Whit is three months old. His brave and easy going mom (of 5!) contacted me for portraits feeling terrible that she did not get any newborn portraits of Whit in his going home outfit, as she had done with here first four. Are you kidding me, I would be lucky to remember all their names let alone remember to schedule newborn pictures. So she squeezed Whit into his going home outfit and we snapped a few shots of him. I love it! Who cares that he is three months and not three days right? It fits and she got the shots… that is all that matters. I was even able to get a few shots of Whit with is proud brothers and sisters. Oh, and let me tell you this… when I see 4 children, a mom and a newborn approaching my house for a session I usually brace myself for a couple of hours of screeching, tears, a few fights that have to be broken up. Well not this party of five. They by far have to be the most well behaved siblings I have ever been around and such great helpers. They are all welcome to my home anytime! Their behavior and manners says a lot about how great of a job their mom and dad have done. These five have been raised right. Cuddos to you mom and dad on a not so motley crew! Enjoy your sneak peek Cox family!!!

I just love a green summer field. In Arkansas we get so much rain through the summer that we have the greenest fields. As a matter of fact we just beat a storm this session… ending as the rain and thunder came rolling in.

When my close friend Sarah said yes lets do Eli’s one year portraits (she is the type of mom you have to remind to take pictures… strange I know) I knew just where I wanted to take Eli and his big sister Kaelee and big brother Owen. There is this old barn and field by my house that I like to sneak into for sessions. I dream that someday I will own the barn and the property but until then I sneak. In case you do not remember Eli’s newborn shoot I start with a picture of him at just a few days old and follow that with a snap of him at one. I just love watching babies and kids grow through photographs!

I think Eli is just perfect and so are the big kids! ps… my favorite is the last image!

Enjoy your sneak peek VanGundy family it was fun to spend a summer night with the kids in a field, chaos and all!
