Rosie’s Portrait Shoot at the Studio – RI Portrait Photographer

Posted on December 4, 2011 by Melissa Lacouture

There is just something about Rosie. I love her. It’s sort of funny because the first time I took pictures of her wasn’t the easiest shoot for me. I pretty much chased her around some gardens for almost two whole hours! She did not want me to take her picture. The photos ended up being some of my favorites. After doing those portraits I have been looking forward to taking Rosie’s pictures again.

Rosie’s Mom loves stars. Sort of like a certain photographer I know. When she saw the set up we had for our holiday mini shoots she wanted Rosie to have her portrait done in front of them. Thankfully she was smart enough to book a whole portrait session instead of a mini. Who knows if Rosie would warm up in 20 minutes? Actually Rosie ended up having a great time getting her pictures done. She didn’t want to leave the studio when it was done!

See what I mean? don’t you just love her?

These pictures kill me!

Perfect girl for this backdrop!!

Hanna’s First Year Portrait – RI Baby Photographer

Posted on November 26, 2011 by Melissa Lacouture

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!

Ada’s Portrait at Roger Williams Park – RI Baby Photography

Posted on November 19, 2011 by Melissa Lacouture

The initial plan for Ada’s portrait was to take a ride up to Lincoln Woods. Ada has been going there with her mom since she was a peanut. She comes from an outdoorsy family that loves to be close to mother nature. When her mom spied this amazing hut during a walk through Roger Williams Park she had a whole new idea for Ada’s photos. Her mom, Mandy, is a super talented artist. Just look up at the top of my web site. See that banner? Mandy designed it. The hut inspired Mandy to add a little something to our photo shoot. She texted me “I’m bringing something for the photos. I went to RISD so bear with me”. I totally trust Mandy and knew whatever she had in mind would be (as she would say) rad. When she showed up with this cool bird mask for Ada that she made that morning I was very excited to start the shoot!

There she is!

Mandy jumped in for some pictures. Unfortunately Ada’s Daddy is camera shy. That’s right, Derrick. I’m calling you out.

Love this one!

What a beautiful day in November!? The weather has been so crazy! I’m not complaining though.

Ada is used to maneuvering through the woods. I think she is better at it than I am. It’s in her blood.

Wearing Mom’s necklace as a headband…

Tickling her face with the grass…

The many expressions and emotions of Ada…

Seriously! What a gorgeous day it was!

She was very excited to show me all the rocks she found.

Such a beautiful little girl.

Baby Sam – RI Baby Photography

Posted on November 7, 2011 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of meeting little Sam and his Mom at their beautiful house last week. Sam is definitely a laid back kind of fellow. He was pretty content to do whatever, lay where ever, and wear whatever. I think he understands the value of cute baby photos and how happy they would make Mommy. Already a Mama’s boy! Nothing wrong with that!

I just love this red sweater one piece!

Beautiful baby + Beautiful floors = Happy photographer

Love this one!

I love these pictures of him in his crib. He is just having a blast with his awesome mobile.

He started cracking up while wear this adorable jester style hat. Very appropriate!

Ready for a nap!

Aubrey and Riley at Goddard Park – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on October 28, 2011 by Melissa Lacouture

I was very excited to meet this family in Goddard Park last week. From reading Helena’s emails I knew I would like her. It turns out she is not only funny but also beautiful with a gorgeous family to boot! Sort of makes my job easy. It was a little chilly out but the whole family were troopers. Aubrey wrapped herself in Riley’s blanket in between shots. Anything to keep warm and happy! She is 2 which means she is the boss!
