Maternity Session in Lincoln Woods | Rhode Island Maternity Photos

When Maya first reached out for maternity and newborn photos I had no idea how gorgeous all of it would be. We decided to do her maternity photos at Lincoln Woods park. It’s a great location because it offers a few different looks all in one spot. She showed up looking like a straight up maternity model. She wore a beautiful bodycon knit dress that showed off her belly perfectly! I always offer a maternity guide to all of my clients and have two super popular blog posts that are years old but still have relevant concepts. In there I talk about the difference between different styles and bodycon is one of my favorites!

We had a gorgeous October morning just as the leaves were changing. We also had the most beautiful light for our time together. We explored a few different areas to get a few different looks throughout the session. However, I think my favorite parts were by the stone wall and then Maya and Amanjot strolling through the trees by the picnic table. I always back off a bit to let couples have private conversations during maternity photos. It’s enough to have a giant camera pointed at you; to also have someone close enough to hear every single word is a bit much. But I have learned over the years that when I back off things are more natural. It’s more relaxed, and more intimate and frankly the photos look better.

All told we spent probably 45 minutes together doing photos and had such a fantastic time. One of the best parts was that they were also doing a newborn session! The maternity session really allowed me to get to know them, and them to get to know me and how I work. It makes the newborn session SO much easier when clients book a maternity, too. Plus why not have photos of both? 😉

Weekapaug Inn Vacation Photo Session | RI Family Photographer

Going on vacation with your family is an exciting time for everyone involved; you create memories that last a lifetime. The G family has been coming to the Weekapaug Inn for a few years and when they were planning their vacation this past year, they knew they wanted to document their vacation with photos to look back on in the future. Mom reached out to a friend for recommendations, and they were pointed in my direction. I was so honored to be the one to capture their special moments together. (Make sure you check out the video at the end – one of my favorites I have ever made!)

Mom mentioned how the boys love to play chess in the lounge – even though they were too little to truly understand the strategy of it, it was a memory she had of them playing with the pieces over the years. So we started our session there – and their little fingers on the pieces and such a grown up game juxtaposed with them holding their lovies?? Got my mom heart big time. From there we took things outside. We began with a round of bocce on the court. The two young boys were eager to show off their skills and enjoyed having some friendly competition with mom and dad while I got a few photos to commemorate the moment. After that, it was time to get cozy! The family snuggled up in chairs on the lawn while I took candid shots that captured their love and affection for each other. As if that wasn’t enough excitement, we ramped things up with some walking and running and even dancing!

From there we headed to the beach. Because no trip to Weekapaug Inn in the summer would be complete without a stop at the beach. I photographed a maternity session there a few years ago and loved it so I was excited to get back. They grabbed a wagon and a football and off we went! So. Much. Fun. They ran in and out of the water, and jumped and twirled and told funny jokes and explored rocks and creatures. It was the perfect way to wrap up our time together.

Definitely, absolutely hands down if you want an iconic, gorgeous, relaxed family vacation, Weekapaug is the place to be. <3

Love is Love | In Home Newborn Photographer Massachusetts

Give me all of the snuggly, loving parents. Give me the single parent, the mom and dad, the two moms, the two dads. Big families with tons of siblings, first babies to come home. Love is love is love a million times over and that is what I live to capture for all of my clients. This newborn session was absolutely the perfect example of that. When mom reached out and said she and her wife wanted a newborn session in their home I was so excited. Especially, and I will be honest here, because they said I could share the images afterward. So often my LGBTQ families won’t let me share images – which I totally understand, but makes me sad. These two moms were ADORABLE and so so freaking funny. I remember laughing so much during their session.

Baby Madison was chubby and smily and pretty much perfect. She was a little different in that she was awake for most of the session which was awesome. It’s always an added bonus to get eyes open and sleeping images during a newborn session. It’s not something I normally TRY to get (that old adage about never waking a sleeping baby ) unless baby needs to eat but it’s a nice surprise when it happens. We were able to get such cute interaction shots – check out the nose boop below! We also got some adorable images with the newly promoted big fur sibling as well which was so awesome. I welcome all fur siblings as long as they are well trained – big animals plus tiny babies don’t always work. But this one was ADORABLE.

Towards the end Madison did drift off a little bit so it really ended up being the best of both worlds. <3

Maternity On the Water in Wickford Harbor | RI Photographer

Ahh maternity sessions. I love love love maternity sessions, especially if I know I will also be photographing the newborn session. Don’t get me wrong – of course I love all my mamas. However, it’s even cooler to know that I will be there for the “after” too.

When mom contacted me to book a maternity and newborn session I was already excited. But then when I got to their house and they mentioned heading over to “the little island” on their boat I was IN. I am not a boat person. Never have been. Where we are in Cumberland it’s about an hour to the water. While it may be true that we are the “ocean state” it’s only ocean on the border. So the opportunity to get on boats doesn’t really happen. In any event they said boat and I said “yessss!”

We crossed the water to this beautiful little empty private island and thankfully I did not die climbing out of the boat. After that we were able to meander around and take advantage of the different sides of the island and all of the beautiful sun. Each side provided a very different look to the images. With this in mind we got both backlit soft and hazy, and direct rich golden images.

Once I had gotten enough images to make us happy, we took back off in the boat and they took me on a tour of Wickford harbor! We sailed (motored?) up and down and eventually set to drift for a bit so I could get some images on the boat itself. After that we headed back to the house where mom changed into a different outfit to end with some stunning sunset sky photos on their backyard dock. It was a gorgeous fun time, to be repeated when I went back in a few weeks for their newborn session. But more on that later 😉

Beach Maternity Session | 33 weeks in Rhode Island

Beach maternity sessions are very very popular here in Rhode Island. It makes sense – we are the Ocean State after all!! But even though they are popular, I still absolutely adore them. Beach maternity sessions in the summer especially are just so beautiful. As the time gets later, families begin to leave and open sand is easier to find. But most importantly, sunset changes the sky and water color as it goes. On good days we can get pink and purple skies and the colors can just be amazing. Even when we do beach maternity sessions outside of summer, it still provides a beautiful backdrop for images. Certainly there is nothing more classic Rhode Island than the ocean. 🙂

P&M chose my most popular location for beach maternity sessions – Second Beach in Newport. I love it because it offers two similar yet very different looks. We began up top at Purgatory Chasm and did some images on the wide expanse of rocks overlooking the ocean, then were able meander into the woods for some greenery images. After that we made our way down to the beach. Because they had booked my deluxe maternity session option, she was able to change into a different outfit for the beach images. As a result we were able to add such fantastic variety to their gallery! And that sunset I mentioned earlier? It was glorious that evening. (In addition at Second you have the added bonus of the sun setting over the hill behind St. George’s school so you can also get some really beautiful backdrops to your images as it gets later. And because of the wide expanse of the beach, we can even shoot after sunset if needed!) P&M were an absolute delight to work with. They were so very in love with each other and just radiated excitement for the arrival of their baby girl.
