Anyway, as luck would have it I had leg surgery just before her wedding and had to get an assistant to help with her wedding – it worked out well because having the extra camera meant extra images and extra eyes – always good on a wedding day!

I started out at Kelly’s house and my assistant, at Rob’s parents house, and we got some great ‘getting ready shots’, followed by the church – St. Bartholomew’s

in Providence, formals at Waterplace Park and a fabulous and fun reception at 1149 in E. Greenwhich.  Fun day and fun imags – I hope you enjoy this small sampling of their day!

I can help capture your special day too – email me for more details:  jennifer@decesariphotography.com.  I am offering a discount on my 2011 weddings booked by April of 2011.

Just a few weeks later they brought him to my studio and let us have fun!  He is SO full of personality and spunk!  He loved his cake too  – and loved wearing it!  Wasn’t too crazy about the bow tie, but every parent needs some crying baby pictures, so we went with it!  So much fun all around!  Mom and Dad love the pictures and I hope they will cherish them for years to come – I can see these in his high school yearbook already!

I can capture this special time for you and your little one too!  Don’t hesitate to call me to set up an appointment!  401.286.1949 or jennifer@decesariphotography.com

This lovely family met me at Roger Williams park for a family session before their oldest goes off to college. It was a fabulous night and we got some beautiful images.  I’m very proud of these and am so glad that they love the photos too!  Figures one of the first pictures we took would be the family image they love the most huh?

Beautiful family and I’m so glad to have met them (and doesn’t mom look awesome?  I hope I look that good when my girls are college age!)

This gal was no exception!  Meet Ashley, who came all the way from Huntsville, TX to lil’ ol’ Rhody just for me to create unique senior portraits for her!  Boy are they different than what everyone else in class will have!

We ventured to Roger Williams Park in Providence followed by Waterplace Park – mixing floral/outdoor with grungy/urban – and boy was it fun!!  I had such a blast creating fun images with her!  I hope everyone enjoys these images, I know I do!

It’s not too late to get your senior pictures!  We still have a few weeks of fabulous weather ahead of us and don’t forget the usual yearbook deadline of October!  I have special packages just for high school seniors but you have to call soon – my schedule is already very busy for the fall!  Call or email today!  jennifer@decesariphotography.com or 401.286.1949

I got a call earlier this summer from a very polite man asking about a maternity session for his wife – what a nice change to have dad calling!  As it turns out this very polite man learned it well as he’s in the military, they both are and to make it even more special they live in Texas and will be taking a family vacation on Cape Cod and wanted to use that opportunity to schedule a maternity session.  How special for me!  They’re using a special family/vacation time to let me into their lives and capture this special time, truly an honor

They’re beautiful people, both inside and out, and I know they are anxiously awaiting their little boys arrival in a few months.  I wish them all the best and hope that their next trip to Rhode Island include a trip to see me so I can see them again!

The session was being used to create some images that would be used for gifts for parents/grandparents.  The goal was to get the two grandchildren together, some group shots and the 3 sisters.  I’m very happy to say we succeeded!  I had a great time and know they did too.  I’m even more proud that these are images that they will enjoy looking at for years to come!

It’s not too late for your beach pictures!  Don’t let this summer go by without creating beautiful beach memories for your family!  Call me to schedule your session today!  401.286.1949 or jennifer@decesariphotography.com

What is the Pictures of Hope Foundation?

Pictures of Hope is a charitable organization of professional photographers who provide complimentary, documentary-style, photography sessions to babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and their families.  The Pictures of Hope Foundation is comprised of photographers (many of whom are “NICU mothers” themselves) from across the United States and Canada who are dedicated to donating their time to a cause they believe in, and sharing the gift of photography with families in need.

Why Pictures of Hope?
Throughout pregnancy most parents don’t anticipate the possibility of their baby needing to stay in the NICU after birth. Whatever that reason may be, time spent in the NICU is often an unexpected journey for families, a journey full of overwhelming emotions…sadness, confusion, hope, celebration, and unfortunately, at times grief. Throughout this roller coaster of emotions, many parents do not consider the importance of documenting these precious moments in their lives nor do they think about how much they will truly cherish these images years down the road. In some cases, a little extra TLC from the NICU is needed to be sure the little one gets off to the best possible start, for these families on the road to well being, photographs are a wonderful reminder of just how far their little one has come, however, photographs also play a necessary and very important role in the healing process for other families. In the most heart breaking circumstances, photos may be the only tangible keepsakes some parents have of their precious little one. All Pictures of Hope participating photographers are dedicated to providing NICU families with invaluable images you will cherish forever, captured in a sensitive and caring manner.

Personal Touch

My oldest daughter, Arianna, was born at 28 weeks and spent many many weeks in the NICU at Women and Infants Hospital in Providence.  It was a heart breaking but powerful experience.  It brought my family closer together and has given me a great respect for what my daughter has overcome in her short life.  I want all families to be able to have memories of this time – to look back on, to see just how far their son or daughter has come!

If you know someone that has a child(ren) in the NICU and would enjoy a complimentary photo session, please have them contact me:  401.286.1949 or jennifer@decesariphotography.com

It’s always a treat to get a baby that sleeps during their session because it gives me a chance to create some cute little poses… but this little man even let us pose him when he wasn’t sleeping!  Check him out- lounging on my little blue couch – he knows he’s the king!  And the last shot is one of my personal favorites – just a subtle reminder that, yes, they still run the show!

I’d love the chance to create this high quality of work for you too!  Contact me to check availability or to purchase a gift certificate:  401.286.1949 or jennifer@decesariphotography.com

And, a challenge it was – she wasn’t sleepy in the slightest and not at all happy about being away from mom – who could blame her?  Mommy is the best place for baby!

Even with the challenges she did give me some great eye contact and hillarious little expressions – very expressive little girl!  I had so much fun!  And I’m even more glad that mom and dad loved the images as well, that makes all the work worth it!

Newborns are best conducted prior to two weeks but if your newborn is older than that, don’t miss the chance to get pictures, no matter the age!  Babies are only small once and you don’t want to miss the chance to get portraits!  Contact me today to schedule your session!  401 286 1949 or jennifer@decesariphotography.com

I can create beautiful portraits like this for your family too – don’t hesitate as my schedule fills up quickly!  401.286.1949 or jennifer@decesariphotography.com
