I met Nick and Beth in June for their family pictures. Beth was 34 weeks pregnant with the couples first child. A girl. They knew they were going to hire a photographer to help capture the memory of her first few days, and the mile stones of the first year. After what seemed like forever and a day, little miss Maci arrived on August 7th, and I was the lucky photographer called to create their beautiful memories.
Nick warned me over the phone that his little girl was very well-behaved, but I was preparing for the typical newborn session. Miss Maci was NOT a typical newborn, in fact, she was the best 10 day old person I have held. Beautiful. Precious. Daddy’s Girl.
She is already starting her modeling career, with a cute bubble bee hat from Pink Toad.
I loved how she was holding her finger. Very peaceful. Very innocent.
This gem was a very easy baby. Her entire session was less than 2 hours, start to finish, and that included talking time with her proud parents. I am very impressed, and I can not wait to watch her grow into a toddler. It never ceases to amaze me at how tiny we are at birth, and how fast we grow.
It was very hard to choose which images I was going to feature in my blog this morning. I have decided to end it with just one more. I take this shot of all newborns, and it is one of my personal favorites every time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.






becky, i can’t wait to see the rest. these pictures are perfect beth and i couldn’t be more pleased and we appreciate the wonderful things you said about our baby girl. thank you so much and we too are excited and would have no one else capture her growing but you.
