Maternity: Whitney + Chris at Ocean House Beach in Watch Hill, RI

So many things about this session changed at the last minute. Like a lot of expecting parents, things can all of a sudden take a complete 180 degrees. We had planned to do their announcement, maternity, and newborn session but shortly after the end of the first trimester W + C realized they needed to move back home to be closer to their families. NO BIGGY. We get this, and we hear about it all of the time. So we switched things upโ€ฆ

Maternity: Bowen's Wharf Sunrise Maternity Announcement Session

Announcement sessions are one of our favorite ways to celebrate pregnancy. There's nothing like those first couple of months of where you find out you're going to be parents. We were so excited to celebrate this Newport couple with a sunrise announcement session at Bowenโ€™s Wharf. We had the glowiest, most dramatic light to play with, and all of Bowen and Bannister Wharfs to ourselvesโ€ฆ

Newborn: At-Home Lifestyle Session for Baby Avery

If this year has taught us anything, itโ€™s that home is truly where the heart is. When my families look back at their photos I want them to be transported right back to this time in their lives, in all its fleeting beauty. While you may want photos of your littles all bundled up, posed cute, picture perfect - your kids (and you, though you may not know it) will want to see photos of you reading to them, playing with them, feeding them, and most of all, trying to get them to listen when they wonโ€™tโ€ฆ

Family: Energy Like Annabelle - A Sunny Seaport Family Session

We had so much fun exploring the Seaport with Annabelle and her family. Our focus was on Miss Annabelle, and we started our session at the ICA, wound our way down Fan Pier Park, to the Boston Harbor, and ended just outside the Aquarium. We ALMOST made it to Christopher Columbus Park, but had way too much fun along the way twirling, doing arabesques, and laughing our butts off while making tik tok videosโ€ฆ

Family: Fun Fall Session at Minuteman National Park

Minuteman National Park is one of my favorite places to hold fall minis. The foliage is unbeatable and there are so many cute little spots for photos. This beautiful family opted for a full session which is always a lot of fun because we can really take our time and explore everything this amazing venue has to offer, and it gives us time to go with the flow which is so, so important for sessions with kids.

Our approach to family sessions is play oriented, and we always try to consider the perspective of the kiddo - where are they at, what do they need? - and we move at their pace. Trust me when I tell you that not all sessions with littles are easy, most parents really want their kids to listen 100% of the time (time they paid for!) and that doesnโ€™t always happenโ€ฆ.
