The Whole Gang

The day before Thanksgiving, we headed out for the amazing task of capturing a group picture of Sam and all of his Texas cousins (the Cheatham gang). My friend Melissa(http://www.melissadarstphoto.com/) said she was up for the challenge although I'm not sure she knew what she was getting herself into! She actually got some really great shots. Between two toddlers and my sweet nephew with autism, we have quite a challenging group to say the least. My mom had the idea of putting jersey style shirts on them to show their birth order. I love the way they turned out! Luckily, we managed to get them in their element and capture the love/chaos! Enjoy!

This one was taken on my dad's antique tractor.
He collects them and donated one to Nash Farm in Grapevine, TX. The other big thing in the background is some other kind of equipment donated by one of my uncles.

Although he is 150% boy, Sam doesn't really like to get his hands dirty. The cans were rusty and he had dirt on them which, as you can see, he was overly concerned about. These are my brother Kelly's 4 kiddos.

These are the 3 girls...Halle Caroline, Emily, and Ellison.
There was a goat in that pen...I can't believe she got Sam to actually look at the camera!
