Vintage Madalyn

One of the coolest things from Lightroom is this antique photo look.... so here is a quick storyboard from these pics.

In Celebration of My OTHER New Lens

In Celebration of My New Lens

My business bought me a late Christmas present this year.... and I am in LOVE. It is a new lens for my new camera and it is AMAZING. I only wish these photos could do it justice, but Madalyn was totally not into posing today. Allie and Ava cooperated a little bit when I took the lens out of the box.... but not for long.

I have Savannah today, tomorrow and Friday so maybe I can do a mini shoot with the girls and play with it then.

December Update

As an early Christmas present to me (well, really to keep Uncle Sam from getting as much tax money LOL) I recently picked up an awesome new lens to go with my awesome new camera! That's right... I have done well enough in 6 months with my business to be able to afford both a new camera (the 40D by Canon) and this new lens, which is an 85 mm 1.8 for all you camera people out there. The camera got here a week ago and I used it at the wedding I shot last weekend (check it out on my photo blog) The new lens came yesterday... and Madalyn wasnt loving me for wanting me to shoot her, so I practiced on the tree (finally! A willing subject in this house!) I am only wishing that I had this to do the tree pictures, but no such luck. Maybe next year....

Maddie is super excited about Santa... she sees him everywhere and points him out and says "ho ho" (hasnt added the third "ho" yet. For Christmas this year she wants Elmo Live (hint hint Santa Claus) and lots of books.

Only two more work days for me and then we are off to Cape Coral for Christmas at my parents...
