Little Miss “Z”, age 3, was in the studio the other day for some updated photos for her portfolio. She is such a doll and I had so much fun with her! It was an amazingly beautiful day outside so we squeezed in a few shots outside in the beautiful natural light! Miss “Z” did a wonderful job and she’s going to have a lot of great shots to pick from for her portfolio! Check her out!



I have been so busy in the studio that I have not been blogging as much as usual! We are still here, just very busy! If you are interested in booking a session, please contact the studio at 401-486-3656 or email us at linda@lindahawkinsphotography.com! We are booking up months in advance so please plan accordingly! Especially when it comes to maternity and newborn sessions! You want to schedule those as far in advance as possible as we can only take a limited number of newborns per month due to the unpredictability of their arrival!
To Miss “Z’s” parents I hope you enjoy this preview! I will be in touch as soon as I have your gallery ready to view!

I LOVE when clients come back year after year. I love seeing how their children grow and how they change through the years! First steps, first lost tooth and first kids off to college…ahhh….it all goes by so fast! I have a few families this year that are back for their third year in a row of portraits! This is one of them and my how they have grown! I love these guys! These kids are so full of personality, each one of them is so different than the other, one quiet and reserved, one full of spunk and inquisitive and the other full of giggles and fun! Beautiful kids and their mom always does such a great job at coordinating their outfits for their session! Here’s a quick peek from their woodsy fall session!




Boy did I luck out when a small dog came trotting up right behind me here, the kids thought this was funny and it was perfect for getting them looking in just the right direction! I may have to start bringing a dog to assist me on my shoots! LOL
And one last one before I go. Little Miss “A” smiling.

Hope you love your peek guys! Be in touch soon! Lots of editing to get to!

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!
We 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!

Had a fabulous session with the “B” kids the other day! The weather here this w/e is fabulous for shooting, couldn’t ask for better! the trees are just starting to turn so fall colors are really popping in the images! I have a couple of sessions left if you want to squeeze in before the leaves are gone! Seriously folks, this is the BEST time of year for a session! And you will have prints ready for holiday gifts and, oh, don’t forget the beautiful custom created holiday cards that are so popular at the studio every year! Anyhow, these two were just adorable! Hard to believe but little Miss “M” is only two years old! What fantastic listeners these two are! Oh, and I highly recommend if you have a session coming up to bring hats and fantastic layers of sweaters, vests and scarves! I know it doesn’t feel cool, but they are fabulous additions to photographs adding texture and color! Check these cuties out!









Okay I better stop there…lol. Too many cute ones to pick from! Mom and Dad I hope you love your peek! They did an AWESOME job! You are going to have a really difficult job making your selections!
The session schedule is pretty booked right now but I am willing to squeeze a couple more sessions in before the leaves fall so let me know ASAP if you’d like a session! If you wait you’ll be out of luck getting fall photos! Call or email the studio today!

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/

I had the honor of photographing another beautiful wedding at a beautiful private residence! Zenobia was stunning and did not stop smiling all day! I love these happy brides! Jay was very handsome and they made a perfect match! The location was just exquisite with the most perfect beautiful tree (complete with tree swing) that they said their vows under and the grapevines and walls where we did their formals! What a beautiful spot for pictures! It was extremely sunny during their vows, but as the sun set after there was lots of beautiful light! Zenobia’s and Jay’s families were loads of fun and ready to have a lot of fun dancing and singing to the music by one of the Platters lead singers, Tony Funches (fabulous by the way)! It was a really fun wedding and even the kids (and let me tell you, there were oodles of beautiful babies at this wedding) were having a blast all the way through to the ice cream sundaes at the end! Here is a quick peek of their special day!










And just as a final reminder, to everyone who is in their wedding planning stages now, I have my yearly wedding special going on right now! All future weddings booked between September 1 and September 15, 2011 will receive a free complementary engagement, trash the dress or bridal portrait session valued at $250! Schedule your free consultation ASAP, time is running out! http://lindahawkinsphotography.com/weddings/site/#/information/packages/ .
Remember, this offer is only good for weddings that are booked by September 15th! That is this Thursday! If you’d like a consult to discuss your wedding needs and find out more about booking a wedding contact me right away, so I can squeeze you in before time is up!

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!







Jen I know you’ll love your new home, but you’ll be missed up here in RI! I hope your move is going well and you’re not completely exhausted yet! I wish you and your family all the best! I’m sure we will keep in touch and you’ll be back to RI at some point! Say hi to those cuties for me!
I have a few spots left during September for beach sessions so contact the studio ASAP if you’d like one! Don’t let time slip away, capture your family memories now!
We can be reached at 401-486-3656, please leave a message if we do not answer and we’ll get back to you ASAP!

This little princess came in to the studio the other day for her first professional photo session at 11 days old! Not once did she close her eyes and she was already starting to loose the newborn curl! She was one of the sweetest awake babies I have ever photographed! Her eyes are the biggest eyes I have ever seen…just incredibly beautiful! Here are a few from her session! I’m sure you’ll agree how beautiful she is! Lucky for us it was a beautiful evening and right around the golden hour of sunset so we could get some beautiful outside shots! They are, of course, my favorites!


11 days old and this little girl was so very strong!

She was the cutest little thing! I enjoyed shooting her newborn session! I double enjoyed that we were able to take her outside! Mom and Dad I’ll be in touch in about two weeks with your private gallery! I hope you enjoy this peek for now!
The new studio is right on schedule and will be open on September 1st! The fall schedule is booking up like crazy, just as in past years! The fall is such a busy time for the studio with everyone getting their senior photos, family photos and holiday photos! Book early!

Little Miss “M” is just under two and I had her come see me for a fun little tea party. This age can be a tough one to photograph but I find if we try to make the session fun and playful children of this age tend to do a lot better than in a studio situation. It took her a few to warm up but in the end I think she had a good time! We shot these just before sunset which gave us some very pretty light!
A little shy at first!








Miss “M” is just so very sweet! I knew she’d love a tea party! She was as cute as can be and she was playing, which is much more acceptable to a child her age! She even brought her very special lovey teddy! To Miss “M’s” mama I hope you love this peek….it’s just too adorable!
Still have a few openings for the remainder of the year! Looks like we have a busy September – December! So much fun! Contact the studio today to get your session scheduled! You can even book a fun tea party session for your child!
http://lindahawkinsphotography.com/site/#/contact/ to contact the studio! Or call give us at 401-486-3656. Please leave a message if you get voice mail and we’ll get right back to you!

Miss K is just as sweet as pie and super serious and very…ummm….DIVA! LOL! She was so into her photoshoot, she must be watching American’s Top Model with all the poses she was throwing at me! Here’s a peek from her session…too cute!

At two years old Miss A is a typical child. This tends to be a difficult age to photograph. I find that children of this age do much better outside than in the studio. In the studio this age seems to be more into exploring and not into sitting for the camera. Outside they can play and explore while we shoot and everybody is happy! Even though a session can be challenging, it’s not impossible as you’ll see by Miss A’s preview here!






Miss “A” is a cute little doll! I know her mom was very worried that we didn’t get any nice photographs, but I think we did a great job! Hope you enjoy this sneak peek!

We are booking the popular fall season NOW! Fall is always the most popular time for sessions and I always book my schedule right out! So if you’re thinking of doing a session in the months of September – December you need to book now! I hate saying no,but every year I find myself turning clients away who didn’t book early enough!!! All sessions must be shot by November 19th in order for prints to be in in time for the holidays! If you’re thinking about ordering some of our beautiful custom holiday cards with photos from your session on them (always a big hit) those orders must be in early enough to allow for turn around at the lab (10 days) and for you to send them out! We recommend all holiday card orders be in by November 10th at the latest!
If you are expecting a baby during the fall months, it’s highly recommended you book your newborn session now so that we know how many newborns will be on our schedule during these months and plan for them. If you do not book in advance, chances are you will not get on the schedule! Newborn sessions really need to be done within two weeks of birth to ensure those beautiful newborn sleeping, curled up poses! They’re only newborns once, don’t miss out! Make sure you book early to ensure you’ll get those beautiful images to cherish forever!
http://lindahawkinsphotography.com/site/#/contact/ today to book your session or for more information! We look forward to working with you!

Little Miss “C” is the cutest baby!!!! I knew when I saw her she’d be the perfect little cherub so I knew the wings would be the perfect prop! She is also at my favorite age! The age when children can sit up well but do not crawl or walk yet is the best age for baby photographs! They tend to be happy and will sit and flirt and smile perfectly for their portraits! Once children start to crawl and walk it’s much harder to get them to cooperate for portraits! They tend to want to get up and walk or crawl away exploring of course! Check out some images from Baby “C”‘s session! Seriously, I wanted to squeeze her all day, and I would have if she let me! LOL Ready for some cuteness overload….well….here it is!






Amy and Chris I hope you love your preview! I’ll let you know as soon as I have the rest of your images ready! Safe and happy travels!!! xo
