B. Family | Rhode Island Family Photography
Every day I am reminded that I am so, so lucky to do what I love and to have people invite me into their homes and into their lives. Although it is a lot of work behind the scenes that people never know about, there is truly nothing I could love doing more. This past weekend, meeting a new family, was the perfect example. Way back in May, M. contacted me to buy a gift certificate for his wife for Mother’s Day (yay for a cool present!!). He wanted a family session with the two of them and their little guy, so the two of us discussed timing and decided to wait until the Fall when little L. was a bit bigger. Although we were “weathered” out the first day, this past Sunday was the absolute PERFECT day for their session! We started off with just a few shots in their home and then went down to Blackstone Boulevard. If you are at all familiar with the East Side of Providence you know about Blackstone Boulevard and the strip of green space that runs the center of it. It was my first time getting to shoot there but it was such a gorgeous location. People were out jogging, the sun was shining, the weather was beautiful and this family was just perfect. From the outfits down to their smiles and obvious overwhelming love for their little guy. And how about him? Oh. My. Gosh. I said in my Facebook preview but I’ll say it again here. When mom opened the door and I saw those eyes and lashes and that hair and that face I just about died. Tell me he is not the cutest thing ever?!?? Thank you SO much M. for thinking of me for a present. And I., here’s hoping we lived up to your expectations. 🙂
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 🙂
Veronica | Rhode Island Baby Photography
I will be pretty sad when Veronica gets bigger. Or, actually, when her parents sell their place. It has this great blue wall with a white coverlet on the bed and the perfect window…sigh. I used it for their clean and simple newborn photos HERE and then again this past weekend when we visited. It’s great to work with friends – you just tell them “Actually I want her undressed on your pretty white blanket” And they say “Okay!” (Fine, if we’re being honest I would say it to a client as well. But it’s a lot more comfortable when it’s friends.) We went back to visit John and Rachel and see “baby Veronica” as my daughter calls her. My has she changed!! So much bigger with the most adorable little rolls. I think she is just about the cutest seven month old on the planet. No, I’m not biased at all!!!! 😉 But can you honestly look at these and tell me she isn’t? Those cheeks, that dusting of red hair, those lips GAH!! Perfection! We even got to go outside for a few minutes and use the pram that was Rachel’s when *she* was a baby. I have had plans for that since I saw it at her shower. Ideally it would have been about 60 degrees warmer but I’ll take what I can. She is perfect as are her mommy and daddy. Much love to you guys!! (And just remember, I need a blue wall in the new place, too.)
Sunday in Lincoln | Rhode Island Family Photography
One baby is fun at a session. Two is really really fun but really challenging. When mom called me for this next session, I admit, I was a little bit nervous. A family of four with nineteen month old twins and at the end of November outside! So many things could have gone wrong with this shoot. But it all came together beautifully. And I mean ALL. The weather was stunning. November 20 and it was 61 degrees and sunny. The family – absolutely gorgeous. The kids – adorable and so so well behaved and just so stinking CUTE. The hand-knit sweaters on the kids – perfection. It was seriously so much fun. And never in one session have I had as many family photos as I came away from this session with where everyone is looking!! As an added bonus I also definitely got my cardio workout in. 😉 We met up at Lincoln Woods for my first time shooting there – an absolutely fabulous location!! The family took me all around and showed me the good spots. And we did the usual Amy Ro session things until the sun set – sang lots of songs, quacked like a duck, jumped up and down, said the word “poop” a lot. 😉 All the good stuff. But clearly, it paid off. 😀
