In the first exclusive photo, the relatively low-key couple is seen braving the cold weather with the North Carolina native's 8-year-old daughter Ricki as they attend a winter event together. The adorable trio is seen bundled up as they pose for a sweet photograph. Maynard looks stunning in a chic, white hoodie, cream-colored oversized poncho, and with her blonde locks down, as her baby girl dons a black ensemble and neon green sunglasses.

In the second snapshot -- apparently from a fishing trip -- the three are all smiles while Johnson holds up just-caught fish. The family-to-be are sitting on the edge of a boat in summer clothes, as Maynard's mini-me leans into her famous mom while wearing a life-vest.

Maynard and Johnson, 27, got engaged on Jan. 4 when the management consultant proposed with five diamond-studded bands. "He proposed to me at home and gave both Ricki and me rings. It was so sweet! Ricki loves him more than she likes me!" the blushing bride-to-be told Us. "We definitely are looking to get married sooner rather than later. No point in waiting!"
