Anneliese’s Newborn Shoot with her Big Brother – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on June 20, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

I am so happy to do the job I do. This is little Anneliese! I’ve been taking photos of her two year old brother since he was 3 months old. Now I get to add this little beauty to my list of “models”. It really does give me so much joy to document these amazing moments for people and to meet such wonderful families! I know Mommy has her hands full right now with the two little ones. Michelle, I hope you can sit for a minute and look at these! Don’t worry! You will catch up with everything in about two years… maybe! Haha! In the end it’s all worth it.

I love her little red post feeding nose!

A smile!!

Does it get any better!? Alex was being such a good little boy laying still with his sister. I think he was so excited to have her lay on him. Michelle, here is your new Facebook Cover Page Photo!

Alex wants attention! The headband was working for Anneliese so why not! Annaeliese doesn’t know what to think.

Time for a nap! She was up for 10 minutes! Exhausting…

Big Sister and New Baby Brother Newborn Portrait – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on May 30, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of making a house call to do some photos of this new baby boy, Victor, and his sister, Luciana. Victor is only a couple of weeks old and Luciana is almost 2. Since their birthdays are so close we were able to take newborn shots and a 2 year portrait for sis in the same session. You would think a shoot with one newborn and one toddler would be crazy, but it was pretty laid back. When you are dealing with so much cuteness it just makes things easier.

Here is Victor and all of his cute little expressions…

Big sis got to go outside for her pictures. She is adorable!!

Back inside Victor is doing a lot of the same…

It was a misty day and I happened to have a pretty awesome rainbow umbrella. It is sort of huge, but Luci was still excited to play with it.

I just love these pictures!

She was so gentle with the baby.

Matthew and Jack’s Newborn and New Brothers Portrait Shoot

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

It’s no secret that I love Matthew. He is two years old and quite the charmer. Look at him! Who wouldn’t love him? Now he has a partner in crime that may rival him in cuteness – A brand new brother named Jack! I was very excited to see the family again and was especially looking forward to meeting the new edition. With Mom and Dad’s help we were able to get some photos of the brothers together. There is something that all kids do that always cracks me up. They will sit there with their new sibling until they are done. And when they are done they just get up even though there is a fragile little baby on their lap. That’s why is very important to have someone actually hold the baby.

Seriously?! He is just so cute!

I am thankful for the high ceilings because this is not the first time this has happened.

Jack’s big debut!

He is so adorable! I love my job because I get my baby fix in without having to have another baby!

Brothers!

2011 Rewind :: Newborns – RI Newborn Photography

Posted on December 27, 2011 by Melissa Lacouture

I have to say looking at all the family portraits that I posted yesterday made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Today’s post is no different. After the family comes together the newborn baby makes it that much stronger. I’ve had the absolute pleasure of documenting the new edition for some families. I love all the stages and ages for different reasons. What I love about doing a newborn shoot is that one moment when for just a split second they look right into my camera lens. Those are always “the one” picture from the portrait session. I also love just being around them. They are only new for a short, short period of time. I love watching them stretch and yawn, but above all I love listening to them breathe. Being new to air and all they sound like they have been smoking for the past 20 years. Maybe not so cute for an adult, but when an 8 pound cutie pie is doing it it’s adorable.

So in this rewind we are checking out some of the highlights from my newborn shoots of 2011. Tomorrow… Lot of babies.

Tristan and Addison’s Portrait Shoot in Pawtucket – RI Family Photography

Posted on December 5, 2011 by Melissa Lacouture

Sometimes after I do a portrait I get a little jealous. I see these great pictures of someone else’s family and I wish it was my family in them! You might also get a little jealous if you continue to look at this blog post. My studio is in an old mill building which means the outside is just as cool as the inside. When I saw Tristan’s sweater I knew Mom and Dad would be down for something a little cooler so we ventured out. Not cooler in temperature because it was like 60 degrees out. I mean cooler in attitude. We really lucked out with the weather, wardrobe choice and a really fun backdrop. Everything came together perfectly.

I’m crazy for this picture…

And this one…

When Mom first emailed me she told me that her husband was in Afghanistan! We couldn’t set a date until she knew exactly when he was coming home. This is a really sweet family and I’m so happy that everyone is safe here at home and able to spend the holidays together. I hope these pictures make the homecoming just that much sweeter.
