Mackenzie’s First Year Portrait – RI Baby Photographer

A year ago Mackenzie was born in the middle of a huge snow storm.  Now she gets to celebrate her first birthday in the warmest January I can remember!  Mom and Dad are having a big birthday party this Saturday to celebrate.  We did two outfit changes AND a cake smash.  Mackenzie was much more interested in touching the cake than eating it.  As a matter of fact she got a chill when she took her first taste of frosting.  A literal sugar rush.  After that she wasn’t really into eating it as much as playing with it.  Eating, playing, it was still all really cute!

2011 Rewind :: Babies – RI Baby Photography

I have two children.  The plan has always been to have two and only two, one boy and one girl.  Luckily the plan worked, but sometimes I have moments when I am going to miss not having another baby.  This is where all your babies come in!  I just love being around your babies!  During a portrait shoot you are probably a little annoyed that the little bugger has been smiling at everything all morning and now that the camera is in front of them they decided to be “so serious”.  Meanwhile I’m so happy just hear them make funny noises or watch them marvel at a piece of grass or maybe a rock.  Being around your babies helps me get past those feelings about missing out on having another one.  It takes the edge off, so to speak.

So thank you, Babies of 2011, for giving me my baby fix and just for being so darn cute!  Tomorrow it’s that dirty word that starts with a T – Toddlers AKA 2 year olds!!

Hanna’s First Year Portrait – RI Baby Photographer

When I first saw Hanna I thought she looked like a little doll.  She is just turning one year old!  As a matter of fact she had a birthday party today to celebrate.  Happy Birthday, Hanna!  I’m so happy that I’m posting these pictures the day of her party.  Hope these bring a smile to Mom’s face after a fun (and I’m sure exhausting) day!!

This little girl was all over the studio, but not fast enough to get by me.

Such a beauty!  I love these two pictures (esp the one of the left)

Tutu’s are pretty tasty

Such a happy baby

A change of scenery.  I love my new backdrop… LOVE it!

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

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…

Kaelyn’s First Year Portrait – RI Baby Photographer

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!
