Logan’s Hip Portrait Shoot in Providence, RI – RI Baby Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

I couldn’t have had a better subject to shoot in Providence.  Logan is exactly what you think of when you think of a city girl except she is a toddler.  She is intelligent – She knew so many words and even some letters and numbers.  She is hip – Check the outfit!  She is independent – She was running down the street like she owned the place.  Lots of smiles and great locations made it really hard to pick just a couple for the blog so I just had to post some extra!

Usually gates like this are massive so it was nice to find a toddler sized one.

So happy!  Love those little teeth!

Having a blast in the city…

Alex’s Senior Portrait – RI Senior Portraits

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

When the Lifetouch Senior Portrait brochure showed up at the house Alex ripped it up and said “Meesha is taking my senior portrait”.  Meesha is me and Alex is my brother.  There is a big age difference, I won’t say exactly how much of a difference.  Let’s put it this way – he has referred to me as his “Mother Sister”.  I can still remember my Mom and Dad leaving the house to go to the hospital to have the new baby (I was a teenager and totally freaked out seeing my mom in labor so I decided to stay home).  I remember hearing him cry in the middle of the night, getting up to help change a diaper.  Now he is a senior in high school and the best uncle ever to my little ones.  It’s sort of unbelievable.  Alex, I love you and I’m so proud of what a good person you’ve grown up to be!  Thanks for letting me take your senior pictures.

It’s different taking your brother’s pictures.  People usually listen to me, but Alex sort of just laughed at me or refused to stand where I wanted him to.  Not many people fight me.  I guess that’s what little brothers are supposed to do.

Alex plays bass and guitar.  I can’t wait to go see him play in a band!

I had to put in a couple of outtakes.  As I said he is a great Uncle.  My daughter insisted on joining us for the shoots and got in on some of the picture taking action.

Not the best assistant but she is cute.

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!

Twins at Goddard Park – RI Baby Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

I can imagine that having identical twin babies can sort of make you feel like a celebrity.  When I asked Mom and Dad what it was like to get everyday tasks done like going to the grocery store they told me that the hardest part is being stopped by people who wanted to oooh and aaahhh over the twins.  As a matter of fact we were approached by a lady during our shoot who just couldn’t get over how cute these little ladies were.  I guess it’s sort of a good problem to have.  Who could blame all these strangers for becoming adoring fans when they see such cutie pies?

I’m just thankful I got to take photos of these ladies before they learned to walk or crawl.  That made my job easier.

See they are celebrities.  Time for an outfit change!

Best Friends in Providence, RI – RI Portrait Photography

Before we go any further here I just want to make one thing clear – Brett and Kate are NOT dating!  That was one of the first things that was said when we met for the shoot.  I was told not to bring the romance to these photos.  Done.  I’ve never actually done a Best Buds shoot and it was fun.  I think that shows in the photos.  Today just happens to be Brett’s birthday so I wanted to get this post up today in honor of that.  Happy Birthday, Brett!  I hope you guys like the pictures!  PS Kate, I know you are going to be totally critical about how you look so I just want to say that I personally think you look beautiful in all of them!
