Sisters Portrait at the Studio – RI Children Portrait Photography

Posted on October 13, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

These little ladies came in for their first mini shoot last year. Now they are ready for the big time – A full blown portrait session! These girls are full of energy. So much energy that I’m sure Mom and Dad were wondering if I got any good photos of them! Thankfully my camera is faster than most children so it doesn’t miss that ten second moment where everyone was sitting nicely. I love the dresses Mom picked out for these girls! So feminine and cute! Can’t wait to see you guys again!

Family Portrait Session in Newport, RI – RI Family Photography

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

This session was a year in the making. Last year we tried and tried to get to the beach, but with parents as busy as I am and bad weather we couldn’t make it happen! Finally we all had a free day AND it didn’t rain!! Yay! I’ve done cake smashes for two of these little girls and now look at them! I can not believe how big they have gotten!! This family has been letting me take photos of them since I started this little venture. They have sent so many referrals my way. Those are two things that mean the world to me and I can not thank them enough!

Family Portrait in Roger Williams Park – RI Photographer

How do you repay your child’s teacher for all they do? I honestly can’t begin to figure out how. My son was in Pre-K last year and we were so fortunate to have two of the best people taking care of him while he was there. They snuggled with him at rest time, calmed him down when he got hurt, helped him to be a good friend to his peers and made him love and enjoy going to school. How can I even begin to say thank you for that?! These pictures certainly can’t come close, but it’s the least I can do. Thanks for taking care of my baby, Miss Tracy!

Newport Beach Portrait – RI Portrait Photography

Posted on August 23, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

You really can’t beat the beach for photos. The secret is to do it at the right time of day when the sun is all yellow and “glowy”! Ok the sun is always yellow and “glowy” but if you want nice portraits you have to get the timing right. We had it down for this portrait in Newport! Korey is the kind of little girl you envision when one imagines a portrait on the beach. Mom and Dad picked out the perfect dress and even brought a pretty shell for a prop. Let’s not forget to mention the hair! A big shout out to Mom for maintaining that long beautiful hair! I have a daughter and know what it’s like to brush a little girl’s hair… It’s not fun. Not only was Korey’s hair perfect but she also had the cutest starfish barrette in the back. My favorite part of the session was at the end when Korey (and myself) got right in the ocean to take some of the best photos of the day!

Second Year Portrait with Brooklyn – RI Child Photography

Posted on August 13, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I met Brooklyn last year at War Memorial Park, a place that has now become one of my favorite spots for photos! This year I had the pleasure of visiting Brook at her house! Lucky girl lives right next door to a horse barn! She is two and a half and already taking horse riding lessons. Since she loves her horsey neighbors mom and dad thought it would be nice to incorporate them into the session! Brooklyn has changed so much in the past year but one thing has stayed the same… her insane cuteness! She is a doll!! So happy that these guys found me and continue to use me to document the family!
