Last year we had the pleasure of photographing the fabulous Boston wedding of the seriously adorable duo…Michelle & Dan. These two lovebirds quickly jumped into family life and the result is their crazy-beautiful little girl, Mackenzie, who has the most happy, friendly, smiley little spirit. We had such a blast with her and it was no surprise because we had the same experience with her parents when we first photographed them!

Dan & Michelle are such happy, loving, fun, warm, down-to-earth people and it’s obvious their sweet little apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

We met our friends a few weeks ago at one of our favorite Falmouth beaches, where we also happened to photograph their engagement session almost two years earlier. It was like coming full circle for us, only this time around was even better because Mackenzie was there too.

Here are some of our favorite photos from our time together:

Meet Mackenzie…is she sweet or what? We adore this little lovebug!

Getting snuggle time from daddy…oh the joy!

It’s funny…Mackenzie was very interactive throughout our session, but she took just a quick break to get some lovin’ and reassurance from her mom. I love this photo…I love how Michelle’s hair is blowing in the wind, how she has her hand on Mackenzie’s head, but mostly I love that you can see in Mackenzie’s eyes how safe and loved she feels and that there is no where she would rather be in that moment than right where she is. If you’re truly blessed, your life is an accumulation of moments just like these.

Meet the Family… Michelle, Dan & Mackenzie. Seriously, could they be any cuter? And I tell ya, it’s rare that you get a one year old sitting that comfortably and contently for a photo. Mackenzie was a photographer’s DREAM!!!

Couldn’t you just eat them up?

Laughing with mommy as daddy makes some funny faces off camera…

Check out these baby blues….Move over Gerber Baby, there’s a new cutie in town and her name is Mackenzie!

Getting a helping hand, Mackenzie practices her walk….What I love most about this photo is Mackenzie’s little pointy finger as she holds her mom’s hand. It’s just precious to me!! Ohhh, and that little whispy curl of hair on the back of Mackenzie’s sweet little neck! LOVE IT!!!

And here mommy helps her take a few steps toward daddy….check out the happy determination in her eyes and the serious drool on her chin. If only every moment of life could be filled with that much simple joy!!!

I see you….

Playing a little peek-a-boo…

Mackenzie seems to love the camera almost as much as it loves her. Here she turns around to see where Andy & I are as she heads to check out the other side of the beach with mommy & daddy in her new Birthday outfit. I call this one, “Are You coming?” Simply Precious!!!! Don’t you think?

I know we’ve put a lot of photos of Mackenzie’s blue eyes in this post, but I couldn’t resist one more…especially in her new birthday outfit.

And finally….The many faces of Mackenzie. Be prepared for some oohs and aaaahhhs…it doesn’t get much cuter than this!!! It’s tough to pick, but if I had to choose my favorite shot from the below collage it would be the pout face in the bottom left. Andy’s is the eyelash shot with the smile, right side, third down. Which is your favorite Mackenzie face?

Big thanks to Michelle & Dan for continuing to trust us to capture your most precious life moments. It was so great to see you both again and to finally meet Mackenzie. You two sure do make beautiful babies. Mackenzie is such a lovey!!!! We hope to do this with all of you again next summer, when Mackenzie is walking and talking and really showing off that sweet little personality of hers! Thanks again for a fabulous afternoon!!! We love you guys! xo Christine & Andy
