Jake – Eight Days | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

I got to meet this sweet little guy last week as one of three of my newborns that were born within 24 hours.  (Three!!)  At 8 days he was my youngest and at a little under six pounds he was also my smallest ::love::  He was just perfection from his tiny fingers all the way to his tiny toes and an absolutely fabulous sleeper.  And mom and dad were so good with him.  Your first baby is exciting, wonderful, stressful and exhausting – it runs the gamut of every emotion.  But they are doing amazingly well with it.  🙂   I am running on empty at the moment with the third newborn in a row this morning.  SO I am going to stop here and just let you all enjoy handsome Jake!!  Congratulations again, D. family – he is perfection.

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.  🙂

Every year I get a few requests for weddings.  I pretty much always turn them down because I do not consider myself to be a wedding photographer (nor do I want to be).  And to get me interested in one, it would have to be something very different or very special in some kind of a way.  Amy and Missi were just that.  They contacted me last August and asked if I shot weddings.  They explained that they were getting married on Cape Cod in September of 2012 and wanted to know if I would be interested in shooting the wedding because they loved my style of work.    Amy was the sister of a previous client so I already had some familiarity with the family, and Amy and Missi being able to get married is something that I hold very close to my heart.  I don’t get political on here (though if you knew me in real life you’d know I am very opinionated!) but I very very strongly believe that any two adults who are in love with each other should have the right to marry each other.  So off we went to plan their wedding photos!

The wedding took place two weeks ago starting in gorgeous Provincetown and then the ceremony and reception were held in the unbelievably beautiful Truro Vineyards.  Although the weather was iffy that morning it ended up being a stunning, sunny, warm Cape day with perfect weather for a wedding.  We started with a ride around the city to one location they had requested for some photos of just the two of them.  (I think this might have been my favorite part because it was just me and them, no one else.  Plus I got to shoot from a moving pedicab.  Pretty cool.)  After that we went back to their inn and hopped on a trolley with family to attempt some photos at Race Point Beach.  Unfortunately it was just *too* too bright for truly great photos but we did manage to get a few in.  Then it was off to the vineyard for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.  While there were no traditional bridal parties or cake cutting, they had some wonderful special touches to their wedding, such as Amy’s father walking them both down the aisle, having their rings tied on a necklace around their daughter’s neck, a homemade cork (literally wine corks) board for notes, and the champagne flutes for everyone to join in a toast at the end of the ceremony.  So many things that made it special and truly them.  It was a wonderful day and I am so honored that I got to be a part of it.  🙂

Congratulations, Amy and Missi (and Simi!)

This is a much-delayed sneak peek from last week…I was out of town for a few days assisting a friend at her workshop and I know some people are very excited to see them!!  🙂  I met up with this mom and daughter at Roger Williams Park for some pictures to mark C.’s 4th birthday.  (Side note – I had not shot there in ages and it was just as beautiful as I remember it.)  C. was an absolute darling with the prettiest curls in her hair and these sparkling eyes that just lit up.  We hit a few different locations in the park but not too many as mommy is expecting their second little girl in just a few weeks.  It was the perfect mix of celebrating a beautiful girl growing up and the last few weeks of that special mommy / daughter relationship.  C was so full of life and energy and her personality and love for her mommy just shines through in the photos.

 Enjoy the photos and these last few weeks as a family of three.  I cannot wait to meet your new little girl soon!!!

Julia | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

When strangers hire me to take their photos, that is pretty cool. But when people we know hire me, that, for some reason, is extra special. As has been mentioned here before, my husband is an OB-Gyn at a local hospital here in Rhode Island. His partner and her husband just had a beautiful baby girl a few weeks early and hired me to come do photos of her at their house.  Julia was a teeny five pounds at birth, and a shade under six when we did her session.  She was just perfection in a tinier little bundle!  She gave us some awake time in the beginning and then drifted off to sleep, curling and laying beautifully for me both in her parents arms and in different poses.  It was an absolute honor and privilege to photograph their new little family of three.  So, without further ado…
