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.

Here is just a little glimpse of the fun I had with the G family last week.  They kept me laughing the entire session!  I don’t typically photograph families this large in my teeny studio, but our day turned out to be close to zero degrees with the windchill, so we were all happy to be indoors instead!!  There were so many different combinations that we photographed that I’m only sharing these two little previews so as to not leave anyone out…. or have a mammoth 2 page preview!  The love of this family was certainly a joy to capture.  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!

I had so much fun with the R family this week.  We had a casual, easy-going maternity session that just flew by.  3 year old C is sure to be an amazing big brother, he did so well at the shoot!  I can’t wait to meet the newest addition to your family!

C and J were one of my very first maternity clients and baby A was one of the first newborns to ever grace my little red (recently retired) bean bag. I then had the pleasure of watching her grow up through her first year as mom and dad came back again for 6 month and 1 year portraits. It is always so hard to say goodbye to my baby plan clients, so I was of course THRILLED when I heard the news that mom and dad were expecting again! I had so much fun doing mom’s maternity session last week and I can’t get over how much has changed for all of us since the last time around! I can’t wait to meet the newest member of your gorgeous family ;0)

Oh brothers!  In her pre-session questionnaire all mom said she wanted was a picture of both boys smiling, with eyes open, looking at the camera.  Any parent of young siblings knows how hard that can be to capture!  Well I’m happy to report we got it!  It’s funny I took over 400 image at this session.  Most consist of T squeezing R and R crying, or R smiling and T running out of the scene!  haha  Of course those all end up on the cutting room floor and only adorable shots like these make it into the final gallery.  But, those outtakes do give me a good chuckle along the way!  Enjoy your preview and your two beautiful boys mom!

We are so excited for our mini sessions today!  Just when we were beginning to get caught up with the holiday rush, Heidi looked at her calendar and saw that there would be some free time this week to shoot some minis.  Remember that friend in college who just couldn’t enjoy her vacation after finals, instead took a winter course or interned?  That would be Heidi.

In order for things to run smoothly we set up some classic neutral sets from some of our favorite shoots and wanted to share a sneak peek.  No wide angle lens on hand today but here are a couple photos of what the studio looks like today.  The mattress with our IKEA canopy is something new but we love how the images are turning out and plan on keeping it here permanently.

These Pottery Barn curtains are also brand new.  With the sun so low in these winter months it gets very bright in here.  Also with the glare from our snow, we didn’t want to risk having squinty eyes, but they also make the room feel cozier don’t you think?

And a sneak peek of our first session from today – adorable 4 1/2 year old and 6 month old siblings who loved jumping on the bed!

If you are interested in doing a mini session but couldn’t book with us before the spaces filled up, we will be announcing new dates on the blog February 1st.  One of our new years resolutions here at the studio is to post a monthly newsletter… EVERY month.  Sign up if you haven’t already and we promise you’ll be the first to hear about our specials and next set of minis before we post it on the blog.

Baby K was such a joy to photograph.  He did nothing but smile!  I thought he looked a lot like dad, but he certainly has mom’s gorgeous eyes!  We got all of the classic baby portraits and some beautiful family portraits as well.  Enjoy your preview!
