Baby’s First Year Portrait and Cake Smash – RI Baby Photographer

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

I’ve been doing photos of this little lady’s two older sisters for a while now.  I can’t believe it’s now her turn for her very own cake smash!  A year goes by so, so quick!  We planned to go with the color purple.  I was blown away when mom came in with the most amazing accessories and outfits every!  I mean a baby fascinator?!  We can thank Kayleigh’s Klippies for all the beautiful stuff our fashionable subject is wearing.  Check out her stuff on etsy or at the fabulous Bellani Maternity.  As alway the smash cake was provided by Cake-tique.  Someone must have heard the words “Cake Smash” and didn’t want to disappoint.  Within 10 seconds the cake was on the floor!  You never know what’s going to happen at these sessions!

Avery’s Two Year Rainbow Portrait – RI Children Photographer

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

When Avery’s Mom contacted me to do her second year portrait I was very excited! I had the pleasure of taking her first year portrait which involved an fun cake smash. I also was there to take the photos at her first birthday party. This year she is having an arts and crafts/rainbow party at the fabulous Bellani Maternity.  We decided to tie in the theme to her photo session.  Mom brought some great props including some fun chalkboard signs all about Avery.  Love them!!

Vanessa’s First Year Portrait with Big Sis Ava

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

Some girls need a little more glitz than others. Ava and Vanessa certainly fall into this category! These girls were born with a glittery, blinged out spoon in their mouth. When I purchased this backdrop these girls were actually the first people that I thought of. Mom certainly approved and the photo session was booked! Someone had a first birthday coming up so the timing was perfect. As always Lauren from Cake-tique did an amazing job with our cupcake for the smash. Ava was a little jealous that her sister got to eat/destroy all that delicousness. Don’t worry. She did get a taste! (and ps she actually doesn’t even like cake!)

Fall Family Portrait in Roger Williams Park – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

The fall is a great time of year for photos. I guess that’s stating the obvious. Even though I’ve done portraits in the fall many times every year I’m so inspired once I get out there and start snapping. It also helps when you have such a good looking family! These boys are beyond handsome! I met Eli when he was the one and only baby. Now he is a big brother! Love watching families grow and the babies grow up. One of the best parts of my job!

Family Portrait in Providence, RI – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

The fall is such a great time for family photos! This family opted on going to Prospect Park in Providence. This is where Mom and Dad got engaged so it’s perfect! We got to take a mix of photos in the park and some in front of the old houses in the neighborhood. These guys are actually old classmates of mine so getting to see them is always a bonus for me. Their youngest son, Carter, is sort of a maniac. I can say that because my son is exactly the same! I still say we should put them in a room together and see what happens!  Thankfully we got Carter to take a break from his running and throwing leaves (my idea!  Oops!) to snap a couple of pictures.
