A heap of my babies are turning one and I struggle to cope with that. I hate them turning one, there I said it. Why? Because that means they are growing up. That means that time is going way to fast. It means that my year of documenting them comes to an end.

I love watching them grow. I love every session we do together. I love seeing their behaviour change and their personalities grow. I love watching them turn from a needy little bubby who depends on their mother for everything, to a little grown up who at the age of one, thinks they can do anything in their little world. I love the attitudes and I love the cheekiness.

This is Ella. I documented Ella’s arrival into the world and now she is big. In her eyes she is very big and the world is not going to stop her. She loves to run and run and run. There is no slowing this little Miss down, but why would you want to. She has the world at her feet and she should go for it. Big hugs and kisses Ella, you are gorgeous.
