This beautiful images was made in Marin County, outside of San Francisco, California. I can’t help but think it was all in a fairytale.

A fairy went a-marketing -
She bought a coloured bird;
It sang the sweetest, shrillest song
That ever she had heard.
She sat beside its painted cage
And listened half the day,
And then she opened wide the door
And let it fly away.

A fairy went a-marketing -
She bought a winter gown
All stitched about with gossamer
And lined with thistledown.
She wore it all the afternoon
With prancing and delight,
Then gave it to a little frog
To keep him warm at night.

A fairy went a-marketing -
She bought a gentle mouse
To take her tiny messages,
To keep her tiny house.
All day she kept its busy feet
Pit-patting to and fro,
And then she kissed its silken ears,
Thanked it, and let it go.

 Book your San Francisco shoot for this upcoming October HERE

We have been busy catching butterflies and dreams here at Munchkins and Mohawks….

It’s the busiest time of the year but also the best time of the year.

This pretty little family drove 16 hours all the way from Oklahoma to create some magic with us! It’s days like these where I really need to pinch myself…

Presets used from PHOTOGRAPHERS TOOLS *NEW* VIDEO EDITING TUTORIALS

Enjoy a little magic on this glorious Monday morning!

Oh and NEW SET from PHOTOGRAPHER’S TOOLS coming soon….ain’t it pretty???

Glamorous, though, I am not so sure. Most of the time I can be spotted in yoga pants with Hunter boot and a harmonica hanging out of my mouth. Then there is the sneezing things off my head, sifting through tall grasses, and laying in the snow. Buuut-

when you get a shot like this it makes it all worth it!!!

I am sooo in love with this image : – ) And isn’t she just the prettiest little princess.

My favorite little crowns from If the Crown Fits

She really liked me when I stripped her down and let her roll around on the floor. It is so fun to see then learning lots of new tricks. Every time I would put her on her belly she would roll on back over. It was so cute! Plus she was really proud!

And little miss and her dad. She’s got his heart already.

But seriously, this family was GORG!!!!!
I really do have the best job in the world. I hope your images make you as happy as they do me !
~ENJOY~

Don’t forget – if you love these images you can Pin them to Pinterest.

If The Crown Fits is a beautiful little shop with all sorts of pretties for you princess. Clothes- check, snow- check, crown- check, happy child- well……..

Really it was pretty much over before it started. See that shot near the end of the set. Yep- that is my baby girl throwing really cold and wet snow.  It was all down hill from there. The stinging pain of frostbitten hands pretty much stinks more than anything

That’s it.

Wait- I lied. That wasn’t it. I was pretty discouraged by the screeches of my sweet girl, that when one of my best friends Taryn, from Blu Hippo Photography, came over she insisted that I go jump into some clothes and get in there.  How convenient to have a BFF be a photog ; – ) Since my girlie was still dressed and the baby had woken up game was on. At least for another 60 seconds.

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!

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.

Now tell me  your favorites! Here is how it works………..
