Delightful | Smithfield Family Photography

I ended Friday with a shoot wayyyy out in the woods (as mom said) with the most adorable little six month old!! (And at a great property too – I told mom and dad I was going to rent it for shoots!) Miss M. was totally cute, chubby, happy, perfect.  I love shooting 6-12 month olds – they are just the perfect age. They aren’t scared of the camera yet, they can usually sit on their own, they can stand holding hands and most importantly, they can’t get away from you. That is the true secret joy of photographing that age 😉  You can put them somewhere and they can’t move so it’s great!  Seriously though, it’s just a really delightful age.   And mom and dad were just too cute.  You could tell that they totally love their little girl and that she is the center of their world.  I love seeing families like this.  I love families of four and five (I mean heck, I am a family of four) but with a family of three there is this intimacy that you kind of lose once you have more children.  And I love seeing that.  The looks, the tickles, the grins, everything.  A. and C. I had a great time with you guys.  I did make it home safely through all of the curves.  I can’t wait for the dairy farm!!!!!

Urban Style | Providence Family Photography

So as I posted on Saturday I began my Friday morning with the gorgeous Miss M. and her equally beautiful little sister, I. in downtown Providence.  Their mom, E. is the owner of the fabulous Weddingbelle NYC bridal shoppe in Warren and found me though a local board that we are both on.  Unfortunately little I. was feeling a bit under the weather and apparently had been so excited for our shoot that she had been awake since 3:30 in the morning.  SO, I’ll be going back to have another little session with just her in the next week or two.  But we still had a great time anyways and did manage to squeeze in some shots with her before she fell asleep snuggled up to daddy.

You know it’s going to be good when the girls show up in matching Daily Tea dresses and mom shows up looking like she just stepped off of a runway in a gorgeous coat from Rue La La (by the way, E., it’s www.theminisocial.com 😉 )  We were all over the park next to Hemenway’s in downtown, playing peekaboo, tossing leaves, singing Taylor Swift, etc (yes, this is the first time I have sung Taylor Swift on a shoot!!).  I am sure there is a name for the park, but we just referred to it as that.  It was my first “urban” shoot here in Providence and I think I could grow to like it!   Thanks you guys for coming out on a less-than-warm morning, enjoy your sneak peek!!

Gorgeous girls

I. is at the stage that Layne was a month or two ago where she is just constantly babbling and cooing and seems to be telling you stories.  I love that I caught her doing it 🙂E2

Mommy snuggles.  Love E.’s expression here, total love for her daughter.

No matter how big they seem to be getting, you are still reminded some times of just how very little and precious they still really are 🙂

Threes | Rhode Island Family Photography

I realized when editing these photos that I have now had three “C.” families each with three kids for my past three sessions.  They say things happen in threes, right??  I guess this is living proof of it!  I met my most recent C. family at Roger Williams Park last night for some family photos in the beautiful evening light.  This was a little more nerve-wracking however, because mom is also a photographer.  It’s always harder to shoot for another photographer – it’s like the pressure doubles for some reason!!  Thankfully I had nothing to worry about.  It went great – three gorgeous kids, gorgeous mom and dad, gorgeous surroundings, really how could it go wrong???  W., C. and A. did definitely give me a challenge as any three siblings will but after working on it for a while, singing plenty of silly songs, dancing, all of my normal tricks, I managed to coax some smiles out of them.  Some of my favorites…

“If You’re Happy and you Know It” can work wonders!  (By the way, K, no swaps needed!!)

George | Philadelphia Family Photography

I ended my day (and my trip to Philly) at the George School in Newtown, PA. I had shot at this location previously and loved loved loved it. The funny part is that I have only been to this one part! I haven’t even gotten to other parts of the campus! So keep this location in mind, Philly peeps, for future sessions. Because yes, I am SO coming back to Philly. Anywho, I digress. The C. family (notice this is my second C. family of the day and both had three kids!) met me there for a loooovely evening light session. Three gorgeous children – 7, newly 6 (that very day) and 2 years old. And gorgeous mom and dad to boot. All in all a very good mix. We traipsed around and had a blast climbing on old abandoned pieces of farm equipment, up and down stairs and hills and all over the place. It was a great end to the weekend 🙂 Thanks for hanging out with me guys and H. I hope you had a fantastic birthday dinner!!!

More Philly to come in two weeks when I return for five (yes FIVE) sessions in 24 hours!!!!

One Two Three | Philadelphia Family Photography

I met the C. family yesterday morning in Center City for the first of my mini shoots in Philadelphia this weekend.  Three girls – 12, 10 and 8 and they were WONDERFUL!!  We started by discussing the previous night’s Flyers game so, as a sports fan, I knew it was going to go well!  I also got the coolest shot ever – I made them jump in front of these three gorgeous doors on, of all things, the Wachovia Bank right on Broad street.  Thankfully even at those ages they weren’t too cool to do it because I LOVE the resulting shot 😉 We also did some shots around Old City and got some great gorgeous pictures. Thanks so much girls (and mom for getting in a few, and dad for chauffeuring) for coming to hang out with me on a chilly morning. Hope you like seeing yourselves on here!!
