Cake Smash at the Studio – RI Cake Smash Photography

Posted on April 24, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of meeting this family yesterday for a double birthday portrait! This brother and sister have birthdays in the same month. Big sis is turning four and it’s the big first birthday for the baby! First birthdays mean one thing around here… A cake smash! As always the beautiful cake was provided by Cake-tique. What would I do without them? Today just also happens to be Mommy’s birthday so I thought I would post this as a bday surprise! Happy Birthdays all around!

Matthew’s Second Year Portrait – RI Portrait Photography

Posted on February 10, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I met Matthew and his family last year when they came in to do a cake smash session for his first birthday. Matthew was just a little peanut! Fast forward one year and here we are for his second birthday portrait! We did not have a cake this time. Just one lovable little toddler! Matthew has gained some agility and speed since our last session. This boy was all over the place! Thankfully we took some breaks in his explorations so we could get some cute pics of him!

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!
