Aubrey and Riley at Goddard Park – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on 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!

Such a sweetie.  She wasn’t too into the camera at first, but thankfully she warmed up to me!

Riley is 4 months.  What a handsome guy!!!  I love his flowing baby hair.  He is adorable…

Words can’t describe the cuteness.

Brother and sister love!

Peeking in on her brother’s close up.

Trying to see if there is anything hiding in my camera.

Logan’s Hip Portrait Shoot in Providence, RI – RI Baby Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

I couldn’t have had a better subject to shoot in Providence.  Logan is exactly what you think of when you think of a city girl except she is a toddler.  She is intelligent – She knew so many words and even some letters and numbers.  She is hip – Check the outfit!  She is independent – She was running down the street like she owned the place.  Lots of smiles and great locations made it really hard to pick just a couple for the blog so I just had to post some extra!

Usually gates like this are massive so it was nice to find a toddler sized one.

So happy!  Love those little teeth!

Having a blast in the city…

DiMartino Family Portrait in West Warwick, RI – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

I was contacted a couple of months ago by my old friend, Gina, about doing a family portrait.  It’s not everyday that the family is together.  With siblings in California, New Jersey, and Kentucky it’s rare that they are in the same room together.  I was excited to do it because I’ve known Gina since elementary school and went to school with all of her brothers and sister at some point in my life.

Here is the newest edition to the family!  Lisa and John had this little guy two weeks before the portrait shoot.  Meet Michael!!

The whole crew!

The little guy on the right, Eric, wanted to eat and was not afraid to let everyone know.  Thankfully I got a picture before the tears started.

If you graduated from West Warwick High School in the 90’s you know at least one of these guys!

We lost Eric!

Yup, Eric is all set with this picture stuff.

Finally happy smiling!  We can thank Daddy for that.

Birthday Portraits at the Park – RI Children’s Photographer

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

If you’ve been to my blog before chances are you’ve seen these two little guys.  They are my best customers and two of my favorite kids to take pictures of.  Recently they both celebrated their birthdays.  Emma turned 5 years old and Nicholas is now 3!  What better occasion to take some pictures than a birthday?

Outfit changes are always fun at a portrait shoot.  Emma picked out this dress because it is so fancy – just like she is!

A portrait session with Nicholas would not be complete without his serious close up.

Cousins Beach Mini Shoot – RI Family Portrait Photographer

This family was referred to me by another client of mine.  She warned me that these kids were some of the cutest I would ever see.  She was right!  It also helps when your Moms are on top of things.  Not only were they in perfect beach outfits, but they also brought so many great “props” – an adorable knit stuffed mermaid, star fish, a cute stuffed doggie.  Picture perfect add ons always help!
