The Baxter Family at Cobus Creek Park in Osceola, Indiana
You may remember this gorgeous family from their previous session where I first really introduced you all to my assistant pig! Well they are back and as beautiful as ever!
We kicked off the session with Miss Viv giggling, “Hey lady! You’ve got a pig in your pocket!” The perfect start :)
The Baxter family (Kevin, Stephanie, Griffin, Vivian, and Miss Lola) were joined by Kevin’s parents this round for some updated family photos. I last was able to capture them in the fall at St. Patrick’s Park, and it’s still just crazy how much their kids have grown in that amount of time!
Viv just celebrated her fourth birthday, and Griffin was just a few weeks shy of his seventh birthday during this session. Seemed like the perfect time to capture their ornery smiles and sweet giggles.
One of the most fun things about this family is that you get to see their true selves, including all of the hilarious jokes between them all. I won’t share all of them (you’re welcome, Stephanie) but one line that definitely had me laughing and will always stick with me is hearing Stephanie say “I get licked all the time. All the time.” But I definitely wasn’t stopping anybody when it let me snap photos of her laughing this much!
Originally Grandma and Grandpa came along to handle Lola when she wasn’t in images, but I gave fair warning that they wouldn’t be able to sit out the whole session. How cute are these two? They willingly jumped right in and followed along with all of my prompts of “Whisper something I shouldn’t hear!” and “Pull in her like ‘Yeah that’s my woman!’”
Cobus Creek has easily become one of my favorite places to have sessions. Every season it presents something new and beautiful to serve as the backdrop of every click. The sensory garden was blooming beautifully on this summer eve and it glowed a little extra something special with such a gorgeous family enjoying it!
Thank you, Baxter family, for trusting me once again to capture this chapter and attempt to freeze time while your children grow so fast! And thank you, Lola, for being a patient and regal subject to capture in the golden hour glow. You are a very sweet girl!
