I think I might be in love with my camera.
For those of you who asked, YES….all I was using is a point and shoot called the the Sony-f828….so nice. It had full manual capabilities and was a really great camera until I realized that I was missing the really sharp, sharp images that I new only a DSLR could provide. Great camera….and it now is passed down to my husband who has been trying to get me to share it for 3 years. (I am an only child and don’t like to share anything)
and Katie just wanted to pop in and say hi….

These photographs are stunning.
This is exactly what I am talking about when I say I can’t wait to upgrade myself….. maybe this spring time…..
So happy for your new addition.
Mandy, these are all perfect… You are gonna be so in trouble.. you wont want to stop taking pictures. Its so addicting when you have a great camera to work with. Love them, but my favorite is the last and her eyes are gorgeous! hugs, toni
Oh, abigails outfit IS gymboree! lol…
I knew that when you upgraded your gear you’d blow us all out of the water-I told you that, didn’t I? Well, consider me blown out of the water-these are fabulous, and your clarity is amazing. I’m betting I’ll see rockstar quality from you, girl.
Very cool shots!! I love the last one of your youngest… they both have such amazing eyes!! And man I am still blown away that you were using a P&S the whole time. You rock!! I cant wait to meet you
They’re all amazing!!! You’re amazing!! Hey, you even got JENN to comment…that’s HUGE!!!
These are gorgeous. I’m sorry. I’m having a hard time collecting my thoughts to compose a good comment, because I’m still kind of reeling that you’ve been using a P&S up until now. Just goes to prove, it’s more about what is behind the camera, huh?
These are just FABULOUS! And you totally had me fooled- I’d have never in a zillion years guessed you used a p&s before! Which goes to prove, when you’ve got it, you’ve git it! And girl, YOU’VE GOT IT BIG TIME!
I to can’t get over everything you took before was with a P&S like they say its not the equipment its the user. You are sooooooo way talented honestly.
A-Mazing! I can not believe that you were using a point and shoot before. I can’t wait to see what you’ll do now.
great capture. i love their eyes, so crisp an clear. gorgeous.
Gorgeous!!! I love them all.
You are rocking that camera girl…everyone of these makes me ohhhh and ahhhh!

Great shots. I just love the last one. Her expression and cute little cheeks are adorable.
I think I need a new camera now…LOL LOVE the pics! I wanna do that…
How funny, my husband keeps wanting to do photograhpy too, so I tell him he either has to cut his teeth on my old film slr and learn teh way I did, or he has to upgrade me to a better camera and he can have my hand-me-downs.
Love that first picture adn oh my goodness I just adore that last one. Adore it.
BEAUTIFUL! Congrats on the new camera!
I love them, as always.
Are you making a wish list of all kinds of lenses and goodies to go with your new camera?
