We’re so excited about the upcoming Holidays that we’ve decided to celebrate every week from now until Christmas by offering a special deal.  Each deal is available for ONE WEEK ONLY.  After one week, the deal, and the opportunity, expires!

This week’s deal (expires at 5pm on Friday December 23rd).

50% off of a 3 month or 6 month session!

This week’s deal is for those expecting mamas due in May or June of 2012.  Sadly we can’t take any newborn sessions with due dates in May or June 2012.  I’ll be taking care of my own new arrival as I’m due at the end of May!  With my due date approaching, we can’t take any time sensitive sessions (like newborns) in May and then I will be taking a break from shooting in June.  Of course we are already getting inquiries for newborn sessions during those months and we’re so sad to have to say no to those sessions :0(  So we’ve decided to offer a special just for those families expecting in May and June.  Book a 3 month or 6 month session with us instead and receive 50% off of the session fee!  This 50% discount may be applied to either a Studio Weekday session or a Little Star session!

3 month sessions are a perfect way to capture baby while they are still in the infant stage. What’s fun about 3 months is that they are still teeny tiny, but they now smile in response to others!  3 month portraits are simple and classic and focus on the little features you love.  It is a great age to capture all of their personality and different expressions!

6 month sessions are my absolute favorite.  Babies can usually sit up at this age and the variety of poses and props we can use is endless.  While 3 months can be somewhat limited in posing, 6 months is a great age for more creative portraits and of course capturing that big smile and adorable personality!

How do I take advantage of this deal??

Call the studio (401-864-1919) this week to schedule and submit your session fee for a 3 month or 6 month session (mom’s due date must be in either May or June 2012) and receive 50% off.  Please note we are here to answer your calls Monday through Friday 9-5pm.  Calls during non business hours will be returned in the order received.  Session fee must be submitted before the deal expiration date above.

I loved photographing 3 month old baby K last week.  3 months is such a sweet age and we have had so many 3 month olds in to play over the past month.  K was so curious about the world around him.  He started off with great big smiles and by the end of our session, was totally worn out and ready for a nap.  That’s when it was fun to get some cuddly shots with mom and dad.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

I have been having so much fun with the 3 month old crowd lately!  Baby F was full of personality and so photogenic.  She loved having her portrait taken and smiled through our whole session.  Her grandmother brought her in for a surprise to mom and I can’t wait to hear mom’s reaction!  With such a gorgeous baby girl, their family is truly blessed.  Enjoy your sneak peek.

I have had the most amazing 3 month olds visit the studio lately.  Baby A was so curious and smiley.  She loved having her picture taken, playing with mom and dad, and singing songs.  We captured so many adorable expressions it was hard to choose favorites for the preview!  Enjoy your sneak peek.

3 months old is such a sweet age.  Baby K gave us the most adorable little smiles and was so inquisitive.  She even drifted off for a few sleepy “newborn style” shots towards the end of the session!  I loved capturing her bond with mom and dad and all of her teeny little baby features.  Enjoy your sneak peek mom and dad!

Baby B was certainly the smiley-est 3 month old I’ve ever photographed!  He just lit up with grins any time I looked at him.  And joy is contagious because I couldn’t help but smile our whole session as well.  I had so much fun capturing his happy little spirit!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Inspired by Heidi’s well deserved tropical vacation, we’ve put together a Spring what-to-wear guide for girls that coordinate nicely with some of the new props here at the studio.  For this what-to-wear we used pieces from the adorable crewcuts collection by  j.Crew.  Check out our other what-to-wear guides here and here.

I couldn’t wait to get started on this week’s previews. Any “creative type” can tell you that there are times we feel “stuck” and there are times we feel about ready to explode with ideas. In those stuck times I look for inspiration around me. I frequently browse flickr and pinterest along with each of the online retailers filling my inbox with ads every morning. I create a sort-of digital sketchbook out of anything that speaks to me. A photograph, the way the light filters through a window, a color pallet, a piece of shabby furniture, a pair of shoes I would die for. Anything really. I think admiring the beauty around us helps to shape our creativity in some way…. developing our taste as artists, and contributing to the overall style of our work. Sure it takes some time, but it certainly gets me out of my creative ruts when needed! Well I’m happy to say I’m experiencing the joy of a creative upswing these days. I feel full of ideas and short on time, but I’m really thrilled with the work that is coming out of all of it. I’ve been in total groove with maternities lately, baby’s have been oh-so-good to me, and even the toughest of newborns sessions are still ending up with a gallery I’m thrilled with!

Take this 3 month old for example. Baby G was born weighing only 3 pounds so the newborn session we planned with mom and dad never was. They instead came in for a 3 month session because they still wanted to capture him when he was an infant. By six months babies have grown so much, we didn’t want to miss these moments. 3 month sessions can certainly be unpredictable. Babies are in an in-between phase for photography. They are not sleepy like newborns, often protest being naked or laid in a basket (wouldn’t you?), but they cannot yet support themselves in most poses. So 3 month sessions can be somewhat limited in those respects. But, not baby G!! Oh was he a dream! He was adorable and expressive when awake, didn’t protest being laid in a suitcase or a planter and at the end of the session he fell asleep peacefully for the beautiful newborn style portraits that mom and dad had their heart set on when we first booked their session. G was one happy and very loved baby. Having parents who were so laid back and loving in the room made my job that much easier!! I am just loving this 3 month session!  Enjoy your preview.

Hi folks, Christina here.  Just thought I would share my fashion picks for the spring.  Here in Rhode Island we are getting hit with two storm systems back to back!  We love the snow but it’s a bit overwhelming at this point!  We’re trying to think warm thoughts at the studio which means we already have spring sessions on our mind.  We’ve already got a handful of ideas for spring sets and couldn’t help but put together some inspiration for our clients who already have a spring session booked.  This is just a start with outfits from Old Navy.  More to come soon!
