Family Archives - Rhode Island Newborn Family Maternity Photographer

Adorable x2 | Massachusetts Family Photography

When I first knew that we were moving to Rhode Island for Matt’s fellowship, I went ahead and networked and set up several advance sessions for the area. The C. family was one of my first takers for a session – one of the first to take a chance on a total stranger :). I met up with them again this past weekend for some new photos of A. and S. They took me to the gooorgeous World War I Memorial Park in N Attleboro for the photos and I just fell in love! (Seriously, I am bringing my kids there later this week or next to do their photos!!) And old ski lift/j-bar, old buildings, nice trees, some gorgeous park areas, benches, rocks, a waterfall – just so pretty. And A. and S. were perfectly adorable. Six months after their first session for me and it was like no time had passed. I find that there are some clients I fall into a very easy rapport with – the C family definitely fits the bill. It could be because our children are so close to each other in age, but it could just be that they are cool. 😉 And notice that this time, both mom and dad got into the pictures! Aren’t they just a beautiful family??

What to Wear Wednesday | Philadelphia Photographer

Welcome to this week’s what to wear. I went with a simple color scheme of brown and purple. (I promise, next week I will step away from the brown!!) This week every single piece you see here is from Old Navy and the only things over $20 are the mom’s jeans and the girl’s coat So you can do a great job of dressing for a session and still keep it cheap!!

I started with the girl’s outfit because once I saw it I couldn’t resist! How cute is that precious little hat?? As we get cooler, the corduroy dress with tights and a little coat becomes a great option. For the boy, nice and simple half-zip sweater with jeans. Boys tend to get a little dirty during shoots so I stick with jeans or dark colored bottoms. Khakis aren’t a bad thing at all but in the fall with leaves, dirt, mud etc, better off doing cords, dark twill pants or jeans. (Same thing with ivory tights for little girls, by the way – they are going to get dirty, just be warned. Better to add some boots or a different color / pattern tight.) For mom a great pair of jeans (and bonus ladies, these are Old Navy’s new Dreamer Jeans which have a little tummy flattening action and a little extra boost for your caboose 😉 ) Then a pretty top and this great purple sweater swing coat. And as a nice little extra, a bunch of ON’s sweater coats are on sale for $20 this week! And for dad a nice pair of jeans and a brown and white striped button down. Something else to break up the solid brown tops you are getting with the mom and son.

And one last little note. For extra savings on shopping make sure to check out Old Navy Weekly – they update the site with new coupons every Thursday evening sometime after about 5:00. Nice easy way to save some extra money!! And I have to admit, I think the modelquins stuff is kind of funny!

Ten on Tuesday and the Big One Winner | Providence Photographer

1. First and most importantly, thank you so much all of you for entering the contest. There were some truly wonderful entries. The winner of The Big One is Elaina O’Keefe. Her reason for photography touched all of us deeply and made her a unanimous choice. If I get permission from her later on, I will share her winning entry.

Second was a tie between Erin Jacobs and Joanna Parkman. Both of you two will win a $100 gift certificate to be used towards a session.

All three of you, please contact me at your earliest convenience!!

2. I will not be taking any sessions after December 1 unless it is a newborn session. SO if you are planning a session for the holidays, please don’t continue to wait. Don’t forget that there needs to be time for me to edit the photos, time for you to view and decide on them and time to get the orders to you. 🙂

3. On that note, I have only 9 dates left open before December 1. Those are my only weekend days left. So if you want one, let me know. I also still have three slots left on the 17th of October for holiday mini sessions.

4. In family news, Layne has had a big week! She popped through her first tooth, learned finally to roll from back to front (okay, so that’s late at 9 months but she weighs 20 pounds – it’s HARD to roll that much over 😉 ), figured out how to get food into her mouth by herself AND she is nine months old today. Nolan did the same thing – a three week period when he was nine months old he met about seven different milestones! Nolan’s updates – he got a much needed haircut. I am debating taking him out for a photo shoot with his fancy new cut. And Layne just because she loves the camera!I hope you are all liking the What to Wear series. I am having SO much fun putting them together! And no worries, I will definitely be doing some lower end ones as well. I know that myself, I have champagne taste and a beer budget 🙂

5. Have I mentioned that I am shooting my first wedding??? Yup. That engagement session I did with Kristina Young? Well, we’re doing their wedding as well and I am psyched. I love kids, really I do. And I love families. But every once in a while it’s nice to break out of my mold and try something new. SO excited to be doing a wedding!

6. I am working on a new website. Most people love what I have but I need change. I found a new template that features bigger photos. And I like big photos. So very slowly, I am working on it. I have NO idea when it will be ready. It could be days, it could be after the new year. We’ll see. But I am super excited about it so I couldn’t wait to share!

8. I never really talked about my trip to the OBX, but I wanted to share where we were. No, this was not what we had to walk to. This was out the back door of the house past the deck and pool. This was literally outside of our bedrooms. It was hard to pull myself away from this…

9. I am so happy that fall is here! The colors in the trees, the crisp air, jeans and sweater weather! (And of course college football season, that goes without saying!) It’s perfect for me, perfect for photographs. Keep in mind cute things for sessions like scarves, hats, boots (even wellies look great in photos!) and coats / vests. Old Navy has some adorable accessories right now and a great sweater sale going on until (I think) Thursday. I’m heading over there later to pick up some great cardigans.

10. Last, to my Philly fans, I am so so excited to be coming back to see you! I booked all of my sessions in under 24 hours and all with repeat clients – including several that I have not seen since I did their newborn session. I can’t WAIT to see everyone again! And the weekend to myself in a nice hotel, well, that is just the cherry on top 😉

A & O at Borderland | Massachusetts Family Photographer

I met up with S. and her family at Borderland Park in Easton, Mass Sunday evening for some photos after I returned from the trip to Nantucket. S. selected Borderland because she had grown up near it and it was a special place to her. After seeing it, I think I am in LOVE. In fact I know I have one session coming up there next month and I think I want ALL sessions to be there. The location is just to die for!!! Enough about the location though, what about the subjects???

I know S. from my photo board (yes, again. There are a lot of them 🙂 ) And I had met her son and daughter before but not her husband. Now YOU get to meet them all! Meet the real stars of the show, Miss A and Mister O. Gorgeous brother and sister with the MOST amazing eyes. It was definitely a challenge with these ages but it’s amazing what singing a silly song or saying the wrong names for things can get you. I had a really great time as I always do and we got some definite keepers. 😉

Ahhhh love the light!

Shining Through | Providence Photography

Every once in a while someone will ask me what my style of photography is and my response is always that I am photojournalistic with a little bit of portrait thrown in. Look at my tagline – Life. Laughter. Love. Emotion. Family. That sums me up perfectly. I have said it before and will say it again, I love capturing the emotion and the moments between family members. I don’t go for the “look straight at my camera and smile” though I always throw a little bit of that in there, especially for the grandparents. But overall, that is not me. If you want studio looks and poses keep looking 🙂 It can be a struggle to stay 100% true to my style when working with a client but I feel that my more recent sessions have been much more me.

While in the Outer Banks I got the opportunity to photograph a truly delightful family. A. is another member of our photography board that happened to be vacationing in the same area we were, so we recruited them for an evening beach session. Through the madness of eleven of us (yes, you read that right, eleven) shooting them at the same time, I got to shoot for myself. I got to have fun, relax and shoot the way I want to. Completely, one hundred percent my way.

What is my style, you ask? Who am I, truly? Take a look. These photos, this session, are totally and completely me. This is my love, my joy and my style. Shining through.
