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?

Baby Miles in Narragansett, RI – RI Baby Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

This is a much-anticipated blog post for me (and Miles’s mommy)!  Miles’s Daddy has been a friend of mine since the fourth grade.  Needless to say he is one of my oldest friends and I love him dearly.  When he got married I gained another friend in his beautiful wife and now they’ve added a new person to the mix of people I love!  Yeah because it’s all about me!  Haha!  Since the family lives in Seattle I’ve only seen Miles in photos.  I’ve been waiting for an east coast visit so I could not only meet him but take his picture.  He might be the cutest baby ever.  You can’t deny this face.  I drove down to take these pictures with my kids in tow.  I was literally shooting pictures of Miles while my son was jumping on my back.  Thankfully Miles was enjoying the show and full of smiles for not only my nutty kids, but his Mommy and Grandma.  Such a happy little guy!  My little ones are still talking about Miles (but they call him “Baby Daddy” because my hubby’s name is Miles as well).  As I was editing these photos there were so many oooh’s and ahhh’s from the whole family behind me along with some “Hi, Baby Dada!”‘s.

Little teeth coming in!  He was not without the drool.

Little dribble there…

I could not pick between this messy one…

And this one!  Very funny.

Anneliese’s Newborn Shoot with her Big Brother – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

I am so happy to do the job I do.  This is little Anneliese!  I’ve been taking photos of her two year old brother since he was 3 months old.  Now I get to add this little beauty to my list of “models”.  It really does give me so much joy to document these amazing moments for people and to meet such wonderful families!  I know Mommy has her hands full right now with the two little ones.  Michelle, I hope you can sit for a minute and look at these!  Don’t worry!  You will catch up with everything in about two years…  maybe!  Haha!  In the end it’s all worth it.

I love her little red post feeding nose!

A smile!!

Does it get any better!?  Alex was being such a good little boy laying still with his sister.  I think he was so excited to have her lay on him.  Michelle, here is your new Facebook Cover Page Photo!

Alex wants attention!  The headband was working for Anneliese so why not!  Annaeliese doesn’t know what to think.

Time for a nap!  She was up for 10 minutes!  Exhausting…

Big Sister and New Baby Brother Newborn Portrait – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of making a house call to do some photos of this new baby boy, Victor, and his sister, Luciana.  Victor is only a couple of weeks old and Luciana is almost 2.  Since their birthdays are so close we were able to take newborn shots and a 2 year portrait for sis in the same session.  You would think a shoot with one newborn and one toddler would be crazy, but it was pretty laid back.  When you are dealing with so much cuteness it just makes things easier.

Here is Victor and all of his cute little expressions…

Big sis got to go outside for her pictures.  She is adorable!!

Back inside Victor is doing a lot of the same…

It was a misty day and I happened to have a pretty awesome rainbow umbrella.  It is sort of huge, but Luci was still excited to play with it.

someone loves her little brother

I just love these pictures!

She was so gentle with the baby.

Stella’s Maternity and Family Portrait at Harkness State Park, CT

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

I couldn’t have been happier when Stella contacted me about doing a maternity/family portrait for her.  I shot Stella and Shane’s wedding at the Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park in CT.  It is such a beautiful spot and one of my favorite wedding venues.  We decided that it would be the perfect spot for these new updated family pictures. Their daughter, Madison, is going to be 2 years old very soon.  She is just the sweetest thing!  I’m sure her parents had something to do with that.  They are the nicest people you could ever meet.

Three years ago I took a bridal portrait of Stella in this exact same spot.  Now we are onto the next phase in life.  So fun!

They haven’t found out the sex of the baby yet, but we are certain that someone is going to be a big sister!
