Newborn Baby Boy | East Side of Providence Newborn Photos

Being a newborn photographer, I am often meeting new couples and families. By and large unless it is a second or third baby the families hiring me are coming to me for the first time. For that reason I offer a pre-session consultation with families. Obviously, having someone you’ve never met come into your home after one of the biggest events of your life with your brand new baby can be a bit nerve wracking!

When I first met mom for their session consult it was as if we had been friends for years by the end. She gave me a quick tour of the house so I could plan out where we would do images. After that, we sat and chatted for quite a while about being pregnant, giving birth, some tips for after, and more. I always joke that my degree in psychology comes in far handier than a degree in photography ever would have. Coupled with having done the pregnancy and birth thing three times over and, well, you’re getting so much more than just a newborn photographer.

But with that consult, the goal is to make parents more comfortable. That way when I come back in a few weeks, it’s not a complete stranger walking through the door. And this time was absolutely that. Walking back in and meeting dad and seeing mom again was an instant and easy connection. I don’t think I have laughed as much as I did during their session together. I am fortunate to work with so many awesome couples. Maybe it is my website or how I communicate with them before they book – I don’t know what it is but it works. They were so relaxed and goofy and just happy. And baby Luca was perfection.

We did images in both their nursery and the master bedroom and got so many snuggly awesome baby moments. Doing a storyteller session allowed for everyone to relax and let the session flow naturally. This choice of session combined with that consult – just *chef’s kiss.*

Sunset Maternity Session | Narragansett Maternity Photography

There is something about the end of summer in Rhode Island. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful all year round, but the end of summer is special. Golden sunsets, the hint of breezes, beautiful skies and warm(ish) water. To get to photograph a maternity session in this time period makes it even more fun. And to photograph a couple as sweet and loving and amazing as this one, well that pretty much made it perfect.

Beach maternity sessions are one of my most requested sessions. Whether it’s clients on babymoons to Newport or people living in the area, everyone in the ocean state wants photos with…well…the ocean. 🙂 These two were no exception. Mom had grown up in Rhode Island and the couple had moved back to the area recently from NYC, expecting their first baby girl. C&P wanted images in one of their favorite places in the world – by the water. We spent an hour or so together going up and down the shoreline for some very different looks as as the sun set, and then mom got right into the water – check out the laughing photos as small waves hit her!

It was such a wonderful evening getting to know and photograph them. It made going back a few weeks later to photograph their precious newborn baby girl even better. By booking a newborn session and adding on the maternity everything got that much easier and more relaxed.

Sibling Newborn Session | Rhode Island Newborn Photographer

I have said before I love newborn sessions with siblings. First babies are always fun but it’s no secret I adore the siblings. And sometimes I extra adore the siblings when they are as awesome as this one was. Being an older sibling, M was MORE than ready to show off her new little baby brother She was so incredibly adoring and loving and sweet with him. Even at their original consultation before the session, she was already excited about the baby so when I got there and she was getting to hold and snuggle him? The BEST. Mom and dad were also over the moon with their new baby boy (and I dont think I’ve ever seen a mini clone of a parent quite like this little guy hahaa!)

We spent a good time of their storyteller session capturing fun and beautiful family photos – even incuding one with one of the cats!! I adore seeing how babies fit into family dynamics both literally and figuratively. Finding the room to hold them in the family group photos while everyone else gathers around is so much fun. I love the little squeezes and looks that can happen. The sweet looks, the laughs, the pure love and joy in that family grouping. The life of the family has changed so much in such a short period of time, and so so very completely that the emotions that come out are just the best. After family photos it was time for solo baby cuteness. I mean – the sleeping stuff was good but check out that face and those expressions he was giving me during some awake time as well!

Providence RI Family Photography | In Home Lifestyle Session

I am sure I have said it before, but one of the things I love about storyteller sessions is getting to photograph families in their home and just telling the story of their lives. Nothing fancy, nothing posed. Just sweet loving families being themselves. This family was certainly no exception. Mom reached out to schedule her session just in time for her sweet boy’s first birthday in their home on the east side of Providence. Now I have said (and firmly believe) that any home works for photo sessions. But I do ADORE homes on the east side. Most are much older with all of the features of an old home and this one did not disappoint. A wonderful staircase and hallways with high ceilings that we made so much use of in their images!! But the best part was the people inside the home. We all know no matter how awesome the house if the people aren’t fun, it won’t work.

Thankfully, they were fantastic!! We did fun images on mom and dad’s bed – which little kids always love – as well as some in his nursery. If you can see it in the crib image, the picture above it was actually a painting of his dad with his dad. I loved that little touch that we could include for them (and it’s something so personal you cannot get in a studio setting). We had so much fun in our time together. Our session – and their resulting gallery – was full of laughs and smiles and book reading and tickling and crawling and flying. We played games and sang silly songs and stopped for a snack when it was needed. We bounced on ottomans and in cribs, crawled and drooled. There were hugs and kisses, quiet moments and loud laughter filled ones. All the fun things you want in your family photo session.

Continuing the last post (which continued from a previous post)…baby India’s newborn session. I was so very fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph the maternity, Fresh 48, and newborn sessions for this family. We were supposed to do some baby’s first year sessions as well but Covid had other plans for us and prevented that from happening. ::cry:: After doing the Fresh 48 session on her third day, I joined sweet India and her mom and dad at their house for a storyteller session when she was right around two weeks old.

Our session together lasted several hours and we were able to do images in all different parts of the house. This is absolutely one of my favorite parts of not being tied to a studio! So often when clients are worried about having a “nice enough” house I tell them they simply need a wall, a window and maybe a bed or couch and we can make it work. To prove just that, I’ll let you in on a little secret – this was temporary housing for them with almost none of their own furniture! But it still completely worked because they made it HOME.

We were also fortunate enough to have grandma around for a few images as well. I absolutely love including extended family in some images – they make it extra precious. Between image with mom and dad, images with grandma, and images on her own, we were able to have such a beautiful gallery!
