i love thinking about future generations looking through my photographs; sharing stories + memories of the people included in these photographs, comparing similarities + pointing out family resemblances. the thought that after we are long gone a photograph can immortalize us, bring us back, make us known to future generations; gives me all the feels. this session here is very special to me because these three are very special to me. i am so grateful to be trusted to document their bond, not only for them but for the future generation as well. roger williams park in cranston rhode island was the perfect location for this autumn ‘mommy and me’ session.
[ethereal flower crown tea party was all the momma’s idea, thanks liz for making my job easy with not only beautiful subjects but a beautiful backdrop as well!]
this family has invited me into their lives for over 6 years + each time they contact me to help document their ever changing lives i am overcome with gratitude for this gift of photography. a gift that can freeze time also while showing its progress. each time i see their children i am blown away by their growth as well as their developing + unique personalities. the inquisitive oldest + contemplative youngest. it is a blessing to see these subtle transformations over the years. i hope that the tradition carries on for a long long time.
if you are looking to add a yearly family portrait to your traditions i am running a portrait special for the whole year as an added incentive.check this out to see more information.
words cannot express how excited i was to meet anna + michael in september. there are times that i book weddings completely over email so it is so nice to be able to have some face to face [well, my masked face] time before the wedding to get a good connection before the big day. to sweeten this first meeting, they brought their adorable pup, arlo. i cannot stress enough how much i love when couples incorporate their four-legged babes into their photography sessions. [ i am a HUGE dog/animal lover, hello have we met?] i also had the opportunity to learn more about their spring 2021 wedding to be held at mt hope farm’s cove cabin…gasp, i love this venue!…anyhoo these two were absolute naturals + i cannot wait for their upcoming nuptials
