Autumn maternity portraits. Rhode Island photographer creates outdoor natural light pregnancy portraits at Rodger Williams Park.

I bought this pumpkin a few weeks ago. It was pouring rain and I had just straightened my hair, but I was determined. I pulled into the local flower stand. I was late to a shoot and really didn't have the time for pumpkin shopping (nor was I happy about all of my hair straightening going to waste) but I had it in my head that I needed pumpkins for my upcoming sessions. What was autumn after all with out pumpkins? After carefully examining shape and size, I carried my giant order one by one to the counter getting dirt all over my white shirt. The cashier dropped one of my carefully selected gourds and it shattered everywhere. Back out in the pouring rain to pick a new one! I finally made it out of there with two giant, dirty, wet pumpkins... and three weeks later, I finally got some use out of the darned things! This couple was so much fun to photograph. They were gorgeous and up for anything. In fact, dad to be had so many ideas I didn't know what to do with him! Best of all, they loved my pumpkin! They actually almost stopped to pick one up on the way. It was destined to be a good shoot. They are coming back to the studio when it opens in a few weeks for the studio portion of their shoot so this isn't the last you'll see of them. Enjoy your preview :0)

Baby F, round two! Rhode Island on location natural light newborn photographer creates newborn portraits in Cape Cod Massachusetts

Here is preview round two for you. This little man was three weeks and, if I recall, 11 pounds when I came back to visit and he was twice as cute as the first time!! I could seriously eat his cheeks!

Rhode Island in home newborn portraits. Newborn photographer Heidi Hope Photography creates custom newborn pictures in Rhode Island and Massachusett.

Another preview I am just dying to share with you. This sweet newborn was a tiny little girl. A big difference from Monday's 9 1/2 pounder, this baby girl was less than 7 pounds when I photographed her today. She was so good in front of the camera. You may remember mom and dad from their maternity portraits a few short weeks ago. Well baby girl G was just as photogenic as her mommy. I have so many new favorites I can't even count. I admittedly went a little wild shopping before todays shoot. I was feeling festive (as you can see below!) and wanted to give my photos a fresh feel for the fall. Lots more fun to be had this season so keep your eye on the blog for all of the cuteness. Enjoy your preview mom and dad. Thanks for choosing me to capture this special time in your lives!
