Nola- Rhode Island Portrait Photography
/I may a little biased but my niece is like a little doll. Her smile and giggle are infectious. My sister-in-law, Sara, and I had a great time dressing Nola up and she didn't seem to mind bit :)
E is one- Big sister/little sister portrait
/Oh those little cheeks! Miss E came to visit for her first birthday portrait and her big sister was very proud of her. She helped me through the whole session and my favorite photos were the two girls and their mom together. Such a special time.
T is One- Cranston, RI Portrait Photography, RI Children's Photography
/This little guy was one of my first studio newborn sessions, so it was great to have him back in the studio with his mom's crafty cake making skills. I happened to mention a tin tub would be a fun end to the session and lo and behold, they happened to have one that was very important to their family. Family heirloom and artifacts make a session that much more meaningful! Love it!
The H Family- Foster, RI Family Photography
/This family- love, love, LOVE them! Cooper is my little guy's best bud and Alicia is my work best friend! We have more laughs throughout the day. I feel really lucky to enjoy my "day job" and still get to have a photography business on the weekend. All of my clients are flexible in helping me make this work. Alicia is really creative and we scouted locations and thought about it for a long time. On a whim, I said, let's go to Foster! So she and Wayne drove around and found some cool spots. However, our favorite setting of the day was a dead end dirt road. I took one of my favorite mother/son shots there. I always look forward to photographing the same families over and over because they just grow more comfortable with the process. We walked away with tons of shots this time around- here are a few faves!
The C Family- Cranston, RI Family Portraits
/How can you not appreciate a family with a sense of humor that dabs at the end of their session? I am truly behind on posting, as this was four months ago, but I loved the goofy nature of this session. So easy, so laid back, so MUCH FUN! Thanks, Kate, for always having my back and helping me plan photo sessions with nothing but a description like "I like chalk. Can we do a chalk backdrop?"
S and R's Valentine's Day Mini Session- Cranston, RI Photography
/Scarlett and Raleigh came in to do a quick little Valentine's Day session and Scarlett showed Raleigh the ropes. He wasn't a fan of my studio lights so Scarlett did a great job giving him toys to play with so he would be more interested in that than me :) Great job, Scarlett! Now taking applications for assistants... hahah!
S's Family Studio Session- Cranston, RI Studio Session
/S stopped by with mom and dad to update their family photos and she brought her spunky little personality. I've been photographing her since she was born and I can't wait to plan her 4th birthday session!
The Z Siblings
/These three sweet kids pulled off a surprise for their mom after the holidays. We originally did a session and the weather did not cooperate. We tried to reschedule but with the kids away at college, it wasn't working out so we secretly hatched a plan. They snuck out of the house to get Chipotle and we did this session. I tagged their mom on FB and their parents were shocked! It was really fun to do this and they are really awesome "kids."

Fall holiday sessions- Part 1
/I wanted to offer something a little bit different this year so I went with a more urban setting for my Rhode Island holiday mini sessions. Normally I have a more rural farm setting but I know from personal experience with my own engagement photos, how much the city adds to a photos. The skyline, the buildings, the colors-- they make for a beautiful palette. Each family had their own style and I just really enjoyed seeing their personalities shine through.

Jeremy is 5- Cranston, RI Portrait Photography
/Jeremy stopped by the studio for a few new portraits. His eyes are the most beautiful shade of blue. I think my favorite thing about these photos is that Paw Patrol made it in. Can't have a five year old without his trusty toys! Don't ever be hesitant to include your child's favorite book or toy in the photos. It will be a great reminder down the line.
The T Family- Wicked Tulips, Johnston, RI
/I love that I can call my friend Julie with crazy ideas and she's A OK with it. Like this time, when I told her to wake her kids up very early on a Saturday, drive an hour and meet me to do photos in the rain at a tulip farm! First of all, no one should ever listen to someone who says wake your kids up hahaha! It did turn out to be the perfect setting. Even though it was drizzling, the field was empty and the kids had the whole show garden to themselves. I loved taking their portrait and I ended up going back to grab a few of my son the next day. Be sure to check out Wicked Tulips next year. You don't want to miss it!
Izzy- Rhode Island Lifestyle Newborn, Cranston, RI Family Photography
/This family is beautiful inside and out. I grew up with Michael and photographing his family has been so much fun. They ended up ordering a family portrait as a large canvas for over their fireplace and I received a photo of the final product. It looks great-- don't be afraid to order large canvases. They are such a statement piece for your home!
