One of the parts I love about my job is the longevity of it.  So many people are setting up shop right and left around here…but I’ve been photographing for six years.  Six years 🙂  Almost four of those years have now been here in Rhode Island, and I am so so lucky and love that several people have hired me again and again for their family photos.   In fact, all of my mini session families were on at least their third shoot with me.  The second family was no exception.  The first time I did photos with the R family, mom was newly pregnant with little sister.  And now, four shoots later, here we are.  I have loved watching them grow – it is so neat to see them change though my lens over time.  Although we didn’t get dad in any of those photos (next time!!) it was great to mark not only how they have grown but also these last few days before they welcome daughter number two.

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!!!
