Simi – 11 Days | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

Fri, 04 May 2012 15:27:45 +0000

Where to start on this sneak peek?? First, I’ll tell you – you’re going to be seeing a lot of this beautiful family in the next few months. Newborn now, a family session this summer and then their wedding in September. So get used to them. ;) A&M first found me when I did a newborn session for A’s sister back in January of 2011. They became followers of my work and eventually contacted me to shoot their newborn in May and their wedding this fall on the Cape. From the first email, I knew that I had found a really cool couple – or rather, they had found me. I went out this past week when their daughter, Simi, was just 11 days old for their newborn session. It was hours full of laughter and smiles and fun. We had the bonus of one grandma visiting who got lots of extra snuggles in if Simi needed soothing AND got to do a few pictures with her daughter and granddaughter – how special!! (Oh *and* we had two gorgeous dogs as well!) Simi was an amazing sleeper and A&M are great with her already. She was just a perfect, beautiful baby who let me do pretty much whatever I wanted — I even got to use some new things I picked up. I was able to get SO many different shots during this session, I am thrilled! Hopefully they will be too.

It was so great to finally meet you guys!! Thank you for welcoming me into your home and into your lives over these next few months. :)

Beautiful Friend | Rhode Island Maternity Photography

Thu, 03 May 2012 14:22:44 +0000

When I lived and worked in Philadelphia, I was lucky enough to meet and become very good friends with Bernadette of Bernadette Uzcategui Photography. We did trades on photos and she was one of the people I could swap stories with that understood where I was coming from. We had many discussions over cookies and coffee and drinks over the years! If you’ve followed my blog for a while you’ve definitely seen her with her adorable little family on here a few times. I miss her dearly now that we are in RI. But this past weekend when I was in Philly, we reconnected for dinner. She and her husband are now expecting baby number two, a little girl, in a little over a month and she looks absolutely adorable!! When we were at dinner we discussed meeting the next morning for some maternity photos before I left town. In driving around the area near my hotel I had discovered this beautiful park with fields and a few neat little features. So early the next morning she and her family picked me up and off we went. It was a quick shoot, probably only 30-45 minutes but it was perfect. Shooting for a fellow photographer is nerve wracking. But shooting for a friend who is a photographer is amazing because I know I can do whatever I’d like and have total creative control. And she gets what I am trying to do. :) She is such a beautiful person inside and out and there is so much love in this family…I can only hope that it shines through here in this quick group of photos.

You may recall I went down to Philly for a maternity session and baby shower back in December (you can see those photos here). This past weekend, it was time to go back down for the newborn. Baby S was simply perfect and her family, beautiful. That is about what it boils down to. There are many more things I could say but I know mom and dad are super excited to see these so here are a few :)

Introducing the Little Ro Session | Rhode Island Photography

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:48:55 +0000

Are you a returning client who has wanted to do some new photos but not wanted a full session? Maybe you just want to document some quick moments in your lives – that amazing 6-12 month happy baby period, or those last moments as a family of three before you have a baby, or maybe some quick shots for Father’s Day or a birthday? Or even, as we get closer, shots for holiday cards for those super planners of you? If so, yesterday through my newsletter and on my Facebook page, I introduced the perfect session for you.

Meet the “Little Ro Session” (yes, I played on Little Rhody, I am clever like that ). The Little Ro is perfect for those “in-between” moments in your lives. A mini session that includes five files with the option to add on the rest. And the best part? Huge savings on digital file pricing with this session. There are restrictions on this session (including minimum age and session location) so please take note of those. It is only open to returning clients and in a very limited format (12 slots, three already gone) so I would advise not waiting if you are interested in booking!

If you would like to book a spot, email me! September 16 is already completely booked as is one spot on June 17th.

Franklin | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

Sat, 14 Apr 2012 17:49:34 +0000

“We love his hair! Here’s a brush for you to use to make it all spiky and fun!” And that was the moment I knew I would love them. Actually, that’s kind of a lie. I knew I would love them the moment I got the first very excited, very enthusiastic email. Generally you can tell a lot from the tone of an email. And I could tell right from the first contact that Franklin and his moms were very excited for photos. (Okay, probably not Franklin since he was only 11 days old but you get my meaning.) So after discussing a few different dates since their little guy was already here, I packed up and headed up into Massachusetts for his newborn session this past Wednesday. He was an absolute doll to photograph weighing in just under ten pounds with awesome hair (two babies in a row!) and a great sleeper. Even though both A & M said they wanted it to be more about the baby than them, they did jump in a few photos with their little guy. AND as a result I got what is, to date, one of my top three favorite photos EVER – though I am not sure they even knew I was shooting. And that is what makes it so good – that raw, honest emotion and tenderness. ::melt:: So, meet Franklin!

A&M you already know how I feel about you guys so I’ll just say again, enjoy him and enjoy this time

Waiting for Lucey | Rhode Island Maternity Photography

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:37:26 +0000

I met this beautiful mama-to-be on Saturday evening for her maternity shoot. She had picked a location I had never been to before – Purgatory Chasm up in Sutton, MA. It was GORGEOUS! Apparently plenty of other people have heard of it as it was packed with visitors but she did great, hiking up and down rocks and waiting people out. I was quite impressed. I don’t think at 35 weeks pregnant I wanted to be anywhere near boulders. Or hiking. Or walking. I can’t wait to meet their little girl in a few weeks!!!

Hadley | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:00:36 +0000

After a few delays due to strep throat running rampant through the family, I finally got out to meet this sweet fifteen day old baby girl on Saturday morning. If her family looks familiar it is because I did a regular family session for them back in the fall when mom was just barely pregnant. And now they are four. :) Hadley was absolutely beautiful and one of my squishier newborns at ten pounds AND she had a full head of hair!! ::love:: I love all of my newborns at all sizes but something about the bigger ones just melts my heart. Big sister did great, you can tell she loves having a real live baby to play with in the house – and mom and dad were so loving with the two of them. Of course dad has quite the work cut out for him down the road being outnumbered three to one with two gorgeous daughters! (I should give him my dad’s phone number since it was the same in my house!)

S. family it was great to see you again and see how you have grown into this gorgeous little family of four.

Mingling Moms | Rhode Island Photography

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 15:55:22 +0000

Wow. It’s been over a month since I blogged. Woooow. A little down time for me to take care of some issues including some serious pain in my shoulders (kinda difficult to have when you are a photographer) and then some more down time while strep throat made it’s way through our entire family. But I am BACK today. And all week. After this week, eh, we’ll see. ;)

Two weeks ago, before strep came to visit, I had the delight of photographing a special event put together by Rhody Mamas, Bellani Maternity and Kayleigh’s Klippies called Mingling Moms. The idea? To get a bunch of RI moms and mommies-to-be together for an evening of socializing, shopping and a few other good things. It was held at Bellani Maternity down in Warwick so I got all dolled up and headed down for the evening. There were adorable hair clips, wine, makeovers, giveaways – a fabulous Sunday evening all the way around. I know that Jen and Audrey are planning some more events down the road so if you are a Rhode Island mom, you’ll definitely want to go follow their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/rhodymamas) for more info!

This gorgeous girl and her mama met me for some photos this past week downtown. Little O. was just so stinking cute. I seriously want to go buy some outfits I’ve had my eye on and take her around the city to model for me. Is she not one of the most gorgeous little girls you’ve ever seen?? And she had this really special bond with her mommy that just absolutely shines in the photos; I so loved watching the two of them interact. We had fun dancing to Lady Gaga and making wonderful fools of ourselves right in the middle of downtown. ;) But it was all worth it!

It was SO great to meet you guys. Enjoy each other – these days will go by SO quickly!! :)

Baby Sophie decided to arrive a few weeks early, and only a very few short days after we did her mommy’s maternity session! Nick of time I went out this past Tuesday for her newborn session and she was absolutely adorable! Although we had a few little challenges to work around I was able to get some beautiful photos of her!! We even got her pretty nursery in there as well as a kiss from big sister, ::love::

Enjoy her, M family!! You have two gorgeous little girls!
