Newport Beach Portrait – RI Portrait Photography

Posted on August 23, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

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!

Newborn Portrait Session – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on April 29, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

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!

Cake Smash with Kellen – RI Cake Smash Portrait

Posted on March 6, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

Another one of my favorite families here! I’ve taken some of my best photos of these boys. They are just so cute and lovable together. It really makes my job easy. When I first met this family they only had two little guys. The youngest brother, Kellen, turned a year old this past month. He had a winter themed birthday party so Mom had great decorations that we reused for the cake smash. Win! As always our adorable cake was provided by Lauren at Cake-tique!

Newborn Session – RI Family Photographer

Posted on February 21, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

There is nothing that means more to me than a loyal client and you can’t get more loyal than this family. Think of a milestone in any family and I’ve been there to capture it for these guys. Engagement, Marriage, Pregnancy, First Baby, Holidays, Family Portraits, First Birthday… Yup I’ve done all those sessions for them. They’ve stuck with me as their family photographer. I feel the utmost gratitude to them for this. It is truly an honor. Yesterday I was called in again to take photos of their newest baby, Evie! When Mommy texted me a couple of months ago saying that she was getting her girl I was beyond excited!! I knew there were high hopes for a baby girl this time and that dream came true! Big brother, Caleb, has to share the spotlight now. He has gotten a pretty big spotlight thus far so there is enough to go around. This is a wonderful family with so much love! A big congrats to Mike and Meredith!!!

Newport Beach Family Portrait – RI Family Portrait Photography

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!!).
