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

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.

How awesome is it when you go to take a picture of someone and you see them “web slinging” in your direction? I will tell you that I think it’s pretty cool. Robby likes Spiderman and he was not afraid to show it while posing for photos. I’m so happy that Mom and Dad didn’t tell him to stop it. This is who he is at this age so why not capture it in the photos? It also adds some personality to the pictures. When Stella tried to do her own spiderman hand gesture Robby did put the kabosh on that. When she wasn’t teasing her brother she was being the cutest little girl ever, playing shy. Very adorable! I do get jealous of some of my family portraits and make plans to bring my own kids to certain locations. This session definitely qualifies as one of those…

Love the personality in these pictures!

Phillip and William’s Brothers Portrait Session at Roger Williams Park – RI Baby Photography

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Melissa Lacouture

One child is usually easy breezy, but two little ones can be a daunting task. Thankfully Phillip and William were happy to sit for me to get their picture taken. Phillip was actually pretty amused by the silly things I do to keep my subjects interested and sitting still. William was more perplexed as to why I was acting a fool! Either way the out come is what I wanted – attentive little boys. Not always an easy task.
