Waite Family | Little Compton, Rhode Island Family Beach Photographer

Ahhh, I *almost* forgot!
I have been so busy with editing, ordering, my own personal life stuff, not to mention soccer games, karate & swimming practice for 2 busy boys and training for a 1/2 marathon that I just realized that I did not blog about the Waite family!  Sincere apologies, Heather!!

I met with Heather and her family last month on a Sunday afternoon at their favorite family beach spot in Little Compton, RI.  It was typical New England day when it went from cool and windy to sunny and a little humid.   This afternoon was no exception and there was definitely some wind that we had to deal with.

I have known Heather since .... oh, um ... Junior High!!  Yes.  Heather and I grew up and went to school together all high school when we both lived up in the mountain valleys of New Hampshire.  We both ran track & played field hockey together ... and actually both went to the same university!  When I moved back East a few years ago we connected on FaceBook and realized we lived very close to one another and have kept in contact ever since.

I was very excited when Heather asked if I would capture her family's memories ..... here are a few from their session on that chilly & windy LC afternoon :)

THANK YOU, WAITE FAMILY!!

Parker Family | Smithfield, Rhode Island Family & Chilldren Photographer

I was so excited when Sara contacted me to take her family's photos the other month and when we scheduled her session at her family's farm in northern Rhode Island.

I first met Sara and her husband waaaaaay back in the summer of 2004 in Cape Cod, MA through my best friend/college roommate.  Since 2004 we have kept in contact via emails, and throughout the years,  reunited at other milestones in our mutual BFF's life.  And now I finally get to photograph her family, which has doubled since we met ... 2 sweet little boys with big, bright eyes round out this super-nice family.

~*~

The day we had scheduled for Sara's pictures was definitely a classic New England day --- one hour it was sunny & clear, the next it was foggy & pouring rain.  Then it cleared again.  Then sunny.  Clear.  Fog.  Clouds.  SUN!  We decided to go for it and in the end only had to wait out the  sprinkles for a little while before we headed out onto the family farm. Sara's boys - hubby included - was a trooper walking through the wet grass.

As the session progressed and A & B warmed up to me, the rain ceased and we had clear & brightening skies.  The greens popped at the farm and with fall color just starting in the trees surrounding the pond it ended up being a near-perfect session :) 

Here are a few of their pictures from their session:

THANK YOU, PARKER FAMILY!!!!

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!

Sweet Sugar Princesses | Providence, Rhode Island Family & Children Photographer

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:
