My friends Dan and Alicia welcomed a baby boy into their lives last October, and I was so excited to finally meet him! He’s such a beautiful, sweet & smiley baby..but I’ll let the photos speak for themselves

Mason had become particularly fond of his little feet & toes, and the day of his shoot, he was excited to discover he could get his left foot into his mouth

I think Mason was especially happy about his special visitor, his abuelita traveled all the way from Mexico City to stay with them!

So inquisitive Mason!

Congratulations Dan & Alicia, I cannot wait to see how your beautiful baby boys grows!

It’s been a few months since I first showed you this darling, Emma Rose, and she is growing up fast! We had a quick little session in Encinitas for her 6 month photos. Little Emma was such a trooper despite our very chilly weather and suffering from some teething pains

This was her fist time on the swing, and I’m pretty certain it has become a new favorite playground activity for her. Who doesn’t love the swings?

Baby: the final countdown begins!

Boy oh boy, wait….it might be a girl! Any bets? I am now 32 weeks along (that’s 8 months for those of you not quick on preggo math) and since pregnancy is actually 10 months, we are are counting down just 2 months to the due date of April 18th! Yikes! Enough of the numbers…

I am posting this to let you know I will be separating my work from my play My portraits, weddings, travel, food/recipes, and art will all still be here, www.maggiemarsek.com. If you are interested in following the updates, news and growth of our little Bump, it will all be on our personal site we set up for our Wedding: www.robandmaggie.com

That site will get an update & facelift eventually but at least for now, our little Bump has special place of his or her own

Baby Photography: Beau is 1 year!

Do you remember this little heart breaker? Here he is at 1 year old! I think the pictures of this little cutie speak for themselves…

This is one of my favorites

Here’s little a peek into Beau’s room which Mindy carefully created with the colors and fabrics she envisioned for her little boy. She painted the walls and painted a secondhand crib to co-ordinate. The little felt birdies above Beau’s crib are hand sewn by her as well, I love the little eyelash detail. I was blown away with the rocker-it belonged to Mindy’s husband Chip’s Grandfather..how sweet! Mindy refinished the wood and reupholstered it -masterfully in my opinion

Sea cravings

Maggie — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:37:00 +0000

I am now just over 18 weeks along and getting into the rhythm of being pregnant. After a few weeks of intense nausea and frequent vomiting, I am finally feeling better and – without a doubt – have got my appetite back
I haven’t had the stereotypical cravings of pickles & ice cream, but my sweet-tooth is lever-present in the food cravings department. Another thing I am craving is getting back in the water….the salt water.

I am craving the sea.

I was able to ride my mat up until several weeks ago, but now I just want to body surf and swim. I know the water is creeping into it’s wintertime temps and it will only get colder come January & February. But for now, the problem is my wetsuit won’t fit over my bump!

(“Bump” is what Rob and I are affectionately calling the baby since we aren’t finding out the gender until it’s born!)

Any ladies in North County know of someone (tall) who wore a wetsuit during pregnancy? I’d love to borrow one and satisfy my salty cravings.

Here is some cuteness to add to an already exciting week. This is the first shoot with my friend Reeda’s new baby girl, Emma. You’ll see her again in December for her 6 month shoot, but in the meantime, here she is at 3 months!

How cute is her nursery?!?! Seriously.

Emma recently discovered her right foot, and as you can see, she was all about grabbing her toes!

Remember what I said about elephants in babies’ nurseries? Here they are actually included in her theme

This one is my favorite

Baby Photography: Lincoln

I was so thrilled when my friend Michelle asked if I would shoot her new baby’s photos. Michelle and her husband Jon are both from San Diego and have always been beach goers and ocean dwellers. They now live in live in Del Mar, so we decided to include some quick shots by the coast. Aside from photos at home & in Lincoln’s nursery, we opted for a few quiet photos in the park by the water rather than fight the massive crowd on the beach.

How cute is Lincoln’s Nautical themed nursery?
Michelle’s sisters threw her an adorable shower and handcrafted a lot of the details for the day. Some of the decorations, like the bunting, are reused stylishly in the nursery.

I a firm believer that elephants in a baby’s surroundings are good luck.
(I almost can’t stand how cute they are!!!)
