Baby Girl Newborn Session – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on January 13, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

Let’s go back a couple of weeks to Christmas time! The plan was that this little lady was going to be arriving some time after Christmas. Mom and Dad had their Christmas cards printed with photos of their two boys, Mommy’s belly along with a holiday greeting that included info about a little baby girl who would be arriving soon. Well, Samantha must have caught wind of this and decided to put a wrench in that plan. She made her debut before the cards went out so Mom decided to include a “Christmas Card Addendum” if you will with the photos we took. Samantha’s little brothers were on hand for the session. They were adorable with their sister. From the looks of it she is going to have two protective older brothers to deal with.

A little over a month ago I had the pleasure of doing a portrait for this family. Since then things have changed a lot! They welcomed their new daughter, Elle, to the family! She is a month old and as cute as a button. We took lots of photos and when it was time to eat I hung out with her big brother in his room taking even more photos. Ryan is an active little guy (what two year old isn’t) so I was very happy to get photos of him and his new sister. Congrats to the family and have a wonderful holiday season with your new addition!

Logan is has the best time when we take pictures. She scares me, I scream, she laughs. It’s a formula we had this year for her mini and portrait session. I have to say it worked beautifully! In addition to scaring me Logan was also having the best time throwing leaves in the air. Perfect fall portrait accessory! I always look forward to seeing Logan and her family. I probably spend as much time chatting with Mom as I do taking photos. Hanging out with cool families is reason #453 why I love my job. Thanks for choosing me to take your photos, guys!

I love these photos because I love this family! Ada is my kids’ bud. There was a time when all my son said was “Ada hit me” (even though she didn’t). There was also a time when Ada always talking about the time my son, Max, gave her way too aggressive of a hug (which did happen). Mandy is an amazingly talented graphic designer. She does all the design work for my wedding photography business called M.Studios and does amazing letterpress wedding invitations and birth announcments. Check out her web site or etsy shop! I also can’t wait to share the new logo she did for me that has inspired a whole new look for Melissa Lacouture Photography!

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of photographing this little lady a couple of times now. Every time she has come to do photos she has brought her little dolly, Sasha. It makes sense that Sasha was included in all the family photos. At this point she is just that – one of the family. It’s nice when people decide to include personal elements like this in the photos session. So we had two parents, two dogs, one toddler and a doll. Somehow it all worked out and we got photos of everyone! It was that crazy Sasha who wouldn’t sit still for most of the photos. Such a diva.
