Ten on Tuesday | Rhode Island Photography

1.  I am so glad to be home!!  I love traveling and I certainly love seeing old friends and making new ones (and holding new babies of dear old friends!!).  But man does it feel good to come home and sleep in my bed in my house and be surrounded by my family!!  I think they missed me too 😉 Next trip is in three weeks – I leave for Chicago on August 6th and can’t wait.  I have only been there once and I was six months pregnant.  I plan to have a little more fun this time – along with of course doing sessions for some fabulous families!

2.  I love the unpredictability of newborns.  The newborn that started my trip to Chicago in August made her debut three and a half weeks early, and the newborn I am waiting here right here in RI is going to be about a week late.  Go figure.  Thankfully it shouldn’t (I reallllllly hope) affect their sessions.  I will get an extra young one (four days) and an extra old one (four weeks).  That’s all…I hope.

3.  I will have in my hands later this morning the delicious 135 2.0 lens.  I decided to rent something a little different for two shoots that are scheduled this week with older kids (14-21).  I cannot WAIT to get my hands on it.  I know that I am going to fall madly in love with it simply because Nikon has discontinued it for the moment and there is no word on when they are going to be releasing  new version of it.  Sigh.  Here’s hoping it is as magical as everyone tells me it is.  I know that I am excited for it!

4.  For an availability update, I have July 31, August 1 and August 28 left for summer weekend sessions.  I do have some availability during weekdays but those, too are disappearing quickly 🙂

5.  One from a newborn session I haven’t shared here yet…  Sometimes they can look *so* wise for just a few weeks old.

6.  I have three new baskets that I found at my new love, Hobby Lobby.  Sadly, Hobby Lobby does not exist here in RI so I had to buy them in NC and ship them north via UPS.  But I will add it to my list of pro’s for moving to NC.  Do I think it will really happen?  Probably not.  But a girl can hope.  I the meantime I will enjoy my new baskets.  I love love love them.  I have a bad addiction to baskets.  And the ironic part is that I don’t even use them that often.  I just have grand plans to…and carry them around in the back of my Tucson “just in case”  Makes grocery shopping interesting when it comes time to put the bags in the car.

7.If you were one of the people who got in on my mini-maternity sessions I have not forgotten you, I promise.  You will be hearing from me soon, I just need to get through the thick of things here which I can see happening in the next week.  I see the light wayyyy down there at the end of the tunnel of editing but it is definitely closer than it was a few days ago.

8.  Another of gorgeous Charlotte from last week.  I did three sessions with her over three days and ONE TIME I had to shush and soothe her.  That was it.  One time.  She slept like an absolute log the entire time for each session. It was amazing.  More of her photos coming probably Thursday.  I am a *little* behind on the blogging.

9.  Have I mentioned that I have two weddings coming up in the next month with the fabulous Kristina Young of Kristina Young Photography?  I love shooting with her and I adore her as a person so I can’t wait!  Both of the weddings are in Boston – a rooftop deck and then a tent wedding.  Should be SO much fun.  Tiring, and a lot of work, but fun.

10.  Last for this week – I am starting to book fall dates already.  The cutoff for holiday sessions is going to be November 15 so please be aware of that when you are scheduling you session, especially considering that I will be taking few and far between Sunday sessions after August 1.  So I encourage you to book early 🙂

Perfect | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

Perfect.  There is no other word to describe the twins I had the absolute pleasure of photographing a week and a half ago.   Absolute perfection.  Both the gorgeous babies themselves and (more importantly for me) their session.  These two slept like a dream the entire time I was there.  I almost was in disbelief that it went SO WELL.  Whenever you book twins you worry that it will be twice the difficulty but this was just pure delight.  I could have sat there all day photographing them.  (Something I told the parents many many times throughout the session.)  Big sister T. and little brother L., having arrived five weeks early were three weeks old and just slightly over five pounds when I did their session and you can already tell how close they will be – L. loved snuggling up to his big sister.  When he was touching her, he was calm and she was happy.

There has been no narrowing down of proofs for this session – I just have too many that I absolutely love that the parents will be getting.  So there hasn’t really been a successful narrowing down of images for this sneak peek, either.  I tried.  Really I did but I wanted everyone to SEE them!  I’m not sharing the whole session, I won’t go that far 😉  But I wanted to show lots here…so just warning you.  Overload of sweet, adorable newborn teeny baby goodness is headed your way.

Best Buds | Rhode Island Photography

We are really lucky in our lives to have friends.  Truly great friends – even luckier still.  Every once in a while people meet and really hit it off and become the best kinds of friends.  That is the story with A. and T.  They are very good friends, but to add a special twist, their little ones, only two months apart are also very best buddies.  Unfortunately, T and her husband are set to start a new part of their life a few states away.  But before they moved, these friends wanted to do a photo shoot with each other and their kids so that they could have photographs to remember the time by.  I had previously photographed little M. when he was only eight months old to it was such fun to shoot him older and with his best friend- and definitely something different for me.  We met on the East Side and started with a very cool location and then worked our way up and down the hilly streets.  I got some moments that I am sure the moms will treasure and the kids will get to look back on and smile. 🙂  T. I hope you love your new city and enjoy your brand new chapter!!! 

I’m Baaaaack! | Rhode Island Photography

Did you miss me?  You know you did 😉  I am back and starting to get resettled from a wonderful trip to NC.  I had an amazing time with my newborn session and seeing my friends and the family session I booked as well.  I really didn’t want to come back but I figured my husband and the kids might miss me.

I am just starting to get back in the swing of things.  First up was a new office chair for me since my husband broke mine while I was away.  Now that that has been settled and we are ready to move the office, things should return to normal annnnny day.  Maybe.  Hopefully.  There are lots of sneak peeks to get up, lots of emails to answer and LOTS of photos to share.  If you want advance sneak peeks of random things, make sure to check out the Facebook Biz page – www.facebook.com/AmyRoPhotography

Otherwise, just check back here to see what is going on 🙂  See you soon!

Glow | Maternity Photography

My very last session in Philadelphia was an evening / sunset maternity session for the gorgeous miss A who was in the same residency program as my husband.  Usually they say that pregnant women have a glow.  We have all heard it.  She was glowing personified.  SO so gorgeous with one of the most perfect bellies I have ever seen in my life.  Her husband J and daughter R were kind enough to chauffeur join us on our adventure through Valley Forge park and we even convinced them to hop in a few photos.  And with the lighting and backgrounds we had – perfection.  Aren’t they just gorgeous??  I can’t wait to see pictures of their new little girl in a few more weeks!  It was so great seeing you guys again – enjoy these last few weeks and I can’t wait to hear!  🙂
