Little Sis Cake Smash with Big Brother – RI Family Photography

Posted on September 11, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I have done big Bro’s photos plenty of times, but now he has a little siter and she is taking over! Mom came prepared with tons of great outfits and accessories. We took tons of photos until finally we had to bribe everyone with cake to squeeze in a couple of more. When the cake came out this little lady did the cutest thing ever. She started doing the baby sign for “Please”. So adorable!! I will say one thing before I wrap this up… Jaime, you make some beautiful kids!!

Sophie’s First Birthday Cake Smash Portrait in Roger Williams Park

Posted on September 2, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

Lots of babies do cake smash portrait sessions, but Sophie had an extra special one. All of her grandparents were in town so her Moms included them in the session. They got to pose for photos and witness the messy finale first hand! Thankfully Sophie was pretty careful with her cake so I was able to get lots of great photos of her. As always Lauren from Cake-tique made us the big cupcake. Because Sophie was pretty neat about her smashing the cake was in good enough condition to bring home. It was a win, win!

Cake Smash at Colt State Park in Bristol, RI

Posted on August 28, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of meeting this family almost a year ago when little Julia could hardly sit up. Thankfully she was able to sit for photos with the help of big brother and sister. Now here we are celebrating her first birthday with a cake smash portrait session! Time sure does fly. Instead of helping her sit up her big brother and sister were there help her balance on the uneven ground at the park. Of course they also got in some photos as well. Julia gave us some many smiles that it definitely made my job easy. She is a happy, happy baby… I mean toddler!!

Maternity Portrait in Bristol, RI

Posted on August 23, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

What a treat it was to do Stephanie’s maternity session! We picked a gorgeous location, the lighting was amazing and mom and dad to be were adorable. How could I miss? Stephanie brought so many cute things from the baby shower to incorporate into the shoot – a banner with Olivia’s name on it, little shoes she’ll be wearing and a cute bird’s nest favor from the shower. I will be seeing them soon for a newborn session when this little girl decides to make her grand entrance into the world! Can’t wait to meet her!

Family Portrait in Salem, MA – MA Baby Photography

Posted on August 17, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

For this family portrait I drove all the way up to Salem. I hadn’t been to Salem since I was a kid. There were so many historic houses, a beautiful waterfront, and lots of Halloween stores. The Halloween thing really confused me at first then I remembered… It’s Salem, MA! In my defense we did meet early in the morning. I sometimes need help waking up. Thankfully Everett and his parents were up and looking awesome! We were able to get in some smiles and even a couple of different locations before nap time. Everett was just adorable. His smile is a little too much cuteness for me to handle. He did a great job posing when he was all done pointing at everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better subject.
