Blithewold Gardens Family Portrait – RI Portrait Photography

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of second shooting for Snap! Photography at Jessica and Jenson’s wedding at Blithewold some years ago. I have always remembered their wedding mainly because they were such a pleasure to be around all day! Now here we are back to the place that started their journey as a family, but this time they have a new member! Little baby H crashed the party this time. She was quite the explorer while we taking photos. Thankfully she took a couple of breaks here and there to stop for photos. All and all it was a nice time revisiting old memories while making some new ones as well!

Logan’s Four Year Portrait

Posted on April 17, 2014 by Melissa Lacouture

One of my most photographed kids and best buddy, Logan, is four years old this year! It’s always a treat for me to see Logan and her parents. I would love to just chat with Mom and Dad, but honestly Logan and I are kind of best friends. While Mom and Dad hang back Logan and I walk around, chat, make each other laugh and take pictures. It’s almost like a play date! Recently Logan told her Mom “Only Alissa takes my picture”. Coming for a little kid that is a 5 star review! We started Logan’s portrait at my studio and then walking around the building. Logan’s Dad is an artist who also has a spot in Hope Artiste Village so we even got to take some pics in there. Sorry other parents! You can not have your photo session in Michael’s place amongst the metal, tools and fork lift!

Family Portrait in Roger Williams Park – RI Family Photographer

Posted on November 26, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I love these photos because I love this family! Ada is my kids’ bud. There was a time when all my son said was “Ada hit me” (even though she didn’t). There was also a time when Ada always talking about the time my son, Max, gave her way too aggressive of a hug (which did happen). Mandy is an amazingly talented graphic designer. She does all the design work for my wedding photography business called M.Studios and does amazing letterpress wedding invitations and birth announcments. Check out her web site or etsy shop! I also can’t wait to share the new logo she did for me that has inspired a whole new look for Melissa Lacouture Photography!

Colt State Park Family Portrait – RI Family Photography

Posted on November 19, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of photographing this little lady a couple of times now. Every time she has come to do photos she has brought her little dolly, Sasha. It makes sense that Sasha was included in all the family photos. At this point she is just that – one of the family. It’s nice when people decide to include personal elements like this in the photos session. So we had two parents, two dogs, one toddler and a doll. Somehow it all worked out and we got photos of everyone! It was that crazy Sasha who wouldn’t sit still for most of the photos. Such a diva.

Family Portrait at Colt State Park in Bristol – RI Family Photography

Posted on November 18, 2013 by Melissa Lacouture

I had the pleasure of meeting this family a couple of years ago at one of my mini shoots. These kids were adorable back then and they are even cuter now. I remember loving Mac’s hair at the mini. I was so happy that he was still rockin’ the do. I am a sucker for little boys with longer styled hair. It’s always the cutest. We had a great time taking photos at Colt State Park. Avery was the queen the poses. If her clothes came in my size I would have asked her where she bought them and gone to get the same outfit for myself. Autumn leaves, great light and great people can only equal a successful family portrait session.
