Weekapaug Inn Vacation Photo Session | RI Family Photographer

Going on vacation with your family is an exciting time for everyone involved; you create memories that last a lifetime. The G family has been coming to the Weekapaug Inn for a few years and when they were planning their vacation this past year, they knew they wanted to document their vacation with photos to look back on in the future. Mom reached out to a friend for recommendations, and they were pointed in my direction. I was so honored to be the one to capture their special moments together. (Make sure you check out the video at the end – one of my favorites I have ever made!)

Mom mentioned how the boys love to play chess in the lounge – even though they were too little to truly understand the strategy of it, it was a memory she had of them playing with the pieces over the years. So we started our session there – and their little fingers on the pieces and such a grown up game juxtaposed with them holding their lovies?? Got my mom heart big time. From there we took things outside. We began with a round of bocce on the court. The two young boys were eager to show off their skills and enjoyed having some friendly competition with mom and dad while I got a few photos to commemorate the moment. After that, it was time to get cozy! The family snuggled up in chairs on the lawn while I took candid shots that captured their love and affection for each other. As if that wasn’t enough excitement, we ramped things up with some walking and running and even dancing!

From there we headed to the beach. Because no trip to Weekapaug Inn in the summer would be complete without a stop at the beach. I photographed a maternity session there a few years ago and loved it so I was excited to get back. They grabbed a wagon and a football and off we went! So. Much. Fun. They ran in and out of the water, and jumped and twirled and told funny jokes and explored rocks and creatures. It was the perfect way to wrap up our time together.

Definitely, absolutely hands down if you want an iconic, gorgeous, relaxed family vacation, Weekapaug is the place to be. <3

North Kingstown Newborn | Rhode Island Newborn Photographer

You may remember this couple from their maternity session earlier on the blog in Wickford Harbor in North Kingstown, and now it’s time to visit their adorable newborn session. Baby Bodhi’s newborn session was delayed a little bit due to Covid in my house. I take it seriously even still today – I don’t want to risk giving sweet little newborn babies any illness at all!! (And with three kids at three schools there are always bugs of some kind floating around so I actually also still mask – I don’t know if I’ll even change that in the future.) But even though we had to wait until he was a few weeks old for his session, it went so very well. That is one of my favorite parts of my newborn photography. I don’t need them to be tiny or under 10 days old. I don’t need them to fit in a teeny basket or prop of some kind. I don’t want to make them look like a standing potato on a blanket (iykyk).

Instead I want them fifteen days old or older. Give me ALL the older babies!! Parents are more relaxed. Feeding is going better. Babies are settling in more. Especially with first time parents, that delay can make a world of difference – everyone is just so much more comfortable. Bodhi and his mom and dad were no exception. They made our newborn session delightfully easy. We did the majority of their session in front of the large window overlooking their backyard and dock in North Kingstown, and some images in their master bedroom. So often clients will say “well our house isn’t xyz.” Listen, if you have a window and you have a bed or a couch, I am good to go and we will get beautiful images!

We did images with mom and with dad separately and then together. I also got some adorable ones of just Bodhi himself. Mom and dad chose to have a mix of classic images and beanbag so I chose a simple blue swaddle that went with the nautical theme of his nursery. Some of my favorites are the two with mom from above – check them out below. Something a little different and yet so familiar and sweet.

Fresh 48 Newborn Session | North Attleboro Photography

If you have been to Sturdy Memorial Hospital to have a baby, chances are that you have seen my photos. I have a lovely display of images all over the walls of the labor and delivery floor. It is one of my favorite things that I have done in all of my years of being a newborn photographer in Rhode Island and Massachusetts!! When dad, who worked at Sturdy, saw my images, he knew they wanted me to come for photos in their home after the baby was born since visitors were not yet allowed in the hospitals. It wasn’t quite a newborn session, but it wasn’t quite a Fresh 48 either. It was a gorgeous mix of the two.

Sweet Naya was just a few days old when I met her at their house. We did all of the images right there in their nursery. It was essentially recreating the hospital room in a FAR more comfortable environment. If I could, I would do so many of these sessions and call them “welcome home” sessions. I could get all of the small brand new details – fingers, toes, wrinkles. All of my favorite parts of the Fresh 48, but with the touches of the traditional newborn. It really was the best of both worlds.

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 😉

Newborn Baby Boy | East Side of Providence Newborn Photos

Being a newborn photographer, I am often meeting new couples and families. By and large unless it is a second or third baby the families hiring me are coming to me for the first time. For that reason I offer a pre-session consultation with families. Obviously, having someone you’ve never met come into your home after one of the biggest events of your life with your brand new baby can be a bit nerve wracking!

When I first met mom for their session consult it was as if we had been friends for years by the end. She gave me a quick tour of the house so I could plan out where we would do images. After that, we sat and chatted for quite a while about being pregnant, giving birth, some tips for after, and more. I always joke that my degree in psychology comes in far handier than a degree in photography ever would have. Coupled with having done the pregnancy and birth thing three times over and, well, you’re getting so much more than just a newborn photographer.

But with that consult, the goal is to make parents more comfortable. That way when I come back in a few weeks, it’s not a complete stranger walking through the door. And this time was absolutely that. Walking back in and meeting dad and seeing mom again was an instant and easy connection. I don’t think I have laughed as much as I did during their session together. I am fortunate to work with so many awesome couples. Maybe it is my website or how I communicate with them before they book – I don’t know what it is but it works. They were so relaxed and goofy and just happy. And baby Luca was perfection.

We did images in both their nursery and the master bedroom and got so many snuggly awesome baby moments. Doing a storyteller session allowed for everyone to relax and let the session flow naturally. This choice of session combined with that consult – just *chef’s kiss.*
