Little Hunter at Roger Williams Park – RI Baby Photographer

Posted on January 10, 2011 by Melissa Lacouture

I was looking at my “Things to do” list for January and high on the top was email Brooke! Back in October when Brooke and her beautiful family came to my family portrait day she was (and still is) pregnant with #2. We made plans to do a newborn shoot when the baby comes. He should be here any day now. Before I post the pictures of the newborn I wanted to give Hunter his time in the spotlight! He’ll be sharing it with someone else soon enough.

Family happiness AND sun flare!? Love it!

Hunter is going to be about a year older than his new brother. Being so close in age means Hunter is not only getting a new brother. He’s also getting a new best friend.

Who couldn’t love this little face?

Can’t wait to see you guys and your new arrival!

Baby Alex at Roger Williams Park – RI photography

On my family portrait day I had the pleasure of meeting Michelle, Matt and the new edition to the family, Alexander. I took these photos back in October. I believe he was about 6 months old. Adorable is the first word that comes to mind! Those cheeks, those eyes! I would be remiss if I didn’t discuss the hat. It’s a little ridiculous

Here is little Alex with his adoring Mom, Michelle. There’s just something about having a son.

I guess Alex has both parents wrapped around his finger already! If you ask me there is nothing wrong with that at all!

My Little Ones

Who are the two most photographed kids in the world? These two kids! Why? Because they are mine! I have SO many pictures of them and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This is Max and Zoe. It’s Max’s first Christmas which means this year is his first apperance on our holiday card! It’s his big debut! It’s an old hat for Zoe though. She is totally into getting her picture taken.

My husband loves the tie. He said that Max looks like “a drunk republican”

Zoe lurking in the back wondering why she isn’t front and center in these pictures..

She’s back in the spotlight! Max is not too happy about it! Photo shoot done!

The fabulous Ava

When Ava’s mom, Amanda, wanted some pictures of her beautiful daughter I was happy to help. Ava and my daughter, Zoe, have been bros since the old days of baby Gymboree class. They met and instantly fell in love. Now three years later they are still buds. Because Zoe loves Ava so much I thought it would be fun to bring her along. Probably not the best idea since Zoe wanted to be in EVERY picture with Ava!

This is what I ended up with! They were having a blast!

I finally got Zoe to step aside for a couple of pictures.

One of my faves! I love pictures of kids being kids. This is a classic!

Posing in the park

It’s not easy fitting a portrait shoot into this family’s schedule! They are busy, busy. There was a lot of emailing and scheduling, but they finally were able to fit me in. When I met them they were fresh from a visit to Disney World! Sort of jealous. Not going to lie.

This is Emma. She is a super poser!
