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

Beach Maternity Session | Rhode Island Maternity Photographer

Beach maternity sessions take on all different looks depending on when and where you are doing them in Rhode Island. One of the things I pride myself on with my sessions is being able to customize them to my clients. Now for studio photographers that might mean doing a whole set and props etc. But for me, that means we make the session at the location of your choosing, on a day of your choosing (as long as it works) and in a style of your choosing. When mom and dad mentioned that they weren’t totally sure where to do their maternity session but were both kite surfers, I knew it had to be a beach maternity setting. Especially once they mentioned bringing the dog along. But which kind of beach?? Which worked the best?

We ended up on her suggestion settling on the Pheasant Hill beach in Portsmouth. If you’ve never been there it’s not the easiest place to find since it’s down through a neighborhood in a hidden drive. But once you get there you have gorgeous views of the Mt Hope bridge, the Hog Island Lighthouse and a beautiful rock-filled beach. It was the PERFECT location for them. Her tank dress and converse, his plaid shirt and jeans, it just worked so well against the beach setting. It was relaxed, natural, casual just like their session. We strolled the length of the beach getting the Mt Hope bridge in the background, got some images under a fun pier at one end of the beach, and even got a little different look going up on a walking path. On the beach it was very neutral and rocky, and on the walking path it was bushes and beautiful greens.

Combining all of these things with a gorgeous perfect belly made for a truly unique, truly them session.

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.

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.*

Sunset Maternity Session | Narragansett Maternity Photography

There is something about the end of summer in Rhode Island. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful all year round, but the end of summer is special. Golden sunsets, the hint of breezes, beautiful skies and warm(ish) water. To get to photograph a maternity session in this time period makes it even more fun. And to photograph a couple as sweet and loving and amazing as this one, well that pretty much made it perfect.

Beach maternity sessions are one of my most requested sessions. Whether it’s clients on babymoons to Newport or people living in the area, everyone in the ocean state wants photos with…well…the ocean. 🙂 These two were no exception. Mom had grown up in Rhode Island and the couple had moved back to the area recently from NYC, expecting their first baby girl. C&P wanted images in one of their favorite places in the world – by the water. We spent an hour or so together going up and down the shoreline for some very different looks as as the sun set, and then mom got right into the water – check out the laughing photos as small waves hit her!

It was such a wonderful evening getting to know and photograph them. It made going back a few weeks later to photograph their precious newborn baby girl even better. By booking a newborn session and adding on the maternity everything got that much easier and more relaxed.
