this family was bunches of fun for me…they have five kids too.
but they get to live on a farm.
lucky. (said in my best napoleon dynamite voice)
it was beautiful and calm and peaceful out there…other than the five kids.
but i have five kids so i don't even hear that sound any more.
the only boy, james.
the lone ranger.
he tried to avoid the camera but was hanging on my legs the whole time…which i loved.
baby teeth!!!
they make me happy.
i think every family needs this picture.
they are so fun to take.
and this is my favorite.
the chaos around them…the laughing…i know what this is like…this is like my house!

elizabeth - You really are such an incredible photographer — ever think about coming out to Los Angeles? Do you ever photograph families that have a child with special needs?
Jessie - All are beautiful. You are so talented. I especially loved the last two–the final one choked me up–a full house in love. Love your blog.
Amy at The Red Chair Blog - These photos are fantastic. Love the 2nd to last one of the faces in a circle.
jody - Oh, I thought the same thing (as Laura)!!!
What a beautiful family and such good chaos!
I just had my 4th…and I am nearly 40…plus I nurse for a long time…which would put me at say 41 or 42 if we did #5…oh, and people are already asking my husband if he’s our kid’s grandpa! Yikes!!! But still, just when I thought we were “done”…those thoughts have been haunting me!
Exciting, not knowing what God has in store…it’s always good to be open to possibility I suppose!
I do just love this blog, Meg…and so excited about my little pillow purchase!

andrea - great job, i love the last two, i wish someone would take some pics of us like that
casey - I LOVE the black and white picture of the family laying down. Very artistic and timeless! Great eye on all of these. They are precious!
Allikayes Mama - I love that last one!!! I am coming to KS so you can take our pics! I think it would only be like 4 hours?! Not bad!! :0)

Kathy - great family picts! I love the last two really special.

Renee - Gorgeous pictures. Thanks for sharing. I came from a family of six, and never thought I’d have a family of my own (5). The chaos. Oh, the chaos. Someday it won’t be there and I’m sure I’ll miss it like crazy. I, too, have noticed people around us expanding their brood beyond the “nuclear” 2.5 kids. Safety in numbers, I guess! LOL xoxo
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - I LOVE the last 2 pictures. You are sooooo good. I love how you actually capture the hearts of your subjects.
Heather - Wow, what a treasury of photographs! The last picture brought tears to my eyes, it was just perfect and I don;t even know these people! They look so very, very happy and I am happy for them.
Sandy Toes - what cute kids!
Love that last picture so VERY much!

Rebekah - At least the snake was dead! I love the last picture.
Jocelyn Stott - Beautiful photos and beautiful family.
Laura Phelps - Chaos? Where? Isn’t this what everybody’s day looks like???
I met a mom at the pediatrician yesterday…she had 6 kids.
And suddenly, my 4 seemed like not enough.
But then I remembered.
Remembered how CRAZY the 4th baby made me. Truly insane. Have lost my mind.
And then this morning I see THIS.
Beautiful children.
FIVE of them.
And I am thinking those scary thoughts…
“Five IS a great number…”
