Maternity Portrait in Bristol, RI

Posted on August 23, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

What a treat it was to do Stephanie’s maternity session! We picked a gorgeous location, the lighting was amazing and mom and dad to be were adorable. How could I miss? Stephanie brought so many cute things from the baby shower to incorporate into the shoot – a banner with Olivia’s name on it, little shoes she’ll be wearing and a cute bird’s nest favor from the shower. I will be seeing them soon for a newborn session when this little girl decides to make her grand entrance into the world! Can’t wait to meet her!

Family Portrait in Salem, MA – MA Baby Photography

Posted on August 17, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

For this family portrait I drove all the way up to Salem. I hadn’t been to Salem since I was a kid. There were so many historic houses, a beautiful waterfront, and lots of Halloween stores. The Halloween thing really confused me at first then I remembered… It’s Salem, MA! In my defense we did meet early in the morning. I sometimes need help waking up. Thankfully Everett and his parents were up and looking awesome! We were able to get in some smiles and even a couple of different locations before nap time. Everett was just adorable. His smile is a little too much cuteness for me to handle. He did a great job posing when he was all done pointing at everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better subject.

Family of Five Sunflower Portrait in CT

Posted on August 10, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

Five children in one photo? Five kids to make look at the camera all at the same time? Time for the photographer to have a nervous breakdown? Not at all. I have taken pictures of these five kids before and I have to say it’s easier than some families of one! Not only do they listen and look at the camera, but they also take turns carrying my backpak of equipment! Mom messaged me a year ago about doing this portrait session. The weather and crazy schedules tried to stop us, but we managed to get in these photos one Saturday morning. So happy we did!!

Brothers Birthday Portrait in Providence – RI Children Photography

Posted on August 9, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

Just stop with the cuteness, Boys!! I mean really. There were several times in the course of this portrait that I had to stop and reassure Mom and Dad that these might be the cutest photos ever taken. Watching these guys interact with each other was truly an adorable sight. They have birthdays that are pretty close so we are able to do their birthday portraits all in one sitting. This is the third time I’ve taken their photos and it’s been a treat every time. Mom always picks out the best outfits. She didn’t disappoint this time! Those hats are to die for!

Colton’s Six Month Old Portrait Session – RI Baby Photographer

Posted on July 4, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I have been thinking. I think I’m going to officially start limiting my children’s portraits to only families with one 6 month old. It might hurt my business, but there isn’t an easier time to take photos of a baby! They can sit up, but they can’t move yet. Everything is awesome and makes them smile. It’s a piece of cake! Colton was no exception to this rule. He was as pleasant and smiley as a baby could be. Mom and Dad have already scheduled a cake smash for him later in the year. I’m sure he’ll be just as happy, but we shall see if he actually sits still for us!
