Baby Frankie is 1!!

sarah — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 19:52:39 +0000

Teeny baby Frankie has turned into a walking toddler! Hard to believe he’s one and his First Year photo sessions are wrapped up!! Sheba and John have taken to this parenting thing like a a bee to flowers. I’ve enjoyed watching the growing of Frankie over the last year but also of Sheba and John in their new role.

and a not so successful cake smash…. what’s up with these babies not being excited about cake?

Wow! Congrats Sheba and John (and the rest of your extended family!) for this milestone. He’s as adorable as ever and continues to amaze!

50th anniversary family photography

I was honored to be asked to come and photograph Michaela and her siblings while she is in town visiting. Michaela explained that she was the youngest (and only girl) of four. Her mom parents wanted an updated picture of the “kids”.
When I arrived at Michaela and sibling’s childhood home I was welcomed in to the excitement of Michaela’s parents 50th wedding anniversary celebration! The excitement and energy was contagious and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to capture the relationship not only between grown siblings but also individual families, the Whole Family, grandkids….. so much fun.

…and the two that started it all:

As I was heading out Michaela’s mom asked if we could do some pictures of cake cutting. She explained that they didn’t have a wedding and she’d really like to cut cake. Despite grandchildren protesting that it was before dinner – cake cutting and eating proceeded

I loved meeting all of you and can’t wait for you to see the rest of the pictures!
Michaela – I hope the rest of your trip is relaxing.

Beat the heat ~ Providence Family Photography

The lovely A contacted me to ask if we could arrange to do a family portrait session in their backyard… oh, and they live in Providence.
How much backyard can you have in Providence?
The answer: enough! The backyard is splendid and includes a resident bunny who is attracted to the overflowing vegetable garden. My favorite part might have been the black garage door though. And we fit all this in before the arrival of the heat that descended in full force this weekend!

I tell every family that I can’t wait to have an excuse to hang out with them and get to know them better. This family was another example of why I say that! I enjoyed spending the morning with this family from the slightly shy-momma lovin’ V to the kid snuggling-spider inspecting Dad!

Happy Fourth ’10

A day with family missing our brother who is off at bootcamp and making sure to eat an extra watermelon slice just for him! Hope your July Fourth is also fun and family filled!

These two have grown so much since last year! I really try and resist posting pictures of these two (despite the temptation!) but the cute factor combined with the opportunity to see how much they’ve changed (and how much they haven’t changed) was too much. Once a year it’s okay to succumb to the temptation…. at least that’s what I’m telling myself

Saturday Morning Family Photography

sarah — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 02:05:16 +0000

I have found that relaxed no-rush photography sessions lead to some great times and often a budding friendship. I was so excited to learn that Sam and Mark won a Brown Eyed Photography portrait session at the East Side Nursery School silent auction at the end of March. I’ve seen Sam and Mark in passing several times but never at a time conducive to chit-chat. I knew their session would provide that… and I was not let down! Sam and Mark are authentic in their interactions and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to get to know them better.

Oh, and did I mention that their family includes three delicious daughters?!?

and after a brief stop to the equally delicious Three Sisters (ice cream, of course!):

Sam and Mark – I enjoyed every moment getting to know your family a little better. I’ll be on the look out for another excuse to hang out with you all soon!

Triplet boys are growing!

sarah — Mon, 03 May 2010 18:28:27 +0000

One very awesome momma asked me to come back and hang out with these three 1-year-olds. They’ve grown so much since their six month session!

Don’t worry, it wasn’t all fun and games. The boy’s momma said she wanted the above outfits, their dad wanted a different outfit but by the time we were in dad’s preferred outfit….

We spent a while after the boys were tucked in to their high chairs (yes, three of them lined up in the kitchen) with a snack discussing pros and cons of being a first time mom of three and the drawbacks to only having two arms

I loved having an excuse to see these three again and their mom!

Kristen and Leo

After a full day of KangaMamas babywearing models I squeezed in a couple minutes with Kristen, KangaMamas leader, and soon-to-be-mom-of-two!

And the soon-to-be-big-brother Leo hammed it up for me too!

KangaMamas, RI Babywearing group

KangaMamas, organized by Kristen, had a day of babywearing photoshoots at Roger Williams with yummy food donated by Panera Bread. It was exciting to meet all these babywearing families and capture the closeness of the relationship between parent and child.

A very very fun day. Babywearing is such a special time for parents and babies and it was very rewarding to capture images of this sweet time of life.

Ethan and Poppy

Ethan and Poppy met up with me along with their momma on a very hot day- on a 92-degrees-record-high-early-April-day (also known as yesterday). I know I’ll be complaining (maybe) in a couple months but yesterday’s heat felt glorious… and Ethan and Poppy didn’t complain.

I love Ethan and Poppy’s relationship shining through!
