The light was low and not all that fabulous but she wanted to jump on our bed and I wanted to take pictures so I settled for a semi-slow shutter speed and some imperfect shots (that make me happy all the same.)
That one is my favorite. (Josh calls me 'The girl who cried favorite.')
And I've missed a bazillion question around here lately so if you have one, post it in the comments section (so I have them all in one place) and I'll try to get you some answers tomorrow or early next week.
I would LOVE to know what specific lenses you own to use with your Nikon D700. I wasn't clear on your post before. I have the Nikon 24-70mm and I love it for portraits. But for everyday, I need another lens and am not sure which one to buy. I got the impression above that I shouldn't go with the 50mm with my full frame. But, what SHOULD I go with. 85mm? 35mm? etc.
I really appreciate your advice.

LOL - you are the only person I "know" who may take more photos than I do. Sometimes I think that if I stacked all my photos chronologically, picked them up and flipped through them that I'd have a little flip-book "video" of my kids' lives. :-P

If I asked a camera question I would have no idea what your answer meant. But if you could share with us where you get Miss Annie's clothes and if they carry age 11 girl clothes that would be super since Annie rocks the adorableness! I read your blog not for camera stuff but because it is a really great blog!

LOve these pics so much!
The recent b&w of Annie...can you tell me the mm & aperture? Were you just standing or on a ladder? Love the bokeh! Would love to get a shot of each of my girls like that. :)
Are you still using your fave action combo or have you had to change it since switching to Nikon?
Do you ever use Noiseware of any kind? Your high ISO pics are not grainy. They are gorgeous!
Thanks in advance for your answers and Happy Friday!

love ALL your pictures always, but also waiting to see the scrapbook pages you said you were working on?

Gorgeous pictures yet again Karen!
My question is: I have a Canon 50mm F 1.8 II. If I was to buy one more lens, what would you recommend it be and why?
Posted by: Charlotte H | February 26, 2010 at 08:42 AM
Cute! And I love the update filmstrip pics across the top too!

Posted by: Lindi | February 26, 2010 at 10:21 AM
Oh Lady I tell ya. I waiver back and forth on your blog from inspired..... "I can so totally do this."
To "OMG fi.8 What???!!!"
Sometimes you just plain scare me. But your photos always call me back. :)

Hello Karen,
Just got on your site, My you are doing great! I still miss your scrapbook classes when you came to visit Scrapbook Connections and all your input into which camera to nag my hubby for. Yep I got my Cannon Rebel XSi. Love it but still learning.
I want to do some business with you,about taking some pictures for our 50th. anniversary. Do not want formal ones, want fun ones. If you are interested email me. thanks Kathy Carson
