for two of these little girls and now look at them! I can not believe how big they have gotten!! This family has been letting me take photos of them since I started this little venture. They have sent so many referrals my way. Those are two things that mean the world to me and I can not thank them enough!

How do you repay your child’s teacher for all they do? I honestly can’t begin to figure out how. My son was in Pre-K last year and we were so fortunate to have two of the best people taking care of him while he was there. They snuggled with him at rest time, calmed him down when he got hurt, helped him to be a good friend to his peers and made him love and enjoy going to school. How can I even begin to say thank you for that?! These pictures certainly can’t come close, but it’s the least I can do. Thanks for taking care of my baby, Miss Tracy!

Cake Smash Portrait Session – RI Cake Smash Photography

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

It seemed like this cake smash was never going to happen but thankfully we were able to do it! Mom warned me that Mackenzie was a fast one! She was right! Thankfully we were able to distract her long to get some great photos! These guys picked some of great colors for their outfits and the cake smash. I love coral and teal together! Great colors, super cute clothes, headpieces and an adorable little baby! What more could a photographer ask for?

Two Year Portrait at the Studio – RI Baby Photography

This little guy is so cute! I mean really just so so cute! I did his cake smash session last year when he turned a year old. He stood up for the first time right in front of my camera! Now here he is a year later, running all over the place, showing me his train collection. It never ceases to amaze me how much can change in just one year. Another thing that never changes is how truly honored that people let me capture the growth of their little ones year after year.
