Backyard Baby Photography | Rhode Island Baby Photography

Backyard baby photo sessions are awesome. Everything feels comfortable and natural, and you get to capture little moments that really tell the story of who they are right now. This session in Providence was just that—a perfect mix of play, curiosity, and personality.

At the time of her session, Hailey was walking while holding hands and sitting and juuust starting to take steps on her own, which made the session extra fun and full of movement! We spent some time outside in their backyard first, letting her explore, take a few wobbly steps with mom and dad, and enjoy the fresh air. Babies at this age are just the cutest thing—every little stumble, every excited laugh, every face scrunch became a moment worth capturing.

After our time outside, we headed inside to the cozy living areas. This is where some of my favorite images came from— reading books, playing with a ball, and interacting with each other. Those everyday activities, when photographed naturally, become timeless memories. The baby giggles, the curiosity, and the way they look up at their parents—all of it tells the story of these moments in your life.

One of my favorite things about in-home sessions is that the environment is already meaningful. There’s no need for fancy props or studio setups—just your baby being themselves in the spaces they know and love. And capturing a baby at this age, right as they’re learning to walk and sit, is such a fun and special milestone.

Sessions like this remind me why I love baby photography so much. It’s about the little moments that slip by too fast—the first steps, the way they love a certain book, the open mouth kisses. These are the images parents cherish forever.

I can’t wait for everyone to see these sweet memories from this Providence session.

North Kingstown Newborn Session

Anyone who follows my work knows that in-home newborn sessions are always some of my favorites. There’s just something about photographing a new baby in the space where life is actually happening—the nursery you worked so hard on, the couch where you’re soaking in newborn snuggles, and all the little in-between moments that make this time of life feel real.

Baby Archie’s newborn session took place in his family’s home in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, and it was everything I love about in-home newborn photography. Calm, cozy, and fun. We moved at our own pace, taking breaks when needed and keeping things relaxed, which always leads to the most natural and meaningful images.

And then there was big sister! Including siblings in a newborn session is always special, and she did such an amazing job. From gentle snuggles to curious glances at her brand-new baby brother, you could already see that bond forming. I always let siblings lead the way during sessions—there’s no forcing or posing perfection here. She wasn’t sure at first what to think of me. So we let her move at hew own pace, too, coming and going when she wanted and when she was ready. And keeping things light and playful and a little bit silly (such as upside down kisses and tickles) made it so smooth and resulted in such fantastic moments. Those genuine moments are what matter most, and they shine through in the photos every single time.

I know it can feel hard in those early postpartum days to think about newborn photos, but these images aren’t about being “camera ready.” They’re about connection. Holding your baby, watching your kids together, and remembering what this felt like—not just what it looked like.

Baby Archie, welcome to the world. You are so loved already, and it was such an honor to capture these first moments with your family. Take a look at a few of my favorites from this North Kingstown newborn session below!

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? 😉

Love is Love | In Home Newborn Photographer Massachusetts

Give me all of the snuggly, loving parents. Give me the single parent, the mom and dad, the two moms, the two dads. Big families with tons of siblings, first babies to come home. Love is love is love a million times over and that is what I live to capture for all of my clients. This newborn session was absolutely the perfect example of that. When mom reached out and said she and her wife wanted a newborn session in their home I was so excited. Especially, and I will be honest here, because they said I could share the images afterward. So often my LGBTQ families won’t let me share images – which I totally understand, but makes me sad. These two moms were ADORABLE and so so freaking funny. I remember laughing so much during their session.

Baby Madison was chubby and smily and pretty much perfect. She was a little different in that she was awake for most of the session which was awesome. It’s always an added bonus to get eyes open and sleeping images during a newborn session. It’s not something I normally TRY to get (that old adage about never waking a sleeping baby ) unless baby needs to eat but it’s a nice surprise when it happens. We were able to get such cute interaction shots – check out the nose boop below! We also got some adorable images with the newly promoted big fur sibling as well which was so awesome. I welcome all fur siblings as long as they are well trained – big animals plus tiny babies don’t always work. But this one was ADORABLE.

Towards the end Madison did drift off a little bit so it really ended up being the best of both worlds. <3

Sibling Newborn Session | Rhode Island Newborn Photographer

I have said before I love newborn sessions with siblings. First babies are always fun but it’s no secret I adore the siblings. And sometimes I extra adore the siblings when they are as awesome as this one was. Being an older sibling, M was MORE than ready to show off her new little baby brother She was so incredibly adoring and loving and sweet with him. Even at their original consultation before the session, she was already excited about the baby so when I got there and she was getting to hold and snuggle him? The BEST. Mom and dad were also over the moon with their new baby boy (and I dont think I’ve ever seen a mini clone of a parent quite like this little guy hahaa!)

We spent a good time of their storyteller session capturing fun and beautiful family photos – even incuding one with one of the cats!! I adore seeing how babies fit into family dynamics both literally and figuratively. Finding the room to hold them in the family group photos while everyone else gathers around is so much fun. I love the little squeezes and looks that can happen. The sweet looks, the laughs, the pure love and joy in that family grouping. The life of the family has changed so much in such a short period of time, and so so very completely that the emotions that come out are just the best. After family photos it was time for solo baby cuteness. I mean – the sleeping stuff was good but check out that face and those expressions he was giving me during some awake time as well!
