Newborn Ma’lee | Rhode Island and Boston, MA natural light newborn photography

“Milton and I met at work in 2009.  He is originally from Kenya and I was going on a medical trip as a nurse there that summer.  I had so many questions and asked if we could meet for coffee so I could pick his brain.  We got together a few days later and the rest is history!  When we found out I was pregnant we were ecstatic!  I come from a very small family and Ma’lee is the first baby in the family in 28 years on my mom’s side!  Ma’lee’s name is part of Milton’s moms name and part of my moms name.  Milton comes from a very large family and will have many aunts, uncles, and cousins to look up to!  I found Michelle’s website through a natural childbirth class that we took: The Bradley Method.  I’m so glad that we stumbled upon her website because it has been such a wonderful experience working with her!  I could not believe how patient and talented Michelle was when working with Ma’lee.  I called her “the baby whisper” because she was able to calm and soothe her so easily and then almost mold her like clay into the cutest positions for the photos.  After the long awaited pregnancy, the challenging but rewarding labor, and now getting into the new parenting routine, we are so happy that we took the time to have the photo shoot and look forward to viewing the pictures!  This is something Ma’lee will be able to enjoy when she gets older and that we will be able to cherish forever! “

Although the main reason to travel to Florida was to photograph our Sweet Marie, I still had to make time to take some images of my grandfather, uncle (my dad’s identical twin!) and my cousins.  It baffles me how big my cousins are!  I remember Raven (the kid near the bottom making the funny faces) was the teeniest little boy!  He’s so huge!  He has his DRIVERS LICENSE!  WHAT?!

I think my fav photo here (it might just be because it includes my own baby) is the one of Eli playing peek a boo with Dax in the car… he was so good to him!

Kaya.. I can’t believe how beautiful you are.. so feminine and turning into such a gorgeous woman!  Stop!

and Jaime.. every day I wished we lived closer.  I love you lots. xo

Newborn Marie | Rhode Island and Florida Newborn Photographer

Last week, thanks to the help of my cousins, parents, grandfather, uncle, and husband.. I was able to take a 30 hour trip to Florida to photograph my absolutely stunning new niece, Marie.

I received the most amazing welcome at their front door because our very loud mouthed family (Yes, I am including myself in this familial characteristic) was able to keep the trip a surprise, and Lukie had no clue I was coming!

Because of her parents, we know Marie will be safe, smart, beautiful, and most importantly.. loving.   Lukie was born to be a mother; you can feel her grace, confidence and happiness in her presence, and Trevor has always been one of my favorite people for his lightheartedness, positive spirit and huge sense of humor.

Congrats to you!

*Jaime… your kiddos are up shortly!
