One of my favorite family photo shoots yet has been our fall cotton field family photos at Schaefer’s Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze in Mayflower, Arkansas. No doubt, we have plenty of pumpkin patches in Arkansas. As far as I know, Shaefer’s Corn Maze is one of only a few corn mazes in Arkansas – or at least in the central Arkansas area. And it has a nice little cotton field for taking pictures.
Cotton Field Family Photos at Schaefer’s Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze in Mayflower, AR
When Lori Sparkman, our longtime family photographer, suggested taking our family photos in the cotton field at Shaefer’s Pumpkin Patch in Mayflower, AR, I was all about it! Mayflower is about a 40 minute drive from our house. It was nice to get a little out of town and see some Arkansas country.
We did this cotton field photo shoot at the end of October – on the same day we did our other photo shoot with boho chic outfits. The cotton was starting to brown just a bit, but it still made for a nice backdrop for cotton field photos on a beautiful October Sunday.

Pink and Brown Outfits with Stripes
I chose pink and brown outfits for us to wear this year with a few graphic stripes mixed in. Sometimes, it is hard to picture colors that compliment brown. All of my colors are from the warm side of the color wheel.
First, I bought both girls adorable velveteen rompers from Bailey’s Blossoms. SB’s is a rust brown and LO’s is a dusty pink.
That was my first direction in narrowing down an outfit color combination for our fall photos. Next, I added my brown cardigan which matches to Little One’s brown romper. The rust brown coloring of the romper and cardigan tie in with the natural brown in the cotton field.
Next Scooter Britches’ dusty pink romper was given an extra dose of pizazz with a graphic black-and-white striped shirt. This led to my own black-and-white striped shirt with black pants. The Hubs’ shirt is a deep burgandy-ish color which ties well with the dusty pink, and it matched the girls’ floral headbands perfectly.
I’m pretty happy with the pink and brown color combination! If you are wondering how to match colors of your clothes, choose one favorite item first and then check with a color wheel. From there, you can decide how bold you want to go or if you want to keep things analogous, neutral, or within the same color family.
How sweet is this little five year old?
