I’m A Mother Of 11 Children, And I Love Capturing Them Interacting With Farm Animals (30 Pics)
My 11 children have always loved animals! Before moving to beautiful Thompson Falls, Montana, we lived in rural Northwestern Arizona and had what I refer to as a mini-farm with chickens, ducks, bunnies, and one very spoiled cat.
I have always been fascinated by the natural connection children share with animals and love documenting that bond through my photography. This is a small collection of my favorite portraits I've created over the years showing the love my kids have for their animals.
Now that we live in what I consider to be one of the most stunningly gorgeous parts of the country, I hope to continue taking portraits like these in our new home. The mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, and wildlife are truly inspiring to me and have given new life and inspiration to my photography. I hope these make you smile as they do me!'

I actually wouldn’t recommend holding bunnies like this, whether it’s for a photo or not. Being flipped on their back is very unnatural and they typically have one of two reactions: 1. Freeze up in fear or 2. Start wildly kicking to be put down. It’s a cute photo though

All the ducks surrounding her(?) makes me think of her being the mummy duck and all the others being the baby ducks!

I think she might have adopted some of them because not all of the children shares the same features

A bunny on your lap that doesn't move isn't comfortable and happy, but frozen from fear. That's their reaction to danger. And yeah, most children are horrible to animals (grabbing them, squeesing them...) as are most adults.

sorry to be a buzzkill, but animals arent props for photoshoots, especially timid animals like bunnies, birds, & cats. & letting kids that young interact with/hold skittish animals that dislike loud noises, sudden movements, & tight grips? hell no. that's how animals get hurt or killed. now for the 11 kids part... i'm sorry, but no matter what you tell yourself, it is physically impossible for two parents to work enough to support a family that large & simultaneously give each child all the attention they require. i feel so sorry for the older siblings who end up with tons of responsibilities they never asked for & absolutely no privacy because they have to share with their siblings & watch over them all the time. such a selfish decision for parents to make. only have as many children as you can successfully raise. 11 is a recipe for neglect & resentment once theyre older.

I have five bunnies (Evan, Michael, Eliza, Laurens, Sonny), and these bunnies are so well behaved compared to mine.

O my gosh! You are SUCH a good photographer, and also, you're kids are adorable and I love them all with not even meeting them. The animals are so cute and they add a lot to these pictures. Keep up the GREAT work.

Please tell me these kids were adopted and not a result of mindless breeding on an already overpopulated planet

With all due respect, people have the choice to have how many kids they want to have, ask they are being responsible with their resources. I'm going to assume that they live somewhere quite rural, and are more likely to be self-sufficient, and respect resources. (You have beautiful kids btw!!)

Gotta admire the patience here, not only to capture these amazing moments on camera so well, but to have 11 kids! wow! The pictures are stunning, though x3

These were all beautiful, the backgrounds and animals and kids were all very pretty

I upvoted literally every single one of these. You have absolutely beautiful children, and amazing photography skills!

Not saying I had a bad child-hood, because I didn't, but I would've loved to have grown up in the country with lots of different animals, we had dogs and cats but we lived in a pretty shitty part of the city.

Very sweet! I didn't even know animals like mules could be cute. My favorites are the ones with the little chicks and the bunnies, possibly because I'm a soft touch.

These were all adorable. But #22 made me anxious right off with that little one so close to the water. (And I'm sure someone was just out of the picture watching her - I'm just saying my initial feeling....)

Come on everyone, Jill had an initial feeling, stop the press!
