Family Portrait in Providence, RI – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

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.

Phillip and William’s Brothers Portrait Session at Roger Williams Park – RI Baby Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

One child is usually easy breezy, but two little ones can be a daunting task. Thankfully Phillip and William were happy to sit for me to get their picture taken.  Phillip was actually pretty amused by the silly things I do to keep my subjects interested and sitting still.  William was more perplexed as to why I was acting a fool!  Either way the out come is what I wanted – attentive little boys.  Not always an easy task.

See what I mean? I little like “What is this lady doing?”

These little guys were seriously adorable! Phillip is such a good big brother.

Kian’s Cake Smash With Big Brother Koda – Bristol, RI

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

We had to reschedule the first and second time we planned this shoot.  The only problem was the second time we rescheduled it was last minute.  I already picked up the cake for the smash from Lauren at Cake-tique.  Then the rain came!  Ugh!  Thankfully with this being RI the rain left as quickly as it came.  We were able to do the portrait without having to order a new cake!  These boys are as sweet as they are handsome.  They were so easy to work with.  With a little help from Mommy, Daddy and an occasional M&M (you have to do what you have to do) I got so many good shots that I had trouble picking for the blog.  Good luck to Mom and Dad when the time comes to print pictures!  It’s going to be tough.

Such a nice family!  I was so happy to meet them.

How cute is he?

Love this one of the brothers.

I love doing on location cake smashes.

I love the next two pictures so much I couldn’t choose.  That is one adorable little man…

Cutest cake smash pictures ever?

Matthew and Jack’s Newborn and New Brothers Portrait Shoot

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

It’s no secret that I love Matthew.  He is two years old and quite the charmer.  Look at him!  Who wouldn’t love him?  Now he has a partner in crime that may rival him in cuteness – A brand new brother named Jack!  I was very excited to see the family again and was especially looking forward to meeting the new edition.  With Mom and Dad’s help we were able to get some photos of the brothers together.  There is something that all kids do that always cracks me up.  They will sit there with their new sibling until they are done.  And when they are done they just get up even though there is a fragile little baby on their lap.  That’s why is very important to have someone actually hold the baby.

Seriously?!  He is just so cute!

I am thankful for the high ceilings because this is not the first time this has happened.

Jack’s big debut!

He is so adorable!  I love my job because I get my baby fix in without having to have another baby!

Brothers!

2011 Rewind :: Newborns – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

I have to say looking at all the family portraits that I posted yesterday made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  Today’s post is no different.  After the family comes together the newborn baby makes it that much stronger.  I’ve had the absolute pleasure of documenting the new edition for some families.  I love all the stages and ages for different reasons.  What I love about doing a newborn shoot is that one moment when for just a split second they look right into my camera lens.  Those are always “the one” picture from the portrait session.  I also love just being around them.  They are only new for a short, short period of time.  I love watching them stretch and yawn, but above all I love listening to them breathe.  Being new to air and all they sound like they have been smoking for the past 20 years.  Maybe not so cute for an adult, but when an 8 pound cutie pie is doing it it’s adorable.

So in this rewind we are checking out some of the highlights from my newborn shoots of 2011.  Tomorrow…  Lot of babies.
