The P Family- Narragansett, RI Family Portraits

Deb wanted to make sure her family portraits reflected the place her family loves the most-- down at their family's beach house in Narragansett. We met on a *bright* sunny day and had some more traditional photos done before everyone jumped in the water and splashed away. So. much. fun!!!! The portraits of them running in the water are my faves. I love them so much, I considered having as a canvas in my own house :) IMG_6481

The G Family- Cranston, RI Family Portraits

I love this family! I have worked with Lisa for a few years (and we all grew up in Cranston just a few minutes from each other). Lisa told me everyone was going to be together for a short time in July. Her brother lives in Germany so we were going to do our best to get a variety of family photos while they were all together! Here's just a few. IMG_5433

Leah- Cranston, RI Portrait Photography, Rhode Island Family Photos

My summer mini sessions were a success! I was able to capture quite a few cuties on two beautiful June days. I'm so excited to share these photos of Leah. She is three and a dream to photograph! Love that hair bow too! IMG_1870

To All the Dads- Cranston, RI Portraits, Cranston Photography

Jon is my son's namesake (his last name is my son's first name). Although he is my husband's second cousin, the two of them are like brothers. Jon was up from Virginia for a visit and asked if they could come by for an updated family portrait. Dads booking portraits = the best. He adores his three kids and there were plenty of great outtakes from the session (bunny ears for days…) IMG_9632 IMG_9586

Baby E- Johnston, RI Portrait Photography

Baby E gave us a run for our money! She was fast asleep when I arrived and we did maybe one shot and BAM! She was wide awake. I think she was wondering what this large black lens was doing. Her little blue eyes were focused on me for about two hours. We finally got her to sleep and then she was a dream to pose. After I left, her mom texted me that she slept for hours! That's always the way! :) IMG_8146

The C Family- Rhode Island Family Photographer, RI Family Portraits

Melissa's family is soooo sweet. The girls are funny, spunky and full of energy. We did Elsa twirls, ran around, posing each way Gabriella suggested ("I've got an idea…") and tried our best to get a pony tail in the air shot (success)! I think this is the 4th time we've worked together, so it really just brings to mind how much I like seeing families year after year. I watch the kids grow and keep up with genuinely nice people.

The B Family- Cranston, RI Family Portraits, RI Photographer, RI Portrait Photography

Melissa and I used to teach together but have been able to keep in touch through photography. Last summer, she contacted me to do some lifestyle newborn photos and this mama was cool as a cucumber. I went to their house the day after she got home. I remember coming home from the hospital and felt like it was just a blur, so I admired her for being so on top of things! I was excited to be back with them for Tyler's first birthday/family photos and we caught some beautiful flowers. It's pretty clear to me that Tyler adores his big sister and I think the feeling is mutual. IMG_7682

Cooper- Cranston, RI Portrait Photography, Cranston, RI Children's Photographer

Alicia is the yin to my artistic yang! She did a beautiful mural on my studio wall (which I will photograph someday soon!) We talk about art all the time, so I love being able to work with her son (who coincidentally takes art class with my son). There were a lot of outtakes from this session-- it quickly went from photos to dance party USA which gives me some hope that my taste in music isn't half bad. IMG_7205

Parker is 1- Cranston, RI Photography, Rhode Island Photographer, Rhode Island Cake Smash Photography

I apologize in advance for the cuteness overload. Parker is such an awesome kiddo…and you have to know I credit his mom with my first photography lesson. We lived together after college and she was always telling everyone to pose "chin down" when I took their photos. Hahaha! Fast forward a few *maybe more than a few* years...I photographed Parker's newborn session. When mom called to tell me he was turning one…I knew exactly what theme to do (little monsters-- since that is the theme of his room). Heather wasted no time in getting in touch with Kate Caito to get some cake ideas down for a monster smash! Kate literally made the cake have fur. Parker did the best job smashing the cake (I have to say, many times babies are not at all interested in smashing a cake, much to their parent's dismay!) I didn't have to worry with this guy. I was finding little bits of green frosting around the studio for days and each time I did, I smiled! IMG_6797
