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

June 06, 2015/ stephanie

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.

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.

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

May 31, 2015/ stephanie

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!

Sosi is 2- Rhode Island Children's Photography, Rhode Island Children's Photographer, East Greenwich, RI Photography

May 30, 2015/ stephanie

Sosi is one adorable little gal. The weather for this session was less than ideal…a little cold, a little not-what-we-were-expecting-the-first-week-of-May…but it didn't matter. She was all smiles! We did these in her backyard and I think that some people underestimate the value of doing photos at their own home. Her mom, Kel, and I knew she would be comfortable and there was a lot of time to haul some large props (read: big bear) out to the woods. We also took out the tricycle, plasma car and other stuffed animals, but I've found that my favorite way to capture kids is just as they are! Happy birthday, Sosi…or shall I say, Emmett's future prom date???
