Memories | Rhode Island Family Photography

When we moved to Rhode Island three years ago this June, the W. family was the very first shoot that I did.  I had come up two weekends prior to moving but they were my first as-a-resident shoot.  I remember very vividly that at our first shoot, my camera stopped working and i didn’t have my backup and I was *mortified*.  But they rolled with it, we met up again a week or so later and I had such a fun time.  If you’ve followed me for long enough, you might remember their shoot (seen HERE)  If you don’t, (re)meet the W family.  They are getting set to move to a new place in a different part of town and mom wanted to get some quick shots of the family just being a family there – some memories especially for big sister C who is having (understandably) a slightly harder time leaving the place she has known and loved.  Both of the children were home births as well so it’s a bit bittersweet for everyone to be leaving, literally, the home the children were born in.  We spent about an hour on Saturday morning getting some quick images of them all over the house in some favorite spots.  I love these.  And I am SO excited to see the new house and their next chapter!Family photo on a bedImage of mom with her daughtersPortrait of a little girl reading in her roomBeautiful black and white portrait of a little girlLittle girl on a porch swingBlack and white image of sisters sitting on stairs

Simi – 11 Days | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

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

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.On-location maternity photography with sibling.

Sweet Baby S | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

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

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.
