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!

The one where he's shoving his dirty fingers in his mouth just kills me! Also love the one with puppy crawling in his lap.; August 29, 2011 at 1:11 PM

The first pic is so Carsen! I love his face in the photo with Sage!

I can't wait to see your new lens!; August 29, 2011 at 2:08 PM

I love these photos of Carsen. He getting so big. And his lashes kill me too. Good job momma!; August 29, 2011 at 3:16 PM
I'm Cassie... said...: What a great treat after working the weekend and having Matt gone!

The first one is beautiful! I am with Alissa. That hair is too handsome to cut!

I also love the photo where he is sitting in the rocks and staring at his hands. It makes me smile. I wonder what he is thinking when he looks at his fingers like that?

The eating dirt one is too cute! I'm so happy you let him get a few mouthfuls in!

And Sage is so pretty. I really really want to meet her!; August 29, 2011 at 9:20 PM
