Glowing | Providence Maternity Photography

Glowing.  It is what my last client of the year was.  Simply stunning and glowing.  And not because we met in the grey windy raining day that was Sunday, but because she is, quite possibly, one of the most gorgeous pregnant women I have ever photographed.  And she and her husband together?  TOTALLY adorable.  I can already tell that I will love her newborn session in a few short weeks.  I mean any client who is willing to go out in the rain under an umbrella for pictures is a winner in my book.  😉  I had such a fabulous time with them!

As I said, this was my last regular client of the year. Rhode Island and family sessions in the winter don’t really mix.  So where do we go from here in terms of blog posts and sneak peeks??  Well there are some newborns to come and I am also working on a few different ideas to post during my “off season” part of the year.  In the meantime, enjoy this beauty.  Going out with quite the bang.

Super Cute | Rhode Island Baby Photography

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy in his house.  Picture a gorgeous house right on the water with tons of natural light, then throw in a super adorable and HAPPY baby and add in an awesome and beautiful mama who (as it turns out) grew up not far from where I did.  All the makings of a great session.  Since their house is a little on the modern side, I wanted to keep things really nice and simple and clean.  It’s really important to match what the life is like to what the photos are like (at least I think).  So we did what I refer to as “pure baby” shots.  Just baby, a white comforter, a blank wall.  Nice and simple so all the focus goes onto this super cute little guy in front of my lens.  After we did that, again keeping it really simple we went to the living room and did some shots in there.  We tried really hard to get Jake the dog into the photos, but he wasn’t having it.  Ah well.  Baby R. was having it and was rocking being cute for me!!  He showed off his super fast crawling skills and big gorgeous brown eyes 🙂  Perfect, perfect shoot.

I know mom dad and baby are getting ready for a really awesome trip so I will cut it short now  🙂  Enjoy!!!

Amazing | Rhode Island Newborn and Family Photography

I will say right off the bat that it has been difficult to narrow down proofs from this session.  And then to only pick a few for a sneak peek?!  Well, I didn’t do such a good job at that, either.  When we first set this session up (my last of three on Sunday!) mom mentioned how she would really love to have some newborn shots done as well as family shots.  The only thing was that the “newborn” was already a chunky, adorable 6 weeker.   I will admit, I was a bit worried about getting more traditional newborn shots with a baby that old, but he rocked it!!!  Little C. slept deeply and let me do some shots with his adorable 12 pound self.  So, so cute.  It definitely was not as much as a regular complete newborn session would have been, but it was fabulous. I mean look at him!  Tell me you do NOT want to squeeze those cheeks or snuggle him.  (Trust me, you want to.  I got to snuggle him!)

And can we talk about big sister and brother?  Ummm ADORABLE.  (Not to mention they had this amazing eye color!)  Third family in a row that day, third awesome set of kids.  (And more Steeler’s fans too, yippee!  We are taking over the world, you’ll see)  These two were definitely a typical brother and sister in how they interacted but when they were cute and snuggling together for a picture, my heart melted a little – and they’re not even my kids!  I am not sharing the whole family shots just in case she wants to use one for a holiday card but even mom and dad got in on the photos in the end 🙂 And then when we were done shooting, mom and I chatted for probably another 15 or 20 minutes!  Again, in the back of my mind I found myself wondering if she would think I was nuts if I arranged marriages between our families.  (At this point I think I have married my kids off ten times over each…)  What could have been a very tiring, long end to my day, was made perfect with this family and these kids.

All in all, an amazing day!

I Dare You | Rhode Island Family Photography

I dare you not to smile when you see these adorable kiddos – especially the baby.  I just double dog dare you!!!  Continuing my awesome Sunday was a stop down the street with this family for a quick holiday session.  (And I assure you mom, I have a few different shots of all three but didn’t want to share them on here since it’s holiday card time!)  Again, total strangers welcoming me in and making me feel completely at home.  Of course it could be the fact that I am a giant four year old so I get along really well with little kids.  Or the fact that Dad and I are both Steelers fans so it was already in their blood to like me.  😉  Whatever it was, it was fabulous.  Another gorgeous family, more gorgeous kids and lots of laughter.  🙂

I know I say it a lot.  But I really absolutely just adore my job.

Laughter | Rhode Island Family Photography

Continuing my good for the soul that I wrote about this morning…we have also heard that laughter is good for the soul.  If so then I am in luck because boy did I do a lot of laughing yesterday!!  It is so nice to be welcomed into someone’s house and be made to feel like part of the family.  I often leave sessions trying to figure out how I can arrange a marriage play date between their children and my own and wondering if the moms would think I was nuts if I came and just hung out with them and had coffee.  My clients are that awesome and that much fun.

When mom and I planned this first (of my three!) sessions yesterday morning, she mentioned that she really just wanted to capture the girls having fun and them being a family.  Now there are people that say that but mean they want perfectly posed, contrived photos.  Not this family.  They wanted real honest fun photos.  That doesn’t mean we didn’t set them up (jump, girls!) but it was very much a capture of who they are, every day of their lives.  Totally in their element, totally, awesomely them.   I am keeping it all black and white today since they mentioned they love black and white photos.  R. family, it was great meeting you guys – enjoy!!!
