Fall Family Portrait in Roger Williams Park – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

The fall is a great time of year for photos. I guess that’s stating the obvious. Even though I’ve done portraits in the fall many times every year I’m so inspired once I get out there and start snapping. It also helps when you have such a good looking family! These boys are beyond handsome! I met Eli when he was the one and only baby. Now he is a big brother! Love watching families grow and the babies grow up. One of the best parts of my job!

The fall is such a great time for family photos! This family opted on going to Prospect Park in Providence. This is where Mom and Dad got engaged so it’s perfect! We got to take a mix of photos in the park and some in front of the old houses in the neighborhood. These guys are actually old classmates of mine so getting to see them is always a bonus for me. Their youngest son, Carter, is sort of a maniac. I can say that because my son is exactly the same! I still say we should put them in a room together and see what happens!  Thankfully we got Carter to take a break from his running and throwing leaves (my idea!  Oops!) to snap a couple of pictures.

A photographer likes to scope out different places to take photos, looking for good light and nice scenarios. You do this no matter who your subject is even if she is two. Of course once the session starts you quickly realize that no two year old is ever going to stand where and how you want them to stand. I’ve done photos of many two year olds, but I have yet to learn this lesson. I still pick out spots and check for light. 5 minutes later I’m running like a mad man to keep up to get the shot. This little lady was no exception! I do appreciate being kept on my toes. Thankfully it’s in my job description…

Lasher’s Newborn Portrait Shoot – RI Newborn Photography

A couple of weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of doing a maternity session for Lasher’s mom and dad.  Now I get to meet the little man that was cooking in that big belly!  Such a handsome little guy!  I am so happy that I had the chance to meet this family.  I also would like to publicly apologize for telling Lasher’s parents horror stories of how my son woke up three times a night until he was 15 months old.  What am I doing?  Guys, I will guarantee that Lasher is an angel.  He was too well behaved at the portrait shoot to be anything but!

How awesome is it when you go to take a picture of someone and you see them “web slinging” in your direction? I will tell you that I think it’s pretty cool. Robby likes Spiderman and he was not afraid to show it while posing for photos. I’m so happy that Mom and Dad didn’t tell him to stop it. This is who he is at this age so why not capture it in the photos? It also adds some personality to the pictures. When Stella tried to do her own spiderman hand gesture Robby did put the kabosh on that. When she wasn’t teasing her brother she was being the cutest little girl ever, playing shy. Very adorable! I do get jealous of some of my family portraits and make plans to bring my own kids to certain locations. This session definitely qualifies as one of those…

Love the personality in these pictures!
