I have just two spots left on the spring mini special!  These openings are for Saturday, May 5 at 5:00 and at 6:30!  I know most kids are getting ready for bed at that time but that 6:30 time is closer to sunset when the light should be just fabulous!  These are the last two!

I am also booking beach sessions for June!  These are done in the late afternoon/evening time just before sunset to ensure the optimal light and also gives time for beaches to empty out!  If you’re thinking about scheduling do it early!  Because I like to shoot at the time of day when the light is going to be beautiful I can only shoot one beach session per day!

I wanted to share this great session with a family vacationing at Castle Hill in Newport the other day!  Turns out it was one of the most beautiful summer-like days in October!  We were comfy out on the beach for the evening shoot.  Couldn’t ask for better weather!  Little Mr. C. was sweet and adorable and at the perfect age for baby photos!  He had us laughing so much with his cuteness!  When babies are sitting up but not yet crawling or walking they are as happy as pie to sit for photographs and go on a little excursion looking for perfect locations for a family photograph!  Castle Hill is such a beautiful location and makes the most perfect location for a photoshoot.  They have woods and grassy areas, gardens and a beautiful beach…soooo many possibilities!  We wore Mr. C. out but he did awesome!  Here are a few photos from their session!

Oh and I was so lucky to get to capture little Mr. C’s first time in the sand…he was adorable!  I just love this shot!

RI Baby PhotographerWe shot such a variety that evening that I’m having a really tough time narrowing it down!  LOL  I hope that Mr. C’s mom and dad love this peek!  I better get back to work, I’m editing like crazy!  Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Nicole and Steve recently met me at the beach for a session.  The sky and the sea looked very rough and stormy, but it was not a bad day to be outdoors!  The temps were comfortable and there was lots going on down at the beach.  It was pretty windy and the water was really rough and churning black and dark like I have never seen before!  Sad to think that summer is over as we are quickly moving into fall!  Fall sessions will be ramping up and filling these pages with colorful photographs!  But I love the beach more than anything!  Steve and Nicole brought their adorable and well behaved dog along for their shoot!  He was really well behaved and Nicole told me that he slept all the way home after!  Here’s a peek!  I just love this first shot by the way…

Hope you love your peek guys!  It was fun meeting you and Riley!  He’s an awesome little dog and he did a great job!

Lots of fall and holiday sessions being booked now!  Keep in mind that in order to have your prints back in time for the holidays we recommend you have your session shot before the second week of November.  Right now November is almost entirely booked with only a couple of slots available.  We still have a number of session times available in the month of October (when the leaves are spectacular for outside sessions).  If you’re looking for a studio session we are almost booked solid through the holidays with the exception of some evening slots and a couple of weekend morning sessions!  As always we will offer beautiful custom holiday cards ordered through our labs featuring photographs from your sessions!  Please remember to leave ample time to get those cards out in time!  Turn around time on editing is two weeks.  Turn around time for prints during the holidays is  8 -12 days and longer for canvases and other goodies!   And lastly, what’s a better gift for the person who has everything than a gift certificate to the studio!?  Portraits are a wonderfully special gift and we have gift certificates to fit every budget!

Contact the studio today to book your session or inquire about gift certificates!  401-486-3656 or http://lindahawkinsphotography.com/site/#/contact/

It’s always cool when other photographers come to me for their sessions!  Was happy, and sad, to shoot a family beach session for Jen DeCesari of DeCesari Photography.  Sad because Jen and her family are moving away down south and she wanted a family session here in RI before she left!  Jen’s family was so cute at the beach one evening a week ago!  We met up just a few days after the hurricane and surprisingly the beach and the Narragansett area looked untouched by the storms!  September is the perfect month for a beach session here in RI!  The weather is not too hot and we still have great evening light!  I do have a few times left for beach sessions so if you’re interested contact the studio ASAP!  Here is a quick peek of a few of the shots from their session!
