Perry Family - Beach Session | Rhode Island, Narragansett Family Beach Photographer

It couldn't have been a more perfect evening on the beach in Narragansett last weekend when I met up with the Perry family.  Krista was referred to me from a friend/client and I am very thankful for the recommendation and kind words from those of you who pass my name along to friends & family who are looking for a family photo session.

Our session on Sunday evening might have started a little rocky for the little guy -- he had just woken up from a late afternoon nap -- and it took a while for him to wake up and realize how much fun a photo session at the beach was!  :)  Big sister was right into pictures -- and finding sea shells!

The rock jetty's and the sand dunes made for gorgeous, natural backdrops for this beautiful family.

Thank you, again, Perry Family for having me capture your family's memories!
It was great to meet you after all of our email correspondence in planning your beach session.

Your gallery will be live SOON!

Here is the sneak peek of this gorgeous family!

Fairy Princesses ... Lollipops .... Balloons .... Cupcakes ... Wands & Tiaras

What could possibly be better?

I had such a fun time with three sisters and their cousin last weekend at their home & garden in Providence.  (The wee little sister was still napping when I got there -- I will showcase lil' Sammi soon!)

These little girls received a gift certificate at Christmas from their Aunt.  Jen and I came up with the idea to throw a tea party for the girls and dress them up for a fun afternoon.  I can say with 99% certainty that they had a pretty great afternoon and we got some pretty unforgettable and magical photos!

I probably helps that I have been photographing these girls and family for the last 18 months and the girls have definitely gotten to know me and my camera, how I work & laugh with them,  and what I mean when I say, "Give me your eyes!"

We had a whole lot of fun in backyard garden - it was a perfect spot for our session and was great for the kids to be comfortable, to have all our the accessories, outfits and wash clothes handy!  Not to mention the stuffed animals for reassurance and a swing set to take a break ;)

There are oodles and oodles of images to look through and edit -- enjoy your sneak peek :)

Thank you, once again, Jen & Steve -- and Auntie -- for having me capture this sweetness!!

A. Family @ the beach :) | Rhode Island Family Beach & Child Photographer

One night last week I traveled to Bonnet Shores Beach Club in Narragansett to photograph the A. Family -- it was a perfect night for a beach session!  Sunset, clear skies ... empty beach!  Perfect Perfect Perfect!

And despite lil' B. having a minor meltdown, we were able to get some great shots!

Here are a few:

B+B Wedding | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer

Bethany & Ben were married in the White Mountains of NH on June 11, 2011.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Ben since I was 12 years old as I have been best friends with his sister for all those years.

Kat's little brother Ben is all grown up and married now and I was honored to be the one to photograph their magical day. 

I am still editing their full gallery, but here is a sneak peek at their creative, brightly decorated, funky & fun wedding that they designed and decorated themselves.  It was unique, simple, festive and more importantly, perfectly-Bethany-and-Ben ... right down to their matching Converse sneakers, yellow for the bride and green for the groom.

Enjoy the preview :)

EBCAP - East Bay Community Action Program | Newport, Rhode Island Event Photographer

On June 9, 2011 I had the pleasure of photographing the EBCAP Awards Gala and Fundraiser at Castle Hill Inn in Newport, RI.

East Bay Community Action Program is based in Newport & East Providence.   The mission of EBCAP "is to provide high quality, comprehensive, and accessible health and human services to assist people to achieve their fullest potential." 

Their 8th Annual Seaside Gala was held at beautiful & picturesque Castle Hill Inn along the coast & Ocean Road, facing the Newport Bridge.  It was a very hot & humid day  -- the breeze along the ocean cooled off the temperature for the evening ... and then a crazy, semi-wild storm blew through and forced the cocktail hour indoors and the tent sides closed for the evening.

Without permissions to post individuals' images, I can share some of the photos from the evening to give you a look at the event.  I was definitely my pleasure to photograph the Gala and to be a part of creating memories of the evening.

Enjoy!

B Family

I lovelovelovelove LOVE return families!!

I love seeing how the little ones have grown since I last photographed them and when you have fun and easy-going parents like Jen & Steve it makes photographing 3 little girls feel more like a walk in the park than actual "work".  

And it made this perfectly lovely late spring sunny Saturday morning 

AT THE PARK 

a breeze and lots of FUN!

I first met Jen & Steve over a year ago for maternity pictures before #3 Baby Girl was born .... you can check out that HERE.

And then again when little Sammi arrived ... you can see that HERE.

And, to round out the year, they had fall pictures taken as well at Roger Williams.

You can see our fun afternoon HERE for that :)

And for their most recent session from Roger Williams this past weekend ... I present to you three sweet little girls who have really gotten used to me & my camera and were busy, smiley, sweet, funny, afraid of the geese wandering about ... and we almost lost a wet/soapy sandal to the river :)

Jen & Steve, thank you again for having me capture your family memories!

It is my pleasure :)  And I can not wait for the princess - fairy - tea party we are planning for July!!
