This is fast becoming one of my favorite parks in RI after just a few visits. Mostly it is the variety. Then it is the fact that every time I visit I get a whole different feel. I had taken a family there a few months back for a portrait session, but have only been back a couple more times with the kids. On the day of our last visit, it started out rather cold and gloomy…

Which didn’t stop the kids from running amuck and chasing all the seagulls. Or from attempting to tackle mommy.

Last photo is of the kids regrouping after discovering horse shoe crab shell under the bridge.

Then Griffin did a rain dance with his discovered magic sun calling stick … which magically made the sky grin…

… and shine sunshine down upon us.

Say Cheese
Check out those teeth! How can you not want to give this little girl a squeeze? Its photos like this that make sitting in front of the computer for long hours quite enjoyable. Miss S here and her handlers made the trip down to Providence from MA so that we could get some shots at Roger Williams Park. Time flies quickly- I feel like I was just photographing her parents’ wedding last summer but already 3 years have gone by.




Peek-a-boo!







lovely young ladies
I had the pleasure of doing a photo session for some lovely young ladies who live in my neighborhood. How time flies. I remember meeting their mom, J, when I first moved to Providence while attending our library’s story hour. I still just trying to figure out how to juggle my second along with the needs of my 1st. I have to admit I hardly remember what we talked about- I think I was averaging 3 hours of sleep at the time. Even though we really don’t live all that far away, I hadn’t seen J all that much. Life gallops on with work and family and all the things that clutter in between the two. I was so pleased to get an email from her a few weeks back about doing some portraits. I couldn’t wait to see how big her youngest had gotten.
J and her husband seem to navigate having 2 with ease. The girls are totally precious and have the most luscious eyes. See for yourself.






I should have perhaps mentioned the other two kids… They were cute too.

Thought I would add a couple of a budding photographer as well.

Thanks J- hope to see you around soon!
cousins
At the time of this posting, my kids have 12 cousins on one side. Enough that I had to do a little mental head count as I type this. We were able to see 2 of them who live all the way up in NH over the last weekend.
See if you can spot them…




Below photo is the before photo.
Before this little 5 year old went home and decided to give herself a haircut…

Busy Bliss
Fall in the Arnold Arboretum in JP- Lovely. Getting to do an engagement session with a couple that hardly ever gets a day off together- Even better. Having it be such an incredibly cute couple who are such a lovely match for each other- Perfection. Congrats M and M – can’t wait for your wedding and thanks for spending a bit of your day off with me (and for introducing me to JP Lick’s Pumpkin soft serve ice cream)
