Beach Maternity Session | Rhode Island Maternity Photographer

Beach maternity sessions take on all different looks depending on when and where you are doing them in Rhode Island. One of the things I pride myself on with my sessions is being able to customize them to my clients. Now for studio photographers that might mean doing a whole set and props etc. But for me, that means we make the session at the location of your choosing, on a day of your choosing (as long as it works) and in a style of your choosing. When mom and dad mentioned that they weren’t totally sure where to do their maternity session but were both kite surfers, I knew it had to be a beach maternity setting. Especially once they mentioned bringing the dog along. But which kind of beach?? Which worked the best?

We ended up on her suggestion settling on the Pheasant Hill beach in Portsmouth. If you’ve never been there it’s not the easiest place to find since it’s down through a neighborhood in a hidden drive. But once you get there you have gorgeous views of the Mt Hope bridge, the Hog Island Lighthouse and a beautiful rock-filled beach. It was the PERFECT location for them. Her tank dress and converse, his plaid shirt and jeans, it just worked so well against the beach setting. It was relaxed, natural, casual just like their session. We strolled the length of the beach getting the Mt Hope bridge in the background, got some images under a fun pier at one end of the beach, and even got a little different look going up on a walking path. On the beach it was very neutral and rocky, and on the walking path it was bushes and beautiful greens.

Combining all of these things with a gorgeous perfect belly made for a truly unique, truly them session.

North Kingstown Newborn | Rhode Island Newborn Photographer

You may remember this couple from their maternity session earlier on the blog in Wickford Harbor in North Kingstown, and now it’s time to visit their adorable newborn session. Baby Bodhi’s newborn session was delayed a little bit due to Covid in my house. I take it seriously even still today – I don’t want to risk giving sweet little newborn babies any illness at all!! (And with three kids at three schools there are always bugs of some kind floating around so I actually also still mask – I don’t know if I’ll even change that in the future.) But even though we had to wait until he was a few weeks old for his session, it went so very well. That is one of my favorite parts of my newborn photography. I don’t need them to be tiny or under 10 days old. I don’t need them to fit in a teeny basket or prop of some kind. I don’t want to make them look like a standing potato on a blanket (iykyk).

Instead I want them fifteen days old or older. Give me ALL the older babies!! Parents are more relaxed. Feeding is going better. Babies are settling in more. Especially with first time parents, that delay can make a world of difference – everyone is just so much more comfortable. Bodhi and his mom and dad were no exception. They made our newborn session delightfully easy. We did the majority of their session in front of the large window overlooking their backyard and dock in North Kingstown, and some images in their master bedroom. So often clients will say “well our house isn’t xyz.” Listen, if you have a window and you have a bed or a couch, I am good to go and we will get beautiful images!

We did images with mom and with dad separately and then together. I also got some adorable ones of just Bodhi himself. Mom and dad chose to have a mix of classic images and beanbag so I chose a simple blue swaddle that went with the nautical theme of his nursery. Some of my favorites are the two with mom from above – check them out below. Something a little different and yet so familiar and sweet.

Love is Love | In Home Newborn Photographer Massachusetts

Give me all of the snuggly, loving parents. Give me the single parent, the mom and dad, the two moms, the two dads. Big families with tons of siblings, first babies to come home. Love is love is love a million times over and that is what I live to capture for all of my clients. This newborn session was absolutely the perfect example of that. When mom reached out and said she and her wife wanted a newborn session in their home I was so excited. Especially, and I will be honest here, because they said I could share the images afterward. So often my LGBTQ families won’t let me share images – which I totally understand, but makes me sad. These two moms were ADORABLE and so so freaking funny. I remember laughing so much during their session.

Baby Madison was chubby and smily and pretty much perfect. She was a little different in that she was awake for most of the session which was awesome. It’s always an added bonus to get eyes open and sleeping images during a newborn session. It’s not something I normally TRY to get (that old adage about never waking a sleeping baby ) unless baby needs to eat but it’s a nice surprise when it happens. We were able to get such cute interaction shots – check out the nose boop below! We also got some adorable images with the newly promoted big fur sibling as well which was so awesome. I welcome all fur siblings as long as they are well trained – big animals plus tiny babies don’t always work. But this one was ADORABLE.

Towards the end Madison did drift off a little bit so it really ended up being the best of both worlds. <3

Fresh 48 Newborn Session | North Attleboro Photography

If you have been to Sturdy Memorial Hospital to have a baby, chances are that you have seen my photos. I have a lovely display of images all over the walls of the labor and delivery floor. It is one of my favorite things that I have done in all of my years of being a newborn photographer in Rhode Island and Massachusetts!! When dad, who worked at Sturdy, saw my images, he knew they wanted me to come for photos in their home after the baby was born since visitors were not yet allowed in the hospitals. It wasn’t quite a newborn session, but it wasn’t quite a Fresh 48 either. It was a gorgeous mix of the two.

Sweet Naya was just a few days old when I met her at their house. We did all of the images right there in their nursery. It was essentially recreating the hospital room in a FAR more comfortable environment. If I could, I would do so many of these sessions and call them “welcome home” sessions. I could get all of the small brand new details – fingers, toes, wrinkles. All of my favorite parts of the Fresh 48, but with the touches of the traditional newborn. It really was the best of both worlds.

Maternity On the Water in Wickford Harbor | RI Photographer

Ahh maternity sessions. I love love love maternity sessions, especially if I know I will also be photographing the newborn session. Don’t get me wrong – of course I love all my mamas. However, it’s even cooler to know that I will be there for the “after” too.

When mom contacted me to book a maternity and newborn session I was already excited. But then when I got to their house and they mentioned heading over to “the little island” on their boat I was IN. I am not a boat person. Never have been. Where we are in Cumberland it’s about an hour to the water. While it may be true that we are the “ocean state” it’s only ocean on the border. So the opportunity to get on boats doesn’t really happen. In any event they said boat and I said “yessss!”

We crossed the water to this beautiful little empty private island and thankfully I did not die climbing out of the boat. After that we were able to meander around and take advantage of the different sides of the island and all of the beautiful sun. Each side provided a very different look to the images. With this in mind we got both backlit soft and hazy, and direct rich golden images.

Once I had gotten enough images to make us happy, we took back off in the boat and they took me on a tour of Wickford harbor! We sailed (motored?) up and down and eventually set to drift for a bit so I could get some images on the boat itself. After that we headed back to the house where mom changed into a different outfit to end with some stunning sunset sky photos on their backyard dock. It was a gorgeous fun time, to be repeated when I went back in a few weeks for their newborn session. But more on that later 😉
