Cake Smash Portrait Session – RI Cake Smash Photography

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

It seemed like this cake smash was never going to happen but thankfully we were able to do it! Mom warned me that Mackenzie was a fast one! She was right! Thankfully we were able to distract her long to get some great photos! These guys picked some of great colors for their outfits and the cake smash. I love coral and teal together! Great colors, super cute clothes, headpieces and an adorable little baby! What more could a photographer ask for?

Providence Portrait Session – RI Portrait Photography

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Melissa Lacouture

I met this family a year ago in Bristol for a family portrait session. Last year baby brother was just a little peanut who didn’t like to stand on grass. Now I could hardly catch him! We walked around the east side of Providence taking advantage of all the pretty old houses and springtime blossoms. This seemed like more of a playdate for the kids than a portrait session. They ran around, did so much jumping and made friends with a neighborhood cat! Thank goodness for snacks! It was the only way they would take a break and sit! When in doubt bust out the goldfish!

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!

Coggeshall Farm Family Portrait in Bristol – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on November 6, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

Fall is one of the best times of the year for me because I get to see so many of my favorite clients. Finley and her family are definitely on that list! This is our third year in a row taking photos at Coggeshall Farm in Bristol, RI. Although Finley has changed so much in that time some things have not. Every year Finley brings her favorite doll. This year Sasha was replaced by her Cabbage Patch Kid, Claudine. Sorry, Sasha! Finley also brings some other friends – her puppies! That means one toddler, one doll and two dogs plus Mommy and Daddy. Thankfully Mom, Dad and Claudine will happily sit and smile for photos while I try to get everyone else to look at the camera! All in a day’s work!

Providence Portrait Session with Liam and Silvie – RI Children Portraits

Posted on November 3, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of doing these little cutie pies’ photos in Providence a couple of weeks back. This is the second year in a row that I had the opportunity to take portraits of them. They have gotten cuter if that’s possible. Liam’s main objective was to take silly pictures while Silvie was just there to look cute. I think we had success on both fronts. On a side note these kids happen to belong to my husband’s boss so I hope I did a good job! Enjoy!
