Mini Session with R. | Providence Family Photography

I met R. and his parents for one of my holiday mini sessions at Roger Williams park this past Saturday morning. We got pretty lucky with the one stretch of nice weather in the entire weekend!!!  I am so happy, too, that we didn’t have to reschedule because I had SO much fun.  And with how much little R. moved it’s a good thing it was pretty cool – for a two year old, he is super fast!  We still managed to get some great shots with the help of flowers, candies and, as always, singing songs.  J. it was great to finally meet you after several emails 🙂  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Four Days New | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

As I wrote last week, we lost an extended family member last Tuesday.  My sister’s best friend, Margarita passed away suddenly at the age of only 30 from a one-in-a-million reaction between two medications.  Margarita was the happiest, friendliest, bubbliest, most vivacious person I have ever known in my life.  She was so sweet, kind, thoughtful, loving.  She treated my children as her own niece and nephew and my sister as her own sister and best friend.  The world lost a great, amazing, wonderful person entirely too early.

You may think this is an odd way to begin a newborn post, but I like to believe that things happen for a reason.   As you’ve seen over the past few days, I got to photograph the most precious little four day old boy on Saturday. You may remember mom’s GORGEOUS maternity session from the beach in August.  Little J. made his mom and dad wait, arriving on the very last morning of 42 weeks and a very long and drawn out labor!  But clearly the extra time was worth it because he was just perfect – chubby cheeks, little legs and arms, plenty of hair, all ten fingers and toes, everything just adorably, wonderfully perfect.   I’d also like to believe that he arrived on that day because he was waiting for a very special guardian angel to arrive in heaven to watch over him.

So.   Meet little J.  This is my youngest baby ever – my previous was five days old.  There is something truly special about working with them when they are this new.  As I have said before, my job is possibly the coolest job ever.  I get to spend time with brand new human beings!!   We have no idea what he’ll be like when he grows up or what he’ll like to do.  Right now we just have this perfect, tiny being.  A mix of a wonderful mother and father, the completion of a loving family and the union of two families who have known each other for generations.

Treasure your loved ones and the moments with them.  Take pictures all the time.  Enjoy the little and big things.  A baby is a reminder of all of these things anyways, but sometimes, it’s just a little bit more meaningful.  Thank you, thank you, thank you A. and J. for inviting me into your lives and choosing me to capture these first days for you.  I so look forward to watching him grow!  (But not too quickly ;))

Mom and Dad’s families both owned pineapple farms back in Portugal and someone made this onesie as part of a baby gift for them.  Isn’t that sweet??

Open | Providence Newborn Photography

I might just totally torture mom prolong these sneak peeks all week, I am that in love with this little guy.  🙂  Okay, seriously though, I wanted to put one more up because I got in super late and super tired last night so didn’t get to write the whole post as I initially intended.  Look at this little guy!!

Four day old perfection | Providence Newborn Photography

Just a quick sneak peek of a sneak peek.  This little guy was four days old for his session today.  Sigh.  So perfect and so handsome and…well…everything.  I know mom saw this first shot because, in a rare moment for me, I showed it to her right on the LCD.  But I know she hasn’t seen the second.  😉  A. and J. enjoy this extra sweet sneak.  I’ll be back with the real one in a few days. 😀

What to Wear Thursday | Providence Photography

When people ask about clothes, I’ll often give them my thoughts and then send them to a paint website.  Yup, that’s right.  A paint website.  The reason for this is that most sites (I use behr.com) offer the option to pick a color and then they will give you coordinating color looks.  This is a GREAT way to pick colors for outfits!  If you know one color you like, you can pick others from a swatch and go from there.  So that is what I did this week.  I knew I wanted to step away from the brown 🙂 so I went with one of the hot fall colors – purple.  I didn’t want to do black because it was too dark for what I wanted, so I ended up with grey.  I think of grey and cable knit and I think of soft and fuzzy.  Then it just took scrolling through some swatches until I found what I wanted – that extra little pop of color in there, which ended up being green.  The three colors actually work really well together, even though you don’t think at first glance they would.  They all complement each other very nicely.

So today I have almost all clothes from Boden again.  Love them!  (Dad’s jeans are from Gap though.)  First we have the pop of color on mom’s shoes, along with a nice structured jacket to give her shape and hide flaws in the waist/hip area.  For dad, a shirt that features bolder green stripes with an indigo/purple secondary stripe.  Nice dark jeans and black shoes.  Then for big girl, a funky look.  A dress layered over a striped long sleeve tee (again, you have both the purple and green) with footless grey leggings (pulling grey from the tee) and then I’d finish with ballet flats.  And for baby girl, a nice little jumper with a layered tee and thick purple tights.  For the girl I’d either do simple little mary janes or funky black rain boots.
