12 Days | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

Some people really awe me. Someone who, for example, runs every day up until the day they deliver and then goes through a placental abruption during labor and an emergency c-section. You know, that kind of a person. Yeah, pretty amazing to me!!! Meet 12 day old baby A. – the end result of both of those things. Though the birth wasn’t what anyone puts on their birth plan, look at what an adorable baby came out of it! So so sweet and cuddly. Mom and dad contacted me last week for some newborn shots of their little girl and we got together on Tuesday for our session. Twelve days old and just perfect. (Just beware, however, if you would like to fix your son up with her, they have told me she’s not dating ’til she’s 30 ) And I have to say that obviously mom is awesome, but dad, he’s pretty darned good for a first time daddy – did some fabulous rocking to get her to sleep for us. Either she already has him wrapped around her little finger, or he is just so smitten that he doesn’t mind rocking and staring at his new baby girl. Might just perhaps be a mixture of both.

I have said it before, but I just love seeing new life. I love my job. Congratulations P. family, enjoy her!!

What to Wear Wednesday | Rhode Island Photography

I am a weeeee bit obsessed with yellow right at the moment. Not really sure why as I don’t even know that it’s that great of a color on me. But I just got a yellow plaid raincoat, I have my eye on some yellow wellies to go with it and I am soon going to be getting the marigold Jo Tote as a fun carry around camera bag for when I want to look pretty – not like a photographer. But yellow, I just absolutely am in love with right now. And when it’s combined with gray and then you throw in a hint of maroon or eggplant??? HEAVEN for my eyes. So you can imagine my delight when I found a dress on Tea Collection’s website that was not only really freaking cool but used those colors. Be still my not-so-fashionable-and-don’t-ever-buy-anything-that’s-not-on-sale-heart. So then I had to base a What to Wear all around the dress. Which is SO easy to do because you have so much play with colors!! When you start with one piece, you can pick and choose from there complimentary colors based off of that. If it only has two colors, pick a third one that pops with it. If, like this dress, you have three colors, then use them all on different family members.

So family members one at a time:

Mom – our favorite Boden USA model. Pulled the grey and yellow from the daughter’s dress. Cardigans and layering are hot right now so use it! Plus a belt shows off a waist and gives a visual separation / indent in the photos. Boots are Piperlime and meant in this outfit to go over the jeans.

Dad – Gap for the sweater. I LOVED that it echoed the collar of the daughter’s dress and it is a bit more stylish (read: metro) with the piecing of the sleeves and the zip on the turtleneck. Jeans are Levis, nice dark wash and shoes are again Piperlime.

Daughter – Dress and pointelle leggings from Daily Tea. Love them. Shoes also piperlime. Not crazy about the gold but it was as close as I could find to what I wanted – that pop of yellow on her feet.

Son – Shirt from Gap jeans from Gymboree. Shoes from piperlime – kept them a sportier style but still nice showing from under jeans so he would be comfortable – key with a kids! There is also a FABULOUS “grunt jacket” at gap in a dark charcoal military style for boys. LOVE.

Now to just figure out how to get that dress for Layne without my husband knowing. Because she kinda has a lot of clothes. But I have photos in mind! PHOTOS!

Like like | Rhode Island Family Photography

Remember when you were in middle school and you would get asked if you “Liked Johnny” or if you “LIKED liked Johnny? There are some clients I just adore. I will admit it. I have my favorites. I do. (And I think that anyone who says they don’t is lying.) That doesn’t mean I like my other clients less at all, I just have…people I LIKE like. The C family is one of those families. One of my first clients here in RI, I met them over a year ago to do family pictures of their little girls. You might remember them…

March 2009

And September of 2009

They must have like liked me as well because on Sunday we met up for some family pictures once more. It was awesome to see how the girls have grown and have gotten even more beautiful. I actually did not recognize them at first when I saw them walking in the parking lot at Borderland State Park because I thought that there was no way they were that big – but they were!! Sweet little S. turned 2 the day of our Session and A. is a totally adorable firecracker of a five year old. So many times during this shoot and in looking at the photos after I kept thinking “this picture is TOTALLY five.” Or “this is SO what a two year old is.” It’s just those ages. Those awesome, fun, adorable ages. One on the verge of being a supermodel posing and one not quite ready to let go but so wanting to be like her big sister. We had fun traipsing all over Borderland – even hitting some areas I had never made it to!

Mom and dad it was so great to see you guys again, enjoy the sneak peek!! And I TOTALLY blame you (nicely) for our having tacos for dinner that night!
