My day.....

... was spent with 6 darling children....actually 4 kids 2-4 years old, one 1 year old and one baby that just turned 1.

It was a perfect day...busy...but perfect.

Have I said enough how much I love children...I really do.

I love how girls can be sassy and forcing myself to let them have that freedom (to an extent of course), I love how a 2 year old explores talking with her hands on her hips, I love my girls totally fired up to see their friends, I've loved how I've watched my girls build friendships. I love how my little guy likes to follow his sisters around...and they let him. I especially love how my baby boy is totally smitten with babies and tries to figure them out.

Today was busy but I was happy.

Now, be warned...if you ever leave your children with me, be prepared.

Be prepared that they most likely will play with a waterhose and get filthy...and if you're having a birthday, you'll get a mini photo session.

Little miss sweet cheeks turned 1.

And one year ago, I photographed her when she was just days old.

To her family, I've loved getting to know each of your daughters and just love each of them to pieces.

Sadly, in our new house it's also a light dungeon from the sunscreens...these pictures were taken at a super slow shutter speed. For me, I personally prefer to stay above 1/125 SS as I don't have a very steady hand. Although, I was happy with the captures at 1/80 SS with an f2.

The SS totally gets the sweet movements of her little active hands.
