Seven years ago today- my life changed forever.

I didn’t know then, but I was about to step into the most amazing- thrilling- scary- overwhelming- and perfect adventure yet!
Anyone with a child that has any sort of special need can understand the range of emotions you go though on a daily basis.  Life has been crazy. From really low lows to exhilarating highs. He has blessed us in incredible ways. He has made me become compassionate, non judgmental, patient, and creative. Most of all he has taught me to always look for the best in everyone. When others see challenges I seek victories. I appreciate the little things. He has opened my eyes to the possibilities in us all.

He is MY Mohawk…..He is why this all started and why I continue to bust by butt.

I love you so much little man- you are the best boy in the world!!!!!!

Happy seventh birthday!

 

This is what I love about him.

*He thinks he is Michael Jackson*

It really is an everyday miracle.

A baby to be.

Even more astonishing when two little ones are being created all at once.

For those of you that follow Munchkins and Mohawks know that weeks of preparation go into preparing a shoot- from styling to location – hair and makeup coordination. It is quite the process.

So when an unexpected need to shoot ASAP comes up- we  all kick it into high gear and pull together. With the help of my lovely crew….. Beth- our amazing stylist, Lisa Johnson- beauty enhancing makeup artist, and Ashely- my right hand girl….. we made this very special session happen. Thank you.

This couple could not be more deserving of  little twin babes. He just adores her- it was so fun to be around them. They exude love for each other and their two little ones. These little babies have no idea of the love that they have in store for them. Blessed kiddos for sure.

So now as mom snuggles into the hospital for the duration-we wait to meet these little ones. I am so grateful that we were able to capture this exciting time of anticipation.

So stay tuned for their debut!

 We are ringing in the New Year here at Munchkins and Mohawks.

I have been reflecting on such a wonderful year both personally and professionally.

We welcomed our third baby into our family this past spring.

 

The other two-well they are pretty amazing as well!

My little guy has made amazing strides this year- we are so proud of him.

And my middle- she is just a riot! Her personality definitely bloomed this year. One of a kind for sure!

and professionally. I am doing what I absolutely love-

styled portrait commissions.

I love creating art for families.

So now- going through 2011 in review. I selected one image from each session that spoke to me- my favorites, to share with all of you.
