Zoe's Newborn Session- Cranston, RI Newborn Photography

I loved taking these photos. Kelli and I laughed through the whole session. Zoe was not in the mood to sleep and we tried everything. After a few hours, we were able to lull her into a deep sleep long enough to get the shots. Essentially it took us 2 and a half hours to get 15 minutes of shoot time :) Babies will do what babies want to do! Good thing we had Bray to keep us entertained! IMG_5276

The W Family- Cranston, RI Family Photography

One of the nicest parts of photographing families year after year is not only seeing kids get bigger but also the relationships you cultivate with parents. Elaina and I really hit it off and got our kids together recently and it really hit home how fortunate I am to do this job. I meet great people-- people who I probably would not have met. Elaina and her husband are from the mid-west, not far from where my husband was born so it seemed that we had a lot to talk about right from the start. Elaina asked Roger Williams if we could use the Botanical Gardens for our photos and I think they were a perfect way to capture a little boy who loves the park and loves flowers. IMG_1320-2

T and D are Engaged- Cranston, RI Engagement Photography

I thought about taking some time off from weddings to focus on children's work-- and then Trish got engaged. If you thought you could never find another person who enjoyed "September" by Earth, Wind and Fire or Michael Bolton as much as me, you thought wrong. We teach together so when the two of us are "on stage" together-- well, watch out. She keeps me laughing throughout the day and I knew we'd have a great time doing engagement pics. Dan loved the idea of doing the photos at NYLO, since that is where he proposed. We knew we needed one more special thing to make the pictures pop- so we asked our other friend Sue if we could borrow The Judge and it was just what we needed. Here are Trish and Dan-- including in front of a rusty bridge that Trish found, thus landing her a new job as my "location scout."

Cameron's Sun Soaked Session- North Kingstown, RI Family Photography

Julie and her family were so generous in offering up their home and photo session to allow me to record my promo.  I love the way this session turned out-- it was so easy, laid back and the photos really represent Cameron as a spunky 14 month old. There's still time to book before the warm weather goes away! IMG_0007

The R Family- Cranston, RI Maternity Photography

WOW is all I can say about this beautiful mama-to-be (again). You could tell how happy she is being the mother to one little boy and her joy just doubled this week when she delivered another healthy little boy. I was blown away by how easy going and relaxed this session was and I loved the color coordination. Her son was a natural for the camera and I love the shot of him with his daddy! Congratulations, Lauren and family! IMG_0157

Kara's Senior Session- Cranston, RI Senior Portrait Photography

Kara is my son's babysitter, as well as the daughter of a colleague. I just love her sweet, fun nature as well as her desire to have her senior photos done in her uniform! Kara is an "Ette" which is a dance team at her high school. As she enters her senior year, she's also entering her second year as an Ette and wanted to make sure her photos captured her in her red and white. I had a lot of fun with this session because, I too, am a Cranston West alumni and while I wore the red and white, it was for the band, not the dance team. I wish you a wonderful senior year, Kara!

Charlie Finn- Cranston, RI Newborn Photography

It's been a baby tsunami when it comes to my group of friends. I went to Julie and Matt's house to do this session and we literally did it in one corner of one room because it had beautiful window light! Tommy, proud big brother, was very eager to show off Charlie Finn (and show me how he could hold him) but Tommy was also very excited to ham it up a little on his own. IMG_0011-2
