Fall Foliage Park Session Special!

Today’s crisp weather and clear September sky have us really in the mood for Fall! What better way to celebrate the season than to down pumpkin spice lattés announce a Fall Foliage Special? Our schedule is filling up fast, and we want to make sure we set aside time to shoot outdoors when the leaves are at their peak. They’re predicted to be especially stunning this year with all this dry weather!

Our Fall Foliage sessions will take place at a local park during Rhode Island’s peak foliage time. Foliage sessions will be focused on photojournalistic ‘lifestyle’ portraits: portraits of your family interacting, candids, and kids playing in the leaves. If you’re looking for a holiday-themed shoot with stylized sets and formal poses, consider booking one of our Holiday Portrait Sessions (at the beach or farm!)

The H family was so much fun to hang out with! They loved all the props I brought to the bay, and were up for anything…even jumping together. The littles were really into the shoot, too- suggesting poses and things the family could do in front of the camera. “How about we all sit on that rock?” and “Let’s hug each other!” I love subjects that suggest poses for me!

Mom wanted candids of the kids playing together, and I love how they came out. I can tell these two are great friends and siblings to each other already!

Enjoy your sneak peek, H family!

I’ve had so much fun capturing K as he’s grown from a smiley baby into a curious toddler.  At our most recent session, he loved exploring the beach, looking for airplanes, and trying out all of the toys I brought along.  Much more fond of checking out our surroundings than sitting and posing, all of my favorite images from our time together are of K just being himself- even if it meant jumping right into the water to fly his airplane!  We did manage to grab him long enough for some adorable family portraits as well, but we’re saving those for Christmas cards!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

This session was the last one of the night, starting at 7pm. We really caught that sunset glow, and I love how it lights little C and the water. Mom wasn’t sure how C would react to the shoot, as he doesn’t like sand on the beach, but he seemed right at home by the end of the session. He LOVED our jar of shells, and it helped that he had his furry friend, F to collect shells with! The last shot is him waving ‘bye’ to the beach at the end.

Great to meet you, E family!

What an adorable family! I love how this whole session came out. 3.5 year old B and 7-month old M were so good with each other, and I can’t believe how many sibling shots we got where they’re both looking at the camera! Quite impressive. We played with boats, the sand, and ended the session with a dip in the water (not me!).

Great to work with you, P family!

This little beauty gave us a workout on the beach! After a few serious, reserved shots, she discovered how fun it is to collect rocks in the sand. She ran back and forth with me and mom, and we ran right with her! We went though a few super cute outfits, but I think my favorite is her ruffled Strawberry romper. It’ll be so cute on her Christmas cards!

Thanks for joining us at our second beach marathon, H family!

Get ready for some cuteness!  Baby V and I have been buddies since her 6 month session and I couldn’t wait for her to be back in front of my lens again.  She is stunningly gorgeous from her little brown curls to her gorgeous blue eyes and she is SO expressive!  She’s a busy girl, but never minds flashing me some giant smiles while she plays.  Because dad was going to be in his dress whites, we decided to head down to the bay for the family portraits.  Of course the blinding mid-day sun took the boats right out of our background, but I love how soft and washed out the resulting images are from all of that gorgeous backlight.  V loved to simply run around and play with all of the toys I brought along.  Then we set up with a sweet and girly nautical cake smash so V could dig in!  She loved her cake, one of my favorite Sweet Indulgence creations to date.  Enjoy your sneak peek S family!

E and R’s family vacations in Hyannis Port every Summer, and it happened to be the perfect time to get maternity photos done during their stay! We took advantage of the perfect light and quintessential Cape backdrop to capture their soon-to-be family of three (well, five, counting their two energetic dogs!).

Sunset light is always the best for beach shoots, but the soft glow seemed to fit this session especially well. It created such a poignant, anticipatory feel for the photos, and absolutely matched this mama’s glow.

It was lovely to meet you, E and K, and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation!

Last summer I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable family during the kids’ birthday week.  We had a fun session at the park, playing guitar and running around!  This time around we headed down to the bay to play.  We had one HOT session!  It was mid day, almost 90 degrees, humid and we had virtually no shade, but the whole family were troopers and we got some adorable photos.  I broke out lots of fun toys to match their vintage style T-shirts at the start of the session, then we switched to classic nautical for some family photos.  At the end, we just couldn’t resist cooling off with our toes in the water and getting a shot of the littlest man in his new big boy pants!  That one totally melts me.  Enjoy your sneak peek and happy birthday kids!!

Last for today, the beautiful R family. Little O has been with HHP since she was born! She definitely had fun on the beach with mom and dad, and her little smile is just so contagious. Love the shots we got!

It’s been fun for me to meet the clients that have been with the studio for a long time. They usually have great stories of past shoots with Heidi, and know our style so well. This family certainly has session wardrobe mastered! Loved the outfits they chose.

Great to meet you, R family!
