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 am blown away by the fancy little frocks that come from Persnickety Clothing Company. They are childhood. Beautiful. Playful. Colorful. and Fun. So take a moment to enjoy the splendor that they create.

Look at your little ones and realize just how precious they are. Full of hope, freedom and joy.

Encourage them. Love them. And let them be little.

Do the things that make memories.

Dance a little………

Play pretend…..

Look for rainbows…..

Daydream…..

quietly steal your moms flowers……

Swing as high as you can……

From the minute they contacted me I knew this was going to be something special. Their circumstances were extraordinary.

The babies to be were going to be showered in so much love that it was amazing to be part of it. From their gorgeous – all be it last minute- maternity session to our peaceful day of cuddling them for their own shoot, they have been lovely through and though.

What an honor to be able to be part of such an intimate time in their lives. To capture life as it created ……ahhhh-mazing!

Now onto the the twins!

They couldn’t be more different.  From looks to personality- they may be twins, but they are going to be leaving their own stamps on the world for sure. He is mild mannered and peaceful. She is spunky and vivacious. But both were just so fun to cuddle!!!!

Now enjoy!

just fun

thanks for looking!

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 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

His mom really knows how to dress this kiddo. Of course I always have some ideas, but I never have a doubt that she is going to bring something fabulous.

Now lets quit monkeying around and get to the pictures!

Seriously- we could have left after these images : – )…..He totally rocked it! haha

I love the relationship I form with my clients….. you may remember the older sister’s newborn images from  a few years back……..

Lucy’s Newborn images.

It is crazy to me how much these siblings looked alike. Now Lucy has changed so much from her newborn shoot- but the resemblance is amazing!

With the shot below I tried to recreate a coordinating image for the little brother ; – ) I think the tones are just gorgeous.

Enjoy!

The little prince and princess.

What a beautiful family!
