Snowy Maternity Photos in East Greenwich | Rhode Island Maternity Photography

Snow is something we are familiar with in Rhode Island, and there is something magical about a snowy maternity session! It wasn’t a lot that day, but the quiet, soft blanket of white, the crisp air, and the cozy feeling of being wrapped up warm—it’s a perfect backdrop for celebrating a growing family. And when you get to capture repeat clients? Even better. There’s a familiarity, a comfort, and a shared excitement that makes the session feel extra special.

This maternity session took place in the family’s own backyard in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Big sister brought such joy, laughing, and snuggling with mom and dad. Those moments—the little hands on the belly, curious glances, and quiet smiles—are exactly what make maternity sessions so meaningful.

Mom looked gorgeous in both a flowy long dress and a shorter one, and we kept the session playful and relaxed. Sometimes the best shots are the spontaneous ones: a twirl in the snow, a giggle at the camera, or a gentle kiss on mom’s cheek. I love capturing these moments—they’re real, personal, and completely reflective of your family.

Working with repeat clients is always such a treat. I get to see the growth of your family, the connections you’ve built, and the love that already exists. And having a big sister involved adds so much emotion to the session. The anticipation, the gentle protectiveness, and the excitement for the new baby are all there in each photo.

If you are thinking about a maternity session in winter, I always suggest cozy layers, warm shoes, and some patience with the little ones—but don’t worry, it’s worth it! The snow adds a magical, timeless element to the images that you’ll treasure for years to come.

Take a look at some of my favorite moments from this East Greenwich backyard snow session below!

Fall Family Session Fun at Brown University

I first met the L family a few years ago and was so happy when they came back for a fall family photo session. We started in their beautiful new home on the east side for some fun family photos in the living areas. From the gorgeous blue wall in the office to the fun huge window seat in the playroom to even their stairs and a doorway. We used a variety of places which is one of my favorite parts about shooting in clients’ homes. The images are truly unique to them!!

From there we headed over to the quad at Brown University It was a beautiful day with some of the fall leaves dotting the grass and was so vibrant with students and people. But the nice part is because of the size we were able to do photos and make it feel like they had the whole place to themselves! We played some silly games on the sidewalks and in the grass, we threw leaves, we ran around – all in all a pretty typical family session with me. The bonus of fall family photos too – you’re much less likely to get sweaty and hot!! So we can do all of those things and no one ends up red faced or shiny 🙂 The kids were adorable, the parents super in love with each other, and my favorite part – we got images that are going to bring them right back to this moment in time when they look at them, no matter how big or old those kids get.

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? 😉

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

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.
