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.

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…

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………..

We had a great holiday here. Got some much needed rest and relaxation and are ready to welcome all the good that 2012 has to offer!

Make sure you check back for “The Best of 2011″ blog post coming soon. We will be giving away some cool stuff for the winners!

I am looking forward to photographing  some new faces and lots of familiar ones too!

You may recognize this familiar face from his newborn shoot. Well- 16 months later little brother has made his grand entrance…..late I might add! ( Poor momma!)

There was lots of blood, sweat and tears to get this shot! Well- maybe not blood, but hey the sweat part for sure!

Cousin joined us for part of the session- man he was such an awesome helper!

And all cuddled up and pooped out from the business of the day. Let’s hope he stayed that way for a while for mom.

This last session of 2011 was a great way to end the year.

Here is to a blessed year for all!

Welcome 2012

She is one of those people that gives without expecting anything in return:

“Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked.”

Luke 6:35

Okay- not that I am her enemy : – ), but hey she is always helping other local photographers……..potentially her competition. She has instilled in me a sense of sharing with other in our field. When I was first starting out her and another great photographer David Burke would help guide me.

They give me confidence and encouragement, along with some great technical and practical knowledge. I am forever grateful.

Onto the pictures!  We were blessed with amazingly beautiful sunshine, buuuut it was a tad chilly. I am pretty sure we almost lost little mister to frostbite.

So even with an abbreviated session I think we captured this family just beautifully. They really are beautiful on the inside and out!

Thank you again Heather & Co.
