Newport Beach Family Portrait – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on January 28, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

There is nothing that stresses me out more than a portrait session with these guys. Don’t get me wrong! They aren’t pains. They aren’t demanding. I just love them all so which puts added pressure on me because I want to do the best job ever! Mommy is a dear friend and these girls have become two of the best friends ever to my kids. My daughter, Zoe, and Ava have loved each other since they met in Gymboree class when they were almost two years old. They have done so much for me and my family and this is why when it’s time to do photos I personally want to knock it out of the park. Now that Christmas cards are out and gifts have been given I can finally share this session with you! It may be cold outside but we will be at the beach again in a couple of months! Until then warm up with these pics and remember… summer is almost here (I swear!!).

Logan’s Fourth Year Portrait at the Studio

Posted on December 14, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

Logan’s yearly photos are always ones that I look forward to taking. First off I can’t wait to see what outfit she’ll be wearing. I so look forward to seeing pictures of her on Facebook in all her cool clothes so it’s a treat when I get to see her in person looking all stylish. Another thing I look forward to is just hanging out with Logan, period! She loves when I take her photo so the entire session is easy as pie. I also get to chat with the grown ups she brings with her also known as Mom, Dad and Grandma. I first did Logan’s photos when she was 18 months old. Now she is four and a half!!! I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her and her family a couple of times a year. One of my job perks is the chance to document families and children as they grow. Logan is the perfect example of that. Mom recently did a collage of the photos I’ve taken of her over the years. It truly warmed my heart to see it. She has grown up in front of my camera!

Providence Portrait Session with Liam and Silvie – RI Children Portraits

Posted on November 3, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of doing these little cutie pies’ photos in Providence a couple of weeks back. This is the second year in a row that I had the opportunity to take portraits of them. They have gotten cuter if that’s possible. Liam’s main objective was to take silly pictures while Silvie was just there to look cute. I think we had success on both fronts. On a side note these kids happen to belong to my husband’s boss so I hope I did a good job! Enjoy!

Four Year Old Portrait Session – RI Portrait Photography

Posted on October 21, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

Ryan’s parents have brought him in for many mini sessions but this is the first time I was able to do a real deal portrait session of him. I was excited! Mini sessions can be a blur. I see a lot of kids and not for too much time, but I always remembered Ryan. He is just adorable! I love his long hair and his parents always have him in great clothes. It’s also always stuck in my head that it can take a minute for Ryan to warm up to the camera. That was not the case now that he is four years old! Ryan was chatting with me non stop and just being so darn cute! I got great, great pics of this little guy!

Gabriella’s First Birthday Cake Smash – RI Cake Smash Photography

Posted on April 25, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

I just can’t believe all my babies are getting so big!! Well maybe Gabriella and the other kids I photograph aren’t necessarily my kids. Even though it’s such a treat to be able to see all my little people grow up. When I first met Gabriella she was in her Mommy’s belly when I had the pleasure of doing a maternity shoot with her parents. From there we did a newborn session at my studio. Now a year later here we are doing a first birthday cake smash! Cake-tique provided us with the cake as always. Mom and Dad also brought so many great props that were going to double as birthday party decorations! I couldn’t have been happier! They made the cutest lemonade stand for her. Not only that they brought lemons and lots of fun stuff to dress up my set. Cake Smash success!!
