Love Printable ~ Thank You ~ New Blog | Idaho Lifestyle Photographer

I have been blessed to have worked with many great families, babies and seniors during my last four years (and even before) of being in business. And I appreciate each one of them; what they shared with me about their lives and how they helped me grow, both as an artist and as a business woman. This is just a small thank you just in time for Valentine’s Day (since I missed getting out Christmas or New Year’s cards.) It’s a FREE Love printable just for you. Print it out and frame it or send it to a friend. Use it however you want. Credit goes to my great friend and designer, Deanna at Accent Design. 

I have a new blog now too, so visit www.maggiemalsonphotography.com/blog from now on...

Thanks again for all of you who have shared your lives and trusted me to capture your memories. It's been a true pleasure!! 

Sweet Baby Girl ~ Boise Newborn Lifestyle Photographer

 

Baby girl turns 3 months old today! Seriously, I can't believe it. She's starting to coo and gurgle a lot. She has lots of smiles too and even a few chuckles. She's found her hands now and it's so funny to see her looking at them. Big kids still adore her. J Man calls her Happy Face and likes to sing her his "happy song". It's so cute. These images were taken about a month ago when she was almost two months old. Can't get enough of her cuteness. I love capturing babies like this!

Can't believe I haven't blogged for an entire month either! Life has been busy and I'm still trying to figure so many things out; how to handle work obligations, how to take care of my little family, finishing up client orders, etc., but really I have no complaints. I am too blessed to be stressed. :0) Looking forward to trying to simplify some things in the future and just enjoying the little people in my life.

Here she is... | Giveaway Winner | Boise Newborn Photographer

So many of you know our baby girl is here! She arrived three days after her due date (so did I when I was born, ha!) And, it was simply perfect timing--it was my grandma's 80th birthday too! (She also has her other great grandmother's middle name.) I really had hoped she'd come that day, and I even had a doctor's appointment for the afternoon. I was quite restless that night thinking about when she might be coming, praying that God would give me a sign. Well, at 3 a.m., he did; my water broke. I've journaled her birth story for myself and for her scrapbook, so I'll save you all the details. Just know it was another wonderful birthing experience and I am very thankful for that.

Looking back through the giveaway guesses, my mom actually was the closest to the correct stats. But Crystal was a close second, so I'll be giving away two prints! Thank you all for playing along, and for all your well wishes.

Still Waiting on Baby ~ Giveaway | Boise Maternity Photographer

So today, Aug. 27, is baby's due date. I thought it would be fun to get all my friends, family and fans involved in this little waiting game and have a contest. Anyone can participate from anywhere and I have a really fun prize for the winner! Let's see who can guess the baby's birthdate, weight and height. The one closest to the correct stats will be the winner. Time of birth will be the tie-breaker if we need it. Please submit your guesses as soon as possible in the comments below.

The winner will receive a custom-designed print with their family's important dates on it. You can see a sample below (dates/names were modified for privacy). Winner will get to pick first/middle name/birthdates and color of accent font. The finished print will be 11X14 and will be ready to frame. Print can be mailed anywhere, so no excuses not to come join in the fun. Also, I have some modified wording if you happen to have not started your family yet. :0)  Come play along and see who can guess when Baby M will make her appearance.

What a difference a day will make!

Couldn't resist sharing some sweet moments with my boy before he becomes a big brother.

Only 10 more days (give or take a few) until our precious little one arrives. Have had another great experience carrying this child. Need to take some time to journal all my thoughts.

Feeling very blessed!
