“My father had skin like leather
Hands like steel
From a lifetime spent in the cotton fields
Though he’d come home tired and dirty
Almost every night
He found the strength to smile at me and hold my mama tight
While that old transistor radio would play the op’ry out in the hall
I’d sit and watch their shadows glide across the wall
And they’d dance to a Dixie lullaby
Picture of love beneath the southern sky
Oh my, what a beautiful life
Just like a Dixie lullaby”
Thank you so much Patrick Family for having me out to your beautiful Cotton Fields in Corpus Chrisit, Texas! I loved every minute of my time there. This was such an eye opening experience for me seeing how much time + work goes into farming. The long hours spent out in the fields and the time away from your precious family.
Here’s a little sneak into this beautiful families session in their cotton fields….
A Mamma and her precious babies… the little one snuck off with daddy for a little.
Love this beautiful couple!!! They are both such an inspiration.
Oh…. how cute is he?!!!! And I loved this Magnolia Market crate Laura brought along for the session!
And then she danced…. We had the best time in these cotton fields! I cannot wait to do this again next year!!
These tiny hands and this cotton.
Strike a pose for me… Perfect! Ah… he is just sooo cute!!!
Goodness… the light + those eyes + her amazing little freckles…. oh so perfect!!!
I can hear her sweet laughter! She is just too cute!
Just adorable! She is such a little model. She was striking a pose for me every chance she got! ha!! Just so cute!!!
We ended the session with a tractor ride through the cotton fields. Everything about this session was perfect!
I cannot wait to do this again in 2017!!! Keep eye on the blog… I plan to open up Mini + Full sessions for Summer 2017!
