Tiny Shoot with Emma and Nicholas

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

If you have been to my blog before you will recognize these cute little faces!  They have been on my site more times than anyone else.  I’m always happy to see my two little friends.  Sometimes the mini shoots go by so quick.  It’s plenty of time for pictures but not enough time to hang out!  The new bit of info I got from their mom, Stacy, is that these two were picked to be represented by a modeling agency!  A little extra moola to beef up those college funds never hurt anyone!  Maybe one day I’ll see them on TV and say “Hey, I took their picture!”

Nicholas was posing it up and lost his grip on the balloon.

 

I love this one!

 

Tiny Shoot with Kenzee and Kylee – RI Children Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

Kenzee and Kylee are sisters.  Kenzee is 5 and Kylee is 13.  Kenzee just turned 5 so the mini shoot was also her “year 5 portrait”  I think it is such a good idea to commorate a birthday with a photo shoot.  Every year I take WAY too many pictures of my kids to honor their birthday.

I had a lot of trouble picking pictures for this post.  Kenzee was being SO cute and funny!  I love all of these pictures!  She has a lot of personality and was not afraid to show it.

Did I mention that she is 5 now?

 

 

Love this picture of the sisters!  They’ve got some good genes!  So pretty!

 

Winning some major points with me by wearing red chucks!  My fave shoes in my fave color…

 

Kylee is 13 so of course she has two best friends.  They came along to take some pics with Kylee.  They were being a little goofy which I always like.  When I was looking at these pictures they made me think of the last line in one of my favorite movies, “Stand By Me”.  The movie ends with “I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?”

 

Little Baby Mackenzie – RI Newborn Photography

It is always a special treat for me when a couple whose wedding I photographed later asks me to do baby pictures!  Your wedding day is the most important day of your life until you have kids.  Then it’s all about the baby.  It’s nice that I get to be there for both of the big love events!  Sean and Amanda aren’t just another couple, they are part of my family.  So this little lady isn’t just another baby!  Mackenzie’s the littlest member of the fam!  She is also going to be my son, Max’s, playmate at all family gatherings.

When I saw this chair at the baby shower I thought “Photo op!”  Isn’t she adorable!?

3 weeks old and already better dressed than me!  Her hat matches the blanket!  This is one fancy baby…

 

I don’t know if a cuter picture has ever been taken!

This past October I had the pleasure of doing a portrait shoot of the cutest little guy named Hunter.  At the time his mommy, Brook, was pregnant with number 2.  Hunter is now 15 months old and he just became a big brother!  This is Dillon at a whopping 10 days old.

 

Here is Dillon chillin’

 

Big brother getting in some smooches…  Well they were more like licks.

Mandy, Derrick and Ada (plus Roscoe) at Roger Williams Park – RI Family Photographer

 One of the first things you must think about my web site is “Man, that is one awesome banner!”  Well, we can thank Mandy here for designing it.  Although I think she’d prefer it if you said the banner was rad instead of awesome, but that’s ok. 

 Mandy and I have lots of mutual friends, but had never met.  Then when I was pregnant with my son, Max, I found out that this mysterious person named Mandy was also pregnant.  Mandy was due to have her baby two weeks after me.  Then Max turned out to be breach (or should I say didn’t turn at all).  Mandy also had a stubborn breach baby.  All these similarities, but we never met.  Once I had Max my husband was always saying how cool Mandy was and how I should hang out with her.  Well, she is and now I do (when it isn’t snowing and if either of us can ever find the time). 

Here she is with her stubborn little lady, Ada, Derrick and their first baby and puppy, Roscoe.  These are definitely some of my favorite family pics to date.  I hope they love them as much as I love my banner.  Thanks, Mandy!
