I have to say that photographing children is probably my favorite thing to do.  I love putting on my wide angle lens, getting really close to my subject and just clicking away as the "ham" in any kid unfolds.  I am pretty lucky to have a lot of kids in my extended family and this gathering I realized I have not photographed all the kids before.  I took the opportunity at Jacob's fourth birthday celebration to finally photograph some really amazing little ones and I am happy to share.  Believe it or not, this is not even half of the kids in my family.  You should see Christmas time (pure craziness).
