Twins at Goddard Park – RI Baby Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

I can imagine that having identical twin babies can sort of make you feel like a celebrity.  When I asked Mom and Dad what it was like to get everyday tasks done like going to the grocery store they told me that the hardest part is being stopped by people who wanted to oooh and aaahhh over the twins.  As a matter of fact we were approached by a lady during our shoot who just couldn’t get over how cute these little ladies were.  I guess it’s sort of a good problem to have.  Who could blame all these strangers for becoming adoring fans when they see such cutie pies?

I’m just thankful I got to take photos of these ladies before they learned to walk or crawl.  That made my job easier.

See they are celebrities.  Time for an outfit change!

DiMartino Family Portrait in West Warwick, RI – RI Family Portrait Photography

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

I was contacted a couple of months ago by my old friend, Gina, about doing a family portrait.  It’s not everyday that the family is together.  With siblings in California, New Jersey, and Kentucky it’s rare that they are in the same room together.  I was excited to do it because I’ve known Gina since elementary school and went to school with all of her brothers and sister at some point in my life.

Here is the newest edition to the family!  Lisa and John had this little guy two weeks before the portrait shoot.  Meet Michael!!

The whole crew!

The little guy on the right, Eric, wanted to eat and was not afraid to let everyone know.  Thankfully I got a picture before the tears started.

If you graduated from West Warwick High School in the 90’s you know at least one of these guys!

We lost Eric!

Yup, Eric is all set with this picture stuff.

Finally happy smiling!  We can thank Daddy for that.

Avery’s First Birthday Cake Smash Part Two – RI Baby Photographer

Posted on by Melissa Lacouture

Part two of Avery’s first year portrait!

The Cake Smash portrait is the new thing to do when your little baby turns a year old.  As a photographer I think it is really fun!  You just don’t know what’s going to happen!  Is the baby going to like it?  Are they going to even know what’s in front of them or worse yet will they care?  Basically you put the cake in place and hope for the best!  At first Avery was more interested in the shredded paper I had put down…

Contemplating this new little pink thing that has appeared… 

Didn’t take her long to figure out what to do with it!

And she is happy she did!

Avery’s big sister, Cady, watched her sister enjoy her cupcake.  She had to be held back a little bit.  Didn’t want to miss all the fun!  Thankfully her Mommy and Daddy brought a second cupcake so Cady could have a treat after Avery’s “smash” was done.
