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 🙂

Sass | Rhode Island Child Photographer

I started my Friday morning off with this little cutie and her baby sister in downtown Providence.  Though M took some time to warm up to me (and to warm up in general – it was chilly!!)  I got SUCH adorable looks from her.  Here is a little peek at what I am working on…a little sass for your Saturday morning 🙂

Mini Session with R. | Providence Family Photography

I met R. and his parents for one of my holiday mini sessions at Roger Williams park this past Saturday morning. We got pretty lucky with the one stretch of nice weather in the entire weekend!!!  I am so happy, too, that we didn’t have to reschedule because I had SO much fun.  And with how much little R. moved it’s a good thing it was pretty cool – for a two year old, he is super fast!  We still managed to get some great shots with the help of flowers, candies and, as always, singing songs.  J. it was great to finally meet you after several emails 🙂  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Sunset Maternity | Providence Maternity Photographer

A lot of photographers don’t like shooting maternity because, well, it’s a belly.  I personally love them.  Did I always?  No, definitely not!  But I have grown to appreciate what I am really shooting.  First off, it is the time that, I think, a woman is at her most beautiful.  And it’s not just a belly – it is the last few times of sanity, the last few moments of quiet, of intimacy, of romance before a new baby joins the family.  Whether it’s the first child or the fourth, it is a time to step back and focus on what is coming.  And to focus on the relationship.  It is a session often full of emotion – we laugh a lot, sometimes there is a little tearing up, a lot of smiles, joy, nerves and a lot of pre-nostalgia if you can call it that.

I met A and J down at Narragansett beach last night for a little sunset mini-maternity session.  They signed up for the newborn promo I am running because A. is due in a few short weeks and let me tell you, it’s going to be HARD to narrow down the photos from this session.  Momma-to-be was beautiful, the light was absolutely delicious as you will see, and the sky got just incredibly gorgeous towards the end.  Not to mention that they themselves were SO MUCH FUN!  (I mean, hello?!?!  She climbed up the side of a lifeguard stand for a picture!)  But seriously, they have known each other since they were born (literally, their families have known each other since way long ago) and you can tell.  There is an ease, a peace, a connection between them as they wait for their baby boy to join them.  I feel so honored that they chose me to capture these moments and I can’t wait to see them again in a few weeks and meet their son!!!

I know this is similar to the shot I did in my last maternity but it’s such a gorgeous classic shot – and look at the color we got!!

Beautiful Baby Bump | Providence Maternity Photographer

Sometimes I get to throw everything out the window and do a shoot for a friend where I can truly relax, have fun and really do my thing.  I mean, I do this to an extent with regular clients, but when it’s a friend, it is a world of difference.  I met up with Dani and her hubby Steve on Sunday night to do some maternity pictures for their little munchkin.  Munchkin is due in five weeks and I cannot believe how quickly the time has flown!!  Dani and Steve had their engagement photos done at Sakonnet Vineyards in GORGEOUS Little Compton, RI, so it was wonderful to come full circle and do their maternity pictures here.  (Now if only I could figure out how to get the newborn shots done there, too! Hehehe)   Dani looks amazing for 35 weeks and I can’t wait to meet munchkin in a few short weeks!!  I keep going back and forth whether it’s a boy or a girl but I think I have settled on BOY.  🙂 My favorites.  A lot of my favorites…
