Family Portrait in Salem, MA – MA Baby Photography

Posted on August 17, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

For this family portrait I drove all the way up to Salem. I hadn’t been to Salem since I was a kid. There were so many historic houses, a beautiful waterfront, and lots of Halloween stores. The Halloween thing really confused me at first then I remembered… It’s Salem, MA! In my defense we did meet early in the morning. I sometimes need help waking up. Thankfully Everett and his parents were up and looking awesome! We were able to get in some smiles and even a couple of different locations before nap time. Everett was just adorable. His smile is a little too much cuteness for me to handle. He did a great job posing when he was all done pointing at everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better subject.

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!!

Brothers Birthday Portrait in Providence – RI Children Photography

Posted on August 9, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

Just stop with the cuteness, Boys!! I mean really. There were several times in the course of this portrait that I had to stop and reassure Mom and Dad that these might be the cutest photos ever taken. Watching these guys interact with each other was truly an adorable sight. They have birthdays that are pretty close so we are able to do their birthday portraits all in one sitting. This is the third time I’ve taken their photos and it’s been a treat every time. Mom always picks out the best outfits. She didn’t disappoint this time! Those hats are to die for!

Caleb’s First Birthday Cake Smash Portrait Session

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

Still can’t believe this little dude is a year old now!! It seems like yesterday I was just shooting Mom and Dad’s wedding! Now here is this little guy. Before we know it he’ll be quoting Star Wars movies with Dad! Then when I do his senior portraits he will be making fun of Dad for quoting Star Wars. He may also complain that he has to have “that tired old photographer” take his senior pictures. Enough of that! Let’s enjoy the agreeable, smiley little baby we have here! Mom had some awesome outfits, birthday hats, and a wagon to boot. It made for a fun and easy portrait session with one of my favorite families!

Family Portrait at Harkness State Park in CT

Posted on July 8, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I’ve had the pleasure of watching this family grow over the years. Stella and Shane hired me to do their wedding photography. The wedding took place at one of my favorite venues, Harkness Memorial Park in CT. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with so many flowers. Fast forward to 2013… I’m meeting Stella and Shane once again at Harkness. The park is just as gorgeous but one thing is very different. Instead of doing photos of just Stella and Shane this time they brought there adorable daughters for the photos! How beautiful these girls are!! This is the third family portrait session we have done and I really can’t wait to see them again!
