Tiny Newborn Girl in Northern Rhode Island

I recently shared this couple’s maternity session here on the blog – now meet their beautiful newborn girl, Amira. At just 17 days old, she was pretty much perfect. Big beautiful dark eyes and these tiny delicate features. I love doing newborn sessions on or after day 15. At that point everyone has kind of settled into a routine and parents are usually a little more rested. Plus if moms are nursing or pumping, milk supply has usually been established. And since fed babies are happy babies that is super important! And Amira was super happy and cute.

Since I do photos in clients homes one of my favorite spots to use is the parents’ bedroom. And Amira’s parents room was no exception. They had a beautiful simple bed and walls that let the main characters (them!) shine. I have many prospective clients say “well I don’t have a magazine style bedroom or anything” and I always tell them if you have a bed, a wall, a window that’s really all I need. And I’ll let you in on a little secret – the mess all goes behind me and out of the frame. No matter whose house it is or what kind of people they are there is always chaos and mess! You’ve just had a newborn! So I just move it out of the way, set up where I am going to shoot, and continue on with the session.

We got the most beautiful photos of Amira and her parents during her session! She gave us some good quiet alert time and also sleepy time which we all love. 🙂

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? 😉

Beach Maternity Session | Rhode Island Maternity Photographer

Beach maternity sessions take on all different looks depending on when and where you are doing them in Rhode Island. One of the things I pride myself on with my sessions is being able to customize them to my clients. Now for studio photographers that might mean doing a whole set and props etc. But for me, that means we make the session at the location of your choosing, on a day of your choosing (as long as it works) and in a style of your choosing. When mom and dad mentioned that they weren’t totally sure where to do their maternity session but were both kite surfers, I knew it had to be a beach maternity setting. Especially once they mentioned bringing the dog along. But which kind of beach?? Which worked the best?

We ended up on her suggestion settling on the Pheasant Hill beach in Portsmouth. If you’ve never been there it’s not the easiest place to find since it’s down through a neighborhood in a hidden drive. But once you get there you have gorgeous views of the Mt Hope bridge, the Hog Island Lighthouse and a beautiful rock-filled beach. It was the PERFECT location for them. Her tank dress and converse, his plaid shirt and jeans, it just worked so well against the beach setting. It was relaxed, natural, casual just like their session. We strolled the length of the beach getting the Mt Hope bridge in the background, got some images under a fun pier at one end of the beach, and even got a little different look going up on a walking path. On the beach it was very neutral and rocky, and on the walking path it was bushes and beautiful greens.

Combining all of these things with a gorgeous perfect belly made for a truly unique, truly them session.

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 😉

Sunset Maternity Session | Narragansett Maternity Photography

There is something about the end of summer in Rhode Island. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful all year round, but the end of summer is special. Golden sunsets, the hint of breezes, beautiful skies and warm(ish) water. To get to photograph a maternity session in this time period makes it even more fun. And to photograph a couple as sweet and loving and amazing as this one, well that pretty much made it perfect.

Beach maternity sessions are one of my most requested sessions. Whether it’s clients on babymoons to Newport or people living in the area, everyone in the ocean state wants photos with…well…the ocean. 🙂 These two were no exception. Mom had grown up in Rhode Island and the couple had moved back to the area recently from NYC, expecting their first baby girl. C&P wanted images in one of their favorite places in the world – by the water. We spent an hour or so together going up and down the shoreline for some very different looks as as the sun set, and then mom got right into the water – check out the laughing photos as small waves hit her!

It was such a wonderful evening getting to know and photograph them. It made going back a few weeks later to photograph their precious newborn baby girl even better. By booking a newborn session and adding on the maternity everything got that much easier and more relaxed.
