Rhode Island Family Photography in Providence, RI

I was thrilled to discover that Erin’s family won the family session at Child’s Play silent auction last spring. Erin and Justin have an adorable 4 year old daughter who is full of life and an equally fun-loving 1 year old son. When Erin saw Sarah and Joe’s rainy session they fell in love with the colors of Prospect Park in Providence. We decided to skip the torrential rain part so postponed our session for a week – well worth it!

hot baby!

The brand new Elizabeth arrived in time to take advantage of this hot hot weather for her baby session. What’s more? She also came home to a house that has an even hotter enclosed porch with a window fan blowing out (read sound machine). I don’t think I could have designed a more perfect location if I wanted to!

Elizabeth’s parents, Tricia and Paul, were just as friendly and fun to spend time with as they were during their maternity shoot when they were worried the baby would come early… Tricia’s brother was married out west about two weeks before the baby’s estimated date of arrival! Tricia said at the time that she was thinking lots of: “take your time, baby!” thoughts… and it seems to have worked! Wedding travels happened and the baby stayed put until well after the wedding. She seems just as easy going as her parents.

Baby Frankie is 1!!

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

sarah — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:37:39 +0000

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!

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!

one month old twins ~ Destination: Nairobi

sarah — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 22:59:34 +0000

These two sweet boys are learning that the world is big enough to accommodate their stretching limbs at one month old. The solution? We swaddle them and take their eyes-wide-open looking inquisitively at the world around them.

This family is only in the area for a limited time. The new parents flew stateside from Nairobi before the babies arrived on this side of the belly. All four family members will be flying back home very soon! I was so glad that we were able to connect before their journey!

KangaMamas, RI Babywearing group

sarah — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:30:35 +0000

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.

Jack is 1!!

sarah — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 11:32:03 +0000

Jack, who was once so teeny tiny, and then surprised me with his smiles is now doing all kinds of one-year-old things. He’s walking, he’s snacking in his stylin’ jogger stroller, he’s attempting to walk the dog… and still looking as adorable as ever!

full of puppy love… really the dog, I’m told is in his early teens. I’m not convinced. He was full of energy and made a very handy stool for Jack to push up on when he was done sitting next to his friend.

And the whole family- including Murphy!
