Newborn Session with Big Brother in RI – RI Family Photography

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I love doing newborn sessions at my clients’ houses. The setting for the photos is the place you brought your baby when it was time to come home from the hospital. Nothing could be better! This little guy is the son of a firefighter. Dad had all his gear out so we could incorporate it into the session and it worked perfectly for the photos! Too bad the newborn stage goes by so fast because this baby could have had a successful career in newborn modeling! He was more than happy to sleep in Daddy’s helmet, on his jacket, and where ever else we put him! Not only were Mom and Dad on hand for the session, but we also had a new proud big brother who got to miss a little bit of school for the photos. Bonus for him!

Family Portrait Session in Newport, RI – RI Family Photography

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

This session was a year in the making. Last year we tried and tried to get to the beach, but with parents as busy as I am and bad weather we couldn’t make it happen! Finally we all had a free day AND it didn’t rain!! Yay! I’ve done cake smashes for two of these little girls and now look at them! I can not believe how big they have gotten!! This family has been letting me take photos of them since I started this little venture. They have sent so many referrals my way. Those are two things that mean the world to me and I can not thank them enough!

How do you repay your child’s teacher for all they do? I honestly can’t begin to figure out how. My son was in Pre-K last year and we were so fortunate to have two of the best people taking care of him while he was there. They snuggled with him at rest time, calmed him down when he got hurt, helped him to be a good friend to his peers and made him love and enjoy going to school. How can I even begin to say thank you for that?! These pictures certainly can’t come close, but it’s the least I can do. Thanks for taking care of my baby, Miss Tracy!

Newport Beach Portrait – RI Portrait Photography

You really can’t beat the beach for photos. The secret is to do it at the right time of day when the sun is all yellow and “glowy”! Ok the sun is always yellow and “glowy” but if you want nice portraits you have to get the timing right. We had it down for this portrait in Newport! Korey is the kind of little girl you envision when one imagines a portrait on the beach. Mom and Dad picked out the perfect dress and even brought a pretty shell for a prop. Let’s not forget to mention the hair! A big shout out to Mom for maintaining that long beautiful hair! I have a daughter and know what it’s like to brush a little girl’s hair… It’s not fun. Not only was Korey’s hair perfect but she also had the cutest starfish barrette in the back. My favorite part of the session was at the end when Korey (and myself) got right in the ocean to take some of the best photos of the day!

Two years ago I met this beautiful family when their second daughter was born. Recently I received an email from Mom saying that they were having a third child. This time it’s was going to be a little boy! Finally Dad has another man in the house! I showed up and found his two sisters dressed to the nines in their adorable dresses. We took some photos outside while Mommy got the little guy all settled. Tony was such a perfect little model! He rocked his little giraffe outfit!

Congrats to this wonderful family!
