Birthday Girl | Rhode Island Baby Photography

So as I said in my previous post, I don’t normally do birthday sessions or cake smashes.  It’s not really my thing.  I don’t have studio space so there is nowhere to set it up.  But cake smashes have become all the rage so when a lovely past client came back asking if we could do one in the park I certainly could not say no.  🙂   So here we were at miss A.’s newborn session one year ago…

And here she is nowadays:

We had a great time setting up in the park for the shoot.  Mom had done SO much work ahead of time.  She made, by herself, not only a gorgeous giant cupcake cake but one that was vegan due to A.’s milk allergy.  Absolutely amazing!  She had also put together tissue paper pompoms and gotten balloons as well as stuff for a tea party with her other daughter.  So we had a tea party in the park followed by a cake smash.  A. was a little timid when it came to the smashing but she did love the taste of the frosting.  🙂

So we had a run of some rainy, cool, yucky weather.  Actually I think it has been like that since January.  Anyway.  We postponed this mini session two times before finally being able to shoot this past weekend.  Normally I am very strict with where I shoot my sessions.  These were originally to take place in a park.  But since it was Father’s Day weekend and since I could get a babysitter  for a date night afterwards, I allowed this session to be done at the beach and dragged my husband along with me to gorgeous Sachuest beach in Newport.  And I am so happy we did it!  Little L. couldn’t quite sit on his own yet (though we did wedge him in some sand ;)) so lots of family shots happened – which I don’t really mind at all.  LOVE when the moms and dads want to be in the shots!  Only two today because it was a mini.  But you can see how stinking cute he was!!

Ten on Tuesday | Rhode Island Photography

Ahhh…it’s been a while.  Back to this.  At least for this week.  😉

1.  It is SUMMER!!  The first day of summer is officially today.  At least I think.  I didn’t pay too much attention to that stuff when I was in school.  Either way I am excited.  Beautiful weather, possibly temperatures NOT dipping back into the 50’s requiring us to do shoots with warm clothes instead of cute summer looks…  Summer.  It’s here and I am so glad to be back outside.

2.  On that note Daily Tea is having a great sale right now on summer dresses if you need some ideas for little girls. Think how cute these would be in pictures!!  I must try to resist….  I love the bright colors and patterns for photos.

3.  And on THAT note, there is a summer calendar update coming up after this post. So if you want to book a session this summer you will definitely want to read that.

4.  I am starting to think ahead to fall sessions.  Yep.  It’s already that time.  We photographers are kind of like clothing stores – we are always planning and thinking ahead to the next season.  I know, it’s crazy to even consider putting on jeans and sweaters or getting photos for holiday cards…I know, really.  But this is when we start shopping for holiday card templates and planning holiday mini sessions, etc.  This year I think I am going to be going to the great state of NY for some sessions if I can arrange it with this one family…

5.  Kind of a big one – we are MOVING!!!  Just about 25 minutes north of where we are now so it won’t affect my business.  But still.  We are moving!  Finally after all these years of my husband’s medical training we are in a place to settle down and stay a while (at least we plan to!) and are buying our first house.  Craziness – we are actually becoming real adults.  Home ownership.  Scary.  It’s happening in early August so I will be unavailable the first part of the month (again, see details in the calendar update post)

And since it WAS just Father’s Day weekend, I am cheating for the last five and posting my top 5 favorite daddy shots from this year so far (in no particular order):

Three | Rhode Island Family Photography

I met up with these lovely girls early Saturday morning for a session.  We had gorgeous weather and three beautiful little girls  🙂  Though it was definitely a challenge getting them all together (not a surprise at all with one year olds and two year olds, that’s just how it is!) we still had a ton of fun.  Lots of songs, lots of silly animal noises – I think they paid off.  😉
