Brothers | Rhode Island Photography

When mom first contacted me about doing this session I’ll admit I was excited.  Ten and eight year old brothers.  I do some older kids, but not too many; the bread and butter of my business are the newborns and the little ones.  But ten and eight?  Whole new world for me!  I am not even sure what ten and eight years old IS yet – my son just turned 6!  All I know so far is Diego, legos, Epic Mickey and Penguins of Madagascar.  Okay so *maybe* I was worried a teeny bit…  See — that communication and relationship between a photographer and their subject is really key.  If they don’t like you, it is just not going to work!

Thankfully, these two boys and their mom made it beyond easy for me!!  We met on the campus of Moses Brown where both boys attend school.  Turns out there is this absolutely gorgeous college-like campus setting right on the East Side of Providence.  (I admit, I had no idea!)  But being on their home turf, they were definitely a little more relaxed (until they saw someone they knew! ;) ), plus they knew some cool spots – always helpful!  Although it was definitely different not having to sing Elmo’s World or quack like a duck, they were truly delightful.  They were goofy and adorable and serious – all things to look forward to when my own boy reaches that age.  :)  SO without further ado since I know mom is really excited to see these, meet the K brothers.

It was so great spending the afternoon with you guys, I’ll be in touch soon!!

Lovely | Rhode Island Family Photography

My last session last week found me catching up with a family I just adore.  I first met them last year when I did a crazy back-to-back-to-back session day for them and two other families.  Loved these guys!!  The kids were just too cute and in 10 months, they haven’t changed a bit!  Except gotten bigger.  Much, much bigger.  We kept it really simple – around their house and yard.  So often we (families and I) try to do fun, different, cool locations.  And sometimes the house is really the best.  The kids are comfortable and happy and mom and dad are more relaxed.  We had a great time being super silly – including me sporting a sparkly pink Aurora tiara for a good portion of the shoot.  ;)  Grandma was in town visiting so we even included her in some shots – three gorgeous generations!!  Enjoy P family – it was so great seeing you again!!

And just because I literally gasped when I saw it – check out dad’s AMAZING wine cellar (which I very happily took pictures of for him)!!!  I could live quite happily curled up in one of those boxes!

Mine on Monday | Rhode Island Children’s Photography

It had been a long and busy weekend – football game into the early morning on Friday two hours away, family visit, a birthday party and a baptism (thank goodness no sessions!).  Driving home from Fall River at 5:45 I looked at the sky – the beautiful, sunlit sky and asked my son if he wanted to go do his six year old photo shoot at “our field” which we discovered a few weeks ago.  He said sure, so when we got home we changed in record time, he put on his new red puffer vest and we went out to our field.  20 minutes of shooting was what I got.  I could have done more (and so could he!) but it was getting late.

These are perhaps my favorite photos of him ever.  Not only because the light was gorgeous, the location was everything I had imagined and my subject was one piece of my heart.  Not only because I was truly shooting for myself and no one else.  But because in 20 minutes I captured over 40 images (edited, much more were shot!) of my boy as he is.  His total and true personality.  I got the serious, the giggles, the jumping, the running, everything.  I got the 6-going-on-30 side of him in his serious face as well as the 6-going-on-3 side of him when he told me to take a picture of his bum as he rolled around.

My first baby is six years old.  Six very big, loud, excitable, wonderful years.  He’ll be passing me soon in height (okay, that’s a slight exaggeration, he’s only 4ft tall and I’m 5’3″ but he’ll get there soon enough).  He eats enough that the teenage years’ grocery bills are scaring me already.  He loves his legos and is really getting into dinosaurs and loves all things Cars 2, though we’ve yet to see the movie.  He started kindergarten (he missed the cutoff by four days last year).  My baby is riding a bus and going away to school.   He has to shop in the 4-7x boys section now.  The “t” clothes are gone.   He inhales books, zipping through them in mere hours – right now he is obsessed with Hardy Boys and Geronimo Stilton.  He talks all of the time and is the most amazing big brother I have ever seen.  He lives and loves so passionately and so fully it terrifies me the idea of releasing him into the world in case anyone would ever hurt or disappoint him.

He is my first baby and my growing-way-too-quickly big boy.

He is my one giant third of my heart.

Evolution of a laugh…

Look at the clouds, mommy…

Let’s run again, mommy.  I’ll race you…

Make some faces for me…

Oh Captain, my Captain

My boy.  My love.  My heart.
