Calvin’s 6 Month Portrait Session – RI Baby Photography

Posted on March 5, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

It is such an honor to be able to document these important moments for families. Especially one as nice as this! First I shot the maternity session, then it was Calvin’s newborn photos. Now here we are six months later. What a difference a couple months make in the first year of life! Calvin might be the happiest 6 month old ever. He was all smiles the session. Mommy and Daddy knew had all the best tricks to get him to smile. The guaranteed winner every time was a song from his Itsy Bitsy Yoga Class at Bellani Maternity taught by my friend, Amanda (hello, Amanda!).

Love those blue eyes!

Avery’s Two Year Rainbow Portrait – RI Children Photographer

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

When Avery’s Mom contacted me to do her second year portrait I was very excited! I had the pleasure of taking her first year portrait which involved an fun cake smash. I also was there to take the photos at her first birthday party. This year she is having an arts and crafts/rainbow party at the fabulous Bellani Maternity. We decided to tie in the theme to her photo session. Mom brought some great props including some fun chalkboard signs all about Avery. Love them!!

Sophia’s First Birthday Cake Smash

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

It was my pleasure to be able to take little Sophia’s first year portraits. When I asked her parents if she was walking yet I was excited to hear that she wasn’t. For selfish reasons of course! I thought she would sit and relax while I took her photos. I think I must have forgotten what a one year old is like! Walking or no walking Sophia was all of over the place. I still managed to get tons of good shots. Her parents brought quite a wardrobe! I had so much fun taking her photos in them! Love the red and white one! As always our awesome smash cake was made by Cake-tique!

Fall Family Portrait in Roger Williams Park – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on October 29, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

The fall is a great time of year for photos. I guess that’s stating the obvious. Even though I’ve done portraits in the fall many times every year I’m so inspired once I get out there and start snapping. It also helps when you have such a good looking family! These boys are beyond handsome! I met Eli when he was the one and only baby. Now he is a big brother! Love watching families grow and the babies grow up. One of the best parts of my job!

Family Portrait in Providence, RI – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on October 28, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

The fall is such a great time for family photos! This family opted on going to Prospect Park in Providence. This is where Mom and Dad got engaged so it’s perfect! We got to take a mix of photos in the park and some in front of the old houses in the neighborhood. These guys are actually old classmates of mine so getting to see them is always a bonus for me. Their youngest son, Carter, is sort of a maniac. I can say that because my son is exactly the same! I still say we should put them in a room together and see what happens! Thankfully we got Carter to take a break from his running and throwing leaves (my idea! Oops!) to snap a couple of pictures.
