Rhode Island Family Holiday Portraits in Warwick

What a cute one this is! When one of your favorite couples comes back to you year after year for family portraits…that’s when you know you love your job! I photographed Heather and Conner for their engagement, wedding, holiday photos and now two rounds of maternity portraits. I’ll leave newborn sessions to those magic making experts though! I was so excited they wanted to make the trip down from Massachusetts, and had to cross everyones favorite bridge under construction, to come hang with me. I was even more excited when I got to see their son, Gabriel, for the first time since he was just a tiny dude. We had a great time frolicking in the leaves and catching up on all the wonderful things happening in our lives!

The holidays are the perfect time for family photos to send to your loved ones in Christmas cards or to frame and put on the mantel. I’ve still got my work cut out for me to get my favorite little buddy to smile for me!

Roger Williams Park Family Portraits

It’s always exciting to see my couples years after their wedding as their family grows! I saw Heather and Connor in the Spring for maternity portraits, and now in the Fall for a Christmas card session at the beautiful Roger Williams Park in Cranston, Rhode Island. The air was a bit chilly, but the sun was shining and it was one of the warmer days in November.

I just loved meeting their little one and it was fantastic to see these two again!

East Bay Rhode Island Maternity Session

A little something different on the blog today! It seems like it’s been ages since I started portrait photography with the expectation of working with families and newborn babies. Well, it turned out very quickly babies were NOT my calling but the couples in love having them were! I don’t do many maternity sessions, but when one of your favorite past brides reaches out to say they’re expecting, I could’t be more excited!

I met Heather and Connor back in 2018 for their engagement session in Newport and their wedding at Lake Pearl in Wrentham. We became instant friends and I enjoyed every minute of their wedding. Not only are they kind and caring people, but loads of fun! We’ve kept in touch over the years and I was thrilled to hear they were expecting a little boy. We walked around the East Bay area to find some abandoned train tracks and ocean views, with Spring blossoming all over. It was a little windy, but no worries at all, these two are always up for an adventure, plus we all got excited for the families of ducks that were close to shore!

So while I won’t be doing their newborn photos (the beauty of referrals, that one takes a specialist!) I can’t wait to see them and continue to capture their family as it grows! Congrats Heather and Connor, and it was SO GOOD to see both of you (we definitely have to do a double date soon)!

East Greenwich Graduation Portraits

When your best friend graduates college you have to celebrate with some awesome photos! Her supportive husband Mike (you guys have totally seen them all over the blog before!) and their adorable Golden Retriever, Millie, joined in for the fun too! We went to a cute little spot near my house that had a variety of nice grass/ woods, stone features and gorgeous Spring evening light. That filtered through the trees sun glow is my favorite light to photograph in.

Sabrina + Mike will be moving to California next month and I’ll miss them like crazy so I’m glad we got to do this last shoot! You know I’ll be flying out there to visit them and capture more of their memories and probably a lot more, because…vacation! I love you guys and will miss you! Congratulations on your graduation, Sabrina!
