She is such a blessing in my life. Her personality is easy going- funny- silly- and tender. She is quite the cuddler and has some killer kisses. Oh and she totally loves music- you can see her rockin out a bit here too.

And she looks like my grandma <3

my larger than life 26 lb star.

More good things to come in the next few days, but I just couldn’t hold this one back.

Good night beautiful people!

It was.

Our day was fun- peaceful- and made me want to hang out with this family all the time. These three little boys are so blessed to have been born into such a great place. Well done mom& dad.

Not only was mom calm and serene, but she was just gorgeous. I swear this image below looks like she was ripped out of the pages of Parents Magazine.

Then outside to play we went.

More fun times

And mission impossible shot!

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.

This is pretty much what are neighborhood looks like most day- minus the matching outfits. For the record my daughter is most often seen in rainbow striped sweatpants and Sketcher Twinkle Toes light up tennies ; – )*see below*

The cul de sac is flooded with girls. Lucky them- poor boys.

This is the preferred attire around here

See you all next week!

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*

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.
