Bonnet Shores Beach Portrait in Narragansett, RI – RI Family Photograher

Posted on January 6, 2025 by Melissa Lacouture

Fall at Bonnet Shores in Narragansett, RI is truly something special! People always think of summer for beach sessions but don’t sleep on autumn by the water! The crisp ocean breeze, the golden hues of the dunes, and the soft sunlight create a perfect backdrop for capturing beautiful moments. I also love photographing a family in a place they love! Bonnet Shores is near and dear to this family. It was their first session together and I was honored to be the one who was able to capture these moments during their first year as a family of three!

Brothers Portrait at the Studio – RI Family Photographer

Posted on February 2, 2024 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of photographing three adorable brothers. I first met this family when there was only one baby! The youngest of the trio just celebrated his first birthday. This portrait session was filled with laughter and playful antics as you can see in the pictures! It’s these kinds of moments captured that make my job as a photographer so rewarding. Seeing families evolve and capturing their bonds is a privilege that goes beyond just taking pictures. As always thanks for letting me be a part of the journey!

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 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

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

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?
