Children are the source of all the magic in the universe.I like to capture that magic through digital photo artistic manipulations.It all started from my fascination with fairys and fantasy.An obsession really.Also my love for photographing my three kids who are the center of my world (as all parents would know)

Unicorn Friends



Align Center




these are some the photos I fused together to create "Fairy's Friend"










The Legend of Unicorns


It all started when a young unicorn lost his way.
Playing in the woods he took a wrong turn
and then was completely lost.
He stood trembling , sad lost , and alone.
Then out of nowhere a pixie appeared
and took hold of his horn
"Follow me my friend , for I know of one who can help"
announced the sparkling littly pixie
Frightened and uncertain as he was
he followed her along.
He followed the cute little pixie
in all of her pixie dust trails
through the enchanted green woods.
Past the largest of moss covered trees
there sat a beautuful rose fairy .
"Oh rose fairy , can you help me please?"
asked the young creature in his little voice
" I am so tired , and I have lost my way"
"Of course little one"she said
in her magical voice
Then she flew high in the air
and searched all around for his unicorn mother.
And when she found her , she blew her magic light
toward where she stood waiting
"There you are my young friend,
she is right down there waiting"said the rose Fae.
He found his mother there as the fairy said she would be
The unicorns were so grateful
to the fairies.
They promised to carry the fairies
whenever they needed a ride through the meadows.


And Legend has it, that to make sure
that the little unicorn would never loose his way again
The fairies gave their horns the gift of magic
that would always light their way.
The unicorns kept their promise
They run with the fairies on top of their
magical backs.
And that lost little unicorn grew
into a beautiful steed.
who gives the surest , fastest ride of all.

Enchanted Forest
























Usually I'll take a photo I like ,and work with it for awhile untill I figure out how I want it to look. Sometimes , however ,I'll see one and just know instantly .I guess some photo' s just have a spark of magic that way !



This photo came from a series of shots I took of my girls with the intention of attempting some more mystical mermaid creations(which I still haven't done) . Kaylee , the oldest said " it looks like child porn mom !". When my husband saw it , he just about freaked . C'mon seriously ? She IS wearing a bathing suit after all. So the very FIRST thing I had to do is Paint on a dress !


I painted some make-up , and some hair extensions (most fairies have long hair).The wings came from a photo of a butterfly , which I colorized a bit. and of course ALL fairies have magic Fairy dust all around them ! I love painting the sparly stuff ! Then I painted the foilage and extra vines onto this forest photo and gave it some softness for blending too.Also , all forest scenes should have mushrooms , so I placed an shaded a few.Then finally added the butterfly with simmilar wings to finish the scene.


I entitled this one "Cousins"
