Shopping

What do you get when the blonde and brunette's go shopping?




Nice!!!

No, we didn't purchase these headbands...with feathers.





Or, these aweful hats.  Or, the 80's sweatshirts.





But, we did capture our smiles and a much needed mommy day off!

f 1.8

My mail box was FULL the other day.  There was a little brown package with my name on it.  "Huh? What could this be?"  I carried my load of mail into the house to greet Carsen.  A few hours went by and I still had not opened that package.  Once I opened the box to see what was inside I gasped with joy!  With Matt away on a 8 day hunting trip,  working my three, 12 hour shifts while balancing a baby-sitter and training our new puppy to sit, I had totally forgotten what I had ordered.  I think you will understand the excitement in my next sentence...

MY NEW LENS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It came and I had forgotten all about it!  My 50 mm f 1.8 Canon lens was brand new and so beautiful!  After taking an online photography class, I learned about this lens that was priced so perfectly! 

This morning I dressed Carsen for his first photoshoot with the f 1.8.  I could't wait to try it out.  The sun was bright, dew was all over the grass, and Carsen was not wanting to look at the camera.   I hope to improve with some more practice. 














My favorite...Those lashes kill me everytime!  Carsen loves to play in and eat dirt.





I get that look from Carsen a lot...I know I appear crazy to him but I can't stop taking pictures!  I love photography and all the crazy challenges that go a long with it!
