Newborn Photos Rhode Island | Baby Nora

Oh newborn photos.  How much I absolutely love love love doing them.  Without doubt, it’s my favorite type of session out of all that I offer.  There is just something special about the sessions.  It’s a brand new time in a family’s life that goes so quickly.

Mom contacted me after seeing one of my fusion videos that I make for my storyteller session clients.  She said she absolutely needed to have that.  They were welcoming their fourth child – and their first girl.  Three adorable, loving big brothers, so excited to meet her 🙂

We started the session in the master bedroom where I really love to do my images.  It’s comfortable and cozy and allows everyone to relax.  What’s more it’s almost always easy to throw a blanket over everything and pile on!  We did images of everyone together, as well as each sibling individually.  It’s so important to me to provide that one on one time with new siblings during newborn photos.  There is something really special about that new bond.  Usually they don’t get alone time with the new baby so I love what I can capture there.  I often even (if they’re old enough) kick mom and dad out while I work with them so the images are a complete surprise!

Later we headed outside as the weather was gorgeous that day.  I always take the chance to do images outside if I can!!  After that, we came back in and it was time for baby Nora to star in the show.  We chose a gorgeous pink blanket and wraps that complimented her coloring in order to do beautiful simple baby images.

Family Photography Rhode Island | The W. Family

One of the things I love the most about my job is the longevity of client relationships.  I have said it before, but I am so lucky.  It is a privilege to do family photography.  Even more so, to be asked back again and again by families over the years.  And I treasure the chance to do their family photos as they grow and change.  The W family is no different. Having worked with them since their oldest was an adorable little six month old, this was a continuation of our sessions together.  I have seen them add one sibling, and then another.  To grow individually and as a family.  And I have been so lucky that they choose me to document it all.

This session we met up in a local field and traipsed all over the place to find gorgeous locations for their images.   We got such an incredible variety of images.  From rich sun drenched photos, to the amazing foliage, to gorgeous and simple backlighting.  Also, moms’s outfit choices?  Perfection!!  I loved the mix of the mustard and olive with the blues of the denim.  Coupled with their adorableness, the color palette worked absolutely perfectly with the gorgeous fall setting around us.  We had so much fun walking, and chatting, and playing games.  And the kids were such a delight – being familiar with me is a definite aid!

Family photography doesn’t have to be stiff and serious.  We have so much fun during my sessions and I always come home with a full heart (and often a sore back!).

CHOOSING A LENS FOR YOUR CAMERA

An introduction to and overview of camera lenses
How to buy choose a camera lens Rhode Island Photographer

In a previous post, I wrote all about choosing a camera.  But when you get a camera body, you will also need a lens!  Have you ever stopped and looked at camera lenses?  You see all sorts of funky letters and numbers like Canon 85mm f/1.4.  Or Nikon 18-55 f/3.5-5.6G VR.  It’s all gobbledygook until you understand a few basic things on choosing a lens for your camera.  When it comes to choosing a lens to go with the body of the camera you bought (this only applies to DSLR and Mirrorless because remember that point and shoots have one fixed lens) there are many choices out there.  So.  Many.  So I am going to try and help break it down a bit.  There are more factors that go into purchasing one but I want to keep this on a pretty basic level!  You can always email me if you have more specific questions.  And as I said in my previous post, I am a professional photographer, I am not a professional camera retailer so I will make some errors somewhere along the way, I am sure!

Camera Shopping Guide | Rhode Island Photography

CAMERA BUYING GUIDE

One question I get asked more often than anything is “What kind of camera should I get for my kids / spouse?”  So I thought I would put together a little something to help you in choosing a camera in your shopping.  While I am a professional photographer, I am not a professional camera retailer so I am sure there will be something I miss somewhere!  Forgive me 🙂

Now, please note.  Just as a gorgeous set of all-clad pans and shun knives will not make me Julia Child, the best camera equipment in the world will not make anyone a fantastic photographer.  Choosing a camera is just the start.  Whoever is getting the camera MUST MUST MUST learn to use it!! And I don’t mean just reading the manual.  But actually taking the time to learn what goes into photography.  At the end I will provide some resources for further learning!
