Family Photographer Rhode Island | Fall Session with the L Family

I have said it before but being a family photographer is, quite possibly, my favorite thing in the world.  It wasn’t what I grew up wanting to do.  I wanted to be Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs catching bad guys with the Behavioral Sciences Unit of the FBI.  Instead I began my work life teaching Spanish to high school students, and now I chase down toddlers in fields.  Totally the same thing haha.  But really, being a family photographer is amazing.  I get to hang out with families and kids in beautiful locations and make them hug and kiss and laugh and dance and photograph it all while it happens in front of me.

The L family is no exception.  I have photographed these cuties for a few years now and each year they have just been so natural and fun each and every time.  They’re the opposite of my family in that their oldest in a girl with two younger brothers and my oldest is a boy with two younger sisters, but I have so loved watching the dynamic between them.   There is so much love there between them all.

For this session we headed to a location that was new to me in Cumberland.  The Monastery is a gorgeous set of grounds right here in town that I had never previously explored.  Then it turned out there was acres and acres of land and trails and I was hooked!  Combine the trails with fall foliage and it was a match made in heaven.  We hiked in a bit stopping along the way for a few different looks – it was so nice to be able to have different settings all within a short walk.  And luckily little kids love to walk and run 😉

Senior Photos Rhode Island | Sasha M.

When Sasha’s mom contacted me to do senior photos for her, I was over the moon.  I don’t get to do a lot of images for seniors, as the majority of my work is with babies and younger kids.  But already knowing mom and Sasha’s youngest sister, I didn’t hesitate to say yes – because I knew it would be beautiful and fun!

We did the session at their house in their gorgeous yard.  With goats, and dogs, and cats, and amazing natural beauty, there was so much to work with!  First we did images with just Sasha since it was her senior session.  Later, we added in mom and dad and siblings.   I am such a sucker for parent images.  There is something so sweet about them, especially as kids get older.  I look at my son, who is a freshman in high school, and I cannot imagine doing senior photos with him!  It seems so far off, and yet so close.

To finish the session, we did some photos with the goats, and then Sasha changed into her high school lacrosse uniform to celebrate the sport she loved.  Being on top of a hill on their property I couldn’t resist getting a gorgeous silhouette as the sun set behind the trees!!

I wish her all the best of luck with college, and for the first and likely only time ever, I will say Roll Tide. 😉

Family Photography Rhode Island | The W. Family

One of the things I love the most about my job is the longevity of client relationships.  I have said it before, but I am so lucky.  It is a privilege to do family photography.  Even more so, to be asked back again and again by families over the years.  And I treasure the chance to do their family photos as they grow and change.  The W family is no different. Having worked with them since their oldest was an adorable little six month old, this was a continuation of our sessions together.  I have seen them add one sibling, and then another.  To grow individually and as a family.  And I have been so lucky that they choose me to document it all.

This session we met up in a local field and traipsed all over the place to find gorgeous locations for their images.   We got such an incredible variety of images.  From rich sun drenched photos, to the amazing foliage, to gorgeous and simple backlighting.  Also, moms’s outfit choices?  Perfection!!  I loved the mix of the mustard and olive with the blues of the denim.  Coupled with their adorableness, the color palette worked absolutely perfectly with the gorgeous fall setting around us.  We had so much fun walking, and chatting, and playing games.  And the kids were such a delight – being familiar with me is a definite aid!

Family photography doesn’t have to be stiff and serious.  We have so much fun during my sessions and I always come home with a full heart (and often a sore back!).

Barrington Rhode Island Family Photography Session

I’ve been working with the S family since 2011. I’ve captured so many sessions with them and have loved watching their girls grow up! They contacted me wanting to plan a session at their home and the nearby marina.

The weather was perfect the day of their session. It was a beautiful day! I met them at their new home they just had built. We began their session in their home and outside in their yard. Their girls are so well-behaved but also love to have fun! I made sure I captured them playing outside and on the swings.
