Cake Smash Portrait Session at Studio – RI Baby Photography

Posted on October 22, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

When this cutie pie came to my office she had an entire posse with her. Mom and Dad were there along with Grandma and her Auntie. It’s obvious this little girl is adored by her family. No one wanted to miss the chance to see her dive into her cake for the big finale of our session! She did not disappoint. Once the cake came out it was all buiness. She carefully started taking off frosting, eating it, and then when there was too much on her hand she would basically whip her little fingers around until it was gone. What a mess, but as always it’s worth it for the photos! – Cake by Cake-tique

Twins Cake Smash and First Year Portrait – RI Cake Smash Photographer

Posted on October 17, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

This is my first cake smash session with twins! We had two separate cakes for each birthday baby. After doing some family photos we dove right in to those cakes made as always by Lauren at Cake-tique. Ladies usually go first, but we decided to have little man try the cake smash experience before his sister. Looking back maybe we might have switched it. We thought he was going to make a huge mess, but Brother did not like the cake very much. His sister on the other hand showed him how it was done. She posed. She smiled. She ate cake. Even though he maybe doesn’t have a sweet tooth I still got some great shots of her brother in his little blue tie and diaper cover. I think Mom and Dad should make sure to show every future girlfriend these photos and tell them all about the cake smash torture!!

Family Portrait in West Bridgewater, MA

Posted on July 28, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

This family portrait session brought me up to West Bridgewater, MA. I was not familiar with the area so the family decided on the location. They couldn’t have picked a better spot. It was a gorgeous spot with streams, rock walls, wooden fences and even a covered bridge. What more could a photographer ask for? We had a great time walking around the park and posing for pics. Everyone was so cooperative even the family pup! All and all it was a pleasure.

First Birthday Portrait – RI Baby Photography

Posted on June 27, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

First Birthday’s might be the most special birthdays. Maybe not so much for the birthday girl or boy, but definitely for the parents. Brooklyn was 9 weeks premature. She had to stay at the hospital for over 2 months before she could be home with her family. Mom and Dad wanted these photos taken to not only capture this moment in her life, but to celebrate their healthy baby’s first year! Brooklyn certainly is healthy! She was crawling faster than I could take photos of her laughing the entire time. Hope you had a great birthday, Brooklyn! There will be many, many more where that came from!

Gabriella’s First Birthday Cake Smash – RI Cake Smash Photography

Posted on April 25, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

I just can’t believe all my babies are getting so big!! Well maybe Gabriella and the other kids I photograph aren’t necessarily my kids. Even though it’s such a treat to be able to see all my little people grow up. When I first met Gabriella she was in her Mommy’s belly when I had the pleasure of doing a maternity shoot with her parents. From there we did a newborn session at my studio. Now a year later here we are doing a first birthday cake smash! Cake-tique provided us with the cake as always. Mom and Dad also brought so many great props that were going to double as birthday party decorations! I couldn’t have been happier! They made the cutest lemonade stand for her. Not only that they brought lemons and lots of fun stuff to dress up my set. Cake Smash success!!
