Last week I submitted a photo to Pioneer Woman's photo contest, and it got picked as a 'favorite!' The theme was actually Your Favorite Photos, and I chose one from Lauren's maternity photoshoot a while back (yes, she has a cute little belly under that bowl of cherries!!). It's funny how you can have a hundred photo shoots, but still come back to one that may be your all time favorite. I had this session when I was FIRST starting out, was still learning the ins and outs of my camera, and didn't even have a professional camera yet.
But I think because there is so much love in this family, and Lauren is just so sweet, I always come back to this shoot as one of my favorites. I know my skill has improved LOADS, but no matter how much you learn and equipment you buy, nothing replaces creativity and heart.
Anyway, I was just super excited and wanted to share!!!! xoely

Congrats!! This is so awesome! What an honor to be featured on Pioneer Woman's site. You are so talented:)
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Question: what kind of camera are you using now? And what kind of lens?
Thanks! I was pretty excited! I'm using a nikon d700, and various lenses. Are you looking to get a new camera??
ReplyDeleteHey, congrats! That's great!
ReplyDeleteI love the smirk on her face.
Not a new camera, but a new lens. I'm using the Canon Rebel, and I really love it. But I just feel like I could get better pictures with a different lens. I'm really just dreaming b/c I can't afford a lens right now, but I still think about it all the time! I just need to do some more research into what kind of lens would be best for an upgrade.
ReplyDeleteI still think it's so awesome that you were featured on PW's site:)
You should look into getting a low aperture fixed lens, like a 50mm f/1.4. It's a great little lens, and isn't terrible expensive (in the spectrum of lenses anyway). That's one of the first lenses I got, and I still use it.
