Taking photos on the wharf in Newport, Rhode Island during the holiday season always feels special. The docks are quieter, the boats are wrapped up for winter, and the town has a slower, more relaxed energy. This session was simple and easy. We walked along the wharf, grabbed coffee, and let the morning unfold naturally. Lots of smiles, a little laughter, and plenty of in-between moments. Nothing staged or forced, just the two of them enjoying being together.
The holiday decorations around the harbor added just enough seasonal feel without taking over the photos. Newport in the winter has a timeless look, and the waterfront makes a great backdrop no matter the time of year. Sessions like this are a reminder that you don’t need a big plan or a perfect setup. Sometimes a walk, warm coffee, and a quiet waterfront are more than enough.
