For those of you who know me personally, you (for sure) know that I HATE the winter and HATE being cold (which is basically anything below 65-68 degrees for me, haha).  BUT, I will be the first to say that I LOVE snow portraits outside.  So because of that, I will bravely face any cold to capture an adorable family like the one you see below.  We headed to a local Rhode Island park for the family portraits and we found the perfect little spot.

Rhode Island Family Photo Series

I was so excited when the mom mentioned that not only does she have two amazing kiddos, she was also bringing her puppy!  And as many (or all you know), I’m slightly obsessed with dogs! 😉  I mean, just look at the way the wind was blowing his fur <3 <3

Family Photo Series in RI, MA & CT

And of course, family portraits is the perfect opportunity to snag a little bit of quality with the kids separately. 😉

Family Portraits for Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut

I just love beautiful families! <3

I’ve known this adorable family for many years now.  I started photographing them when this mama was pregnant with their first daughter and now, 3 months ago, I met their newest addition to their family!  And just how sweet are they all?!  Big sis couldn’t have been more proud and I just love how personable and happy she is!  This family is seriously the nicest and sweetest.  I always know I’ll have a wonderful time when they are coming to the studio.

This family is part of my Baby Plan families so I get to see and photograph them every 3 months!  I’m so excited to see Miss *K* reach all her milestones in front of my lens. <3  I mean, does my job get any cooler? 😉

Here’s just a handful of my favorites from her newborn session.  Her 3 month session is coming up next week so be sure to stay tuned for more photos!

“When we have each other, we have everything.”

I created these Petite Couture sessions many years ago, starting with my niece’s portraits.   And from then on, I was hooked.  These sessions are created and styled by me, everything from doing their hair, basic makeup application and then what they wear.

“I hope you never lose your sense of wonder…”

Growing up in today’s world, as a mom with two teenagers and a soon to be tween (even though I have 3 boys), I truly think childhood is so much harder these days than when we were growing up.  Don’t you think?  The whole purpose of these sessions is to empower these young ladies, give them a few hours of pampering, catering to them and to truly show how beautiful they are.  Creating a whole little world for JUST them, even if it’s only for a short time.

“May you never take one single breath for granted…”

“God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed…”

Even moreso these days.  Everything with Covid, being cooped up in the house.  Going only from your home and to/from school.  Many days, it can feel like we’re living in the movie “Groundhog Day”.  So what better way to celebrate these young ladies than with a session created JUST for them, right?!

“I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean…”

Meg and her mom came into my studio a couple of weeks ago.  They were so open-minded and excited with what I had to offer her to wear.  They were game for anything!  What I had in mind, it fit her PERFECTLY and I couldn’t have asked for a better session.  Meg was a complete natural in front of the camera.

“Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens…”

Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance…”

If you are interested in a Petite Couture session, please send me an email here and we can start planning a one of a kind portrait session for your loved one (AND these can even be a mother daughter or daughter/son as well.  Son dressed up in a button down shirt, with/without a tie or suspenders).  The possibilities are ENDLESS! 😉

“And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance…”

“I hope you dance, I hope you dance…”
