Wild One Cake Smash Portrait

Posted on February 10, 2019 by Melissa Lacouture

I absolutely love doing first year portraits! Babies grow and change so much in that first year. I think people forget what a big milestone it is for parents too. It’s the end of the first year you’ve had with your new baby! It’s year of learning and growing for you both. It’s also most likely the first and last time in your child’s life that someone will set an adorable cake in front of them and say “Tear it apart!”. Side note, most babies don’t smash the cake. This little guy didn’t despite his wild one theme! He was actually too busy trying to get into everything else at the studio BUT the cake! Regardless of his speed we got the CUTEST photos of him! Thank you, Bake.Eat.Love, for the amazing cake!

Newborn Session at the Studio

Posted on November 6, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I just love newborn sessions! The average person doesn’t get to be up close and personal with a brand new baby as much as I do. It really is a job perk! Newborns are just so precious and so tiny! I love being able to hold them, smell them, inspect their little hands fingers and toes. This little guy was beyond adorable! His parents brought him so many cute hats! I just love the family pics from this session. Love!!

Newborn Session with Big Brother in RI – RI Family Photography

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I love doing newborn sessions at my clients’ houses. The setting for the photos is the place you brought your baby when it was time to come home from the hospital. Nothing could be better! This little guy is the son of a firefighter. Dad had all his gear out so we could incorporate it into the session and it worked perfectly for the photos! Too bad the newborn stage goes by so fast because this baby could have had a successful career in newborn modeling! He was more than happy to sleep in Daddy’s helmet, on his jacket, and where ever else we put him! Not only were Mom and Dad on hand for the session, but we also had a new proud big brother who got to miss a little bit of school for the photos. Bonus for him!

Cake Smash Portrait Session – RI Cake Smash Photography

It seemed like this cake smash was never going to happen but thankfully we were able to do it! Mom warned me that Mackenzie was a fast one! She was right! Thankfully we were able to distract her long to get some great photos! These guys picked some of great colors for their outfits and the cake smash. I love coral and teal together! Great colors, super cute clothes, headpieces and an adorable little baby! What more could a photographer ask for?

Two Year Portrait at the Studio – RI Baby Photography

This little guy is so cute! I mean really just so so cute! I did his cake smash session last year when he turned a year old. He stood up for the first time right in front of my camera! Now here he is a year later, running all over the place, showing me his train collection. It never ceases to amaze me how much can change in just one year. Another thing that never changes is how truly honored that people let me capture the growth of their little ones year after year.
