Local flooding of the Pawtuxet river in Warwick Rhode Island.

I grew up eating globs of cookie dough from Dear Hearts while throwing stones off of the bridge and into the Pawtuxet River. We have had some impressive weather lately, and when I heard that the Pawtuxet was reaching record flood stages, I had to grab my camera and catch some of history being made. The first photos are from Pawtuxet Village (right near our rehearsal dinner spot!), where the Pawtuxet meets Narragansett Bay. The second are from a spot on Elmwood ave where the bridge is closed. Pardon my shaky hands. Pouring rain, slow shutter speed, plus holding an umbrella with one hand, does not for good pictures make!

6 month old twins! New England baby photographer creates studio baby portraits for 6 month old twin boys.

These two cuties came to visit the studio this weekend and I had so much fun with mom and dad trying to get both of their attention at the same time! They had such distinctly different personalities, it was fun to watch. We got lots of adorable individual shots as well as some portraits together that are so sweet. Twins are definitely double the cuteness!

Baby E, on the move! Rhode Island portrait photographer creates in studio first birthday baby portraits

Baby E and his parents came to visit on Saturday and boy did he give me a workout! He was so adventurous, we had to be very creative to catch him on camera! At the end of the session we finally cleared everything out of the middle of the studio and just let him run wild. That's when we got some of the biggest smiles. I can't wait for the warm (and dry!) weather so we can start heading outdoors for these sessions.

It was so much fun to see you all again L family. Enjoy your preview!

Baby girl O, 6 months old. Rhode Island and Massachusetts baby photographer creates 6 month old baby portraits in warwick ri portrait studio

This weekend was lots of fun as I got to spend my Saturday with four sweet babies at the studio. You may remember this adorable baby girl from her newborn session here. This time the family came down to RI to visit me at the studio and I was so thrilled to see them all again. O is still a little doll baby like the weeks after she was born. Big blue eyes and lots of smiles. I know I say it all of the time, but I just love 6 month olds! Enjoy your preview mom and dad!

Newborn baby boy! Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn photographer creates studio newborn portraits.

This little man came to visit the studio last week and he was awake and ready to party! What do you do with a newborn who won't sleep??? Well, I must say, my mom's beautiful knit cocoons came in handy! Snuggled up inside was pretty much the only place he would sleep outside of his parents' arms. I just adored his sweet little profile and spikey hair. What a cutie!

Easter 2010. A few pics from home!

I don't believe I've brought my camera home since January. So much for my resolution! I enjoyed a Sunday off this week and spent the day with S and G gardening and painting eggs for Easter. G has not been liking the camera lately, but today she was a total ham! At 1 1/2 years old, she sang the whole alphabet on camera and actually flashed me a few smiles while I was documenting her work. And hard at work she was! This girl could color for hours. Here are some of my favorites from our Easter egg painting.

Newborn Twins. Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn baby photographer creates studio newborn portraits for twin girls.

I was so excited to share this preview with you. Twin girls E and S were so much fun to work with yesterday. They were so easy, I didn't even need my assistant! Mom and dad got little sleep the night before, but I bet they'll think it was worth it once they see their sleepy sweethearts in these photos. The garden was pink this week which was perfect for them. The one of them in the basket might be one of my favorite pictures of all time! Enjoy your preview mom and dad. Lots of cuteness to come!

Baby Girl A, 5 months old. New england baby photographer creates natural light studio baby portraits.

This little cutie pie came to visit the studio and I didn't want her to leave. She was so sweet and happy. I just love this age! Mom brought lots of props for me to play with. The purple blanket was made by A's grandmother and the little sailor suit is for dad who is a sailor. Thanks for coming to visit yesterday mom. I loved meeting you and A!
