Newborn Photography

A small sample of the newborn photography I did in January. I love creating slideshows for clients ... it is a little piece of me & my craft that I can give and they can treasure. Enjoy!! :0 Amy

One Month Old | Massachusetts & Rhode Island Newborn Baby and Family Photography

I met with Beth & Peter and their sweet new baby boy at their home late last month when lil' Henry was just one month old.  He was wide awake & alert throughout the session.  I just love the family moments we were able to capture.

 Congratulations Beth & Peter.

Henry is a sweetie.

Baby.Love | Massachusettes & Rhode Island Newborn Family Photography

I had the pleasure of meeting a new young family last weekend .. and got a 2 hour fill on newborn baby boy sweetness.  My guys are 5 & 7 and I forget how tiny & precious they are.  It was as much as treat for me as it was, I hope, for little MJ's family :)

At Rachel's baby shower she was given a gift certificate from a family friend from RitzyPics and I was able to photograph their sweet two week old at their home.  Here are some of the previews of MJ's first photo session.  He was wide awake the whole time and was calm and mellow, going with the flow and enjoyed being cuddled by his mom and dad.

Thank you, L Family -- it was a pleasure to meet you & your new sweet angel.

happy new year, twenty.twelve!

Brightmans @ the Beach | Narragansett, Rhode Island Family & Children Beach Photographer

I met Jen & Steve, their three girls and their pup Buddy at the beach in Narragansett last month for my last beach session of the year.   The beach was ready for winter with fences along the dunes and an empty beach.  The sun was shining bright and it was a bit windy ... but Jen and Steve were up for the session - especially after it was already rescheduled due to weather a few weeks prior when the wind gusts were over 30mph! 

The first ten minutes of our session was GREAT!  The girls, who have known me for over 18 months now, were sweet & smiley and up for pictures.  However, after about 10-15 minutes the lure of the ocean, sand, rocks and shells grabbed their attention more so than looking at my camera and smiling on cue.

For the next hour Jen & Steve jumped, danced, sang and who knows what else behind me as we urged the girls to all look - just look! - at the camera at the same time.  

All in all it was a fun session and we definitely showcased the girls' personalities and the reality of life & family with three little ones ages 4, 3 and 1!  

I have said it before, both Jen and Steve are two of the most patient and go.with.the.flow parents I have met.  Photo sessions can be very stressful for parents -- and kiddos can sense that!  The pressure for the "perfect picture" is there.  Despite the list of poses and shot and ideas both Jen and I had for their beach session, it just did not happen as we both had envisioned, but it was nonetheless successful or fun. 

Here are a few images from their session -- ENJOY!

Belated Blogging & OpLOVE | Rhode Island Family Operatation Love Photographer

I will apologize for the next few posts coming up on the blog today ... they are all very much tardy. 

I LOVE that I have been so busy this fall season.  I have been good about my turn.around time for galleries -- anywhere from 5 days to my longest at 14 days during the height of editing last week.   As I have been getting galleries out to clients I have lapsed on my blogging of sessions.  FaceBook, it seems, is just that much easier & faster of a way to communicate and share with clients some of the sneak peeks.

I have a 60 minute window right now while my little monkeys are playing Wii  ... sit back and check back in as I bust out some blog posts from the last few weeks :)

PS, if you are not on FaceBook, then you may have missed my big announcement from this week ....

I have been chosen as a photographer for Operation: Love Reunited.  It is a similar non.profit as the Littlest Heroes / Inspiration Through Art program I am a part of.  Instead of terminal and sick children and their families, I will be photographing active-service military men & women and their families, pre or post deployment and their homecomings after a deployment.

As a military wife I knew firsthand the heartache and honor of having a spouse on deployment.  I can clearly recall saying goodbye at the ship and watching my husband in full uniform walk aboard the ship while I remained on the dock.  And I remember the homecoming and the anticipation of his plane -- all of the emotions & excitement.

I am very proud to be able to give back to active military men and women who put their lives on the line for our country ... and for their families and children at home ... making the biggest sacrifice one can.  I want to be there to record their love of family & country and give them something to hold onto while their loved one is far away.

There are a few other photog's in our area .... hopefully I will be chosen for a military family sometime in 2012!
