Monday was my birthday. I had saved up Amazon Gift Cards so that I could buy a new lens for my camera, I was only short $45 so that part was covered by my mom and dad as part of Christmas! Thanks Mom and Dad! I bought a Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR
It will definitely take some getting used to, I shoot a lot with my 300mm…so it’s a huge change! Here are a few shots of my girls that I took with it yesterday.
Morgan got an awesome new hair cut! I love it!
Lauren’s top two teeth are extremely loose! They should come out any day! Maybe today is the day? They are so loose that they stick out over her lip hahaha!
Lauren loves to climb trees, her daddy gave her this tree in our front yard. She loves her tree!
Emma was running around and slipped on a stick! Yes a stick! Don’t worry! I had already given her hugs and kisses before taking this photo. She was just telling me what happened.
Just minutes later she is back to normal…she really needs some chapstick!

love them! And I absolutely love my f/1.8 lens too. I love how much light it lets in!
Yes, I bought it for low light situations…I need to get a second camera badly.
Your photos always leave me wishing I had such talent! Absolutely gorgeous and your daughter’s haircut is super cute! Happy {late} Birthday!!
Thank you so much 🙂
Oh my gosh those photos are gorgeous! All the colors in the eyes are popping and beautiful!
My girls all have super bright eyes. Two blues and one green like her mama 🙂 Thanks!
Wow, it takes beautiful pictures (with some help from you of course, lol).
I think it will be great for low light situations, but on a nice sunny day I don’t really think it’s needed. I find myself trying to zoom into get closer and you can’t hahaha!
Christmas came early for you. Nice! Beautiful pics.
thank you 🙂
Pictures are GREAT! I want your camera ;).
Thanks…
I really don’t have a spectacular camera though…I think it has more to do with the fact that I have been shooting for over half my life (which is a long time with my most recent birthday added in….ugh….I’m old!). I have a lot of practice and shoot every day whether it is a client or just for me. That is the biggest thing…shoot EVERYDAY. The camera is just a tool…so no matter what camera you have…just shoot!
Great vibrant colors!!
Thanks! We had a nice sunny day to work with 🙂
I fell in love with my camera when I got my 1st 50mm. Great shots you grabbed too!
Thanks!
hubby want to upgrade to a dslr badly… he has a manual nikon fg so he keeps looking at nikon dslr’s. now if he would only stop spending money on other toys he might be able to get one…argg!
Morgan looks so grown up with the cute cut 😉
It’s a slow process to save to get what you need…but it is how I have bought all of it.
I just got a 50mm for my canon and absolutely love it. The eyes in all your photos look great! Do you use lightroom or photoshop?
I process in Photoshop. All 3 of my girls have beautiful eyes. 2 blues and 1 green like me 🙂 Thanks!
Great shots! And I really love that cupcake. Your girls are beautiful. You captured them beautifully. One of these days maybe I can have a camera besides my silly little point and shoot Canon Power Shot.
Thanks! Hey, You can get photos with a point and shoot! I still love my little Fuiji!! I also love my EVO smart phone camera as well!
What awesome photos! You put your new lens to great use! You have a beautiful family.
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous girls and gorgeous photos.
I have got to get me one of those lenses!!
You are an awesome photographer.
HUGGLES!!
Thank you!
Great shots – hope you’re pleased with your new lens – happy birthday for Monday!
Totally! I have to get used to a prime though! I shoot so often with my super duper spy lens that I keep catching myself trying to zoom with the 50!
You must be having an absolute blast with the lens. You sure had pretty subjects to shoot!
Thanks! I’ll be using it for one of my jobs on Saturday! Can’t wait!
The pics of the girls are awesome! My little Morgan is now a beautiful teen. Jeremy keep those boys in line! I love her haircut. Gorgeous on her. Happy after Birthday for you and your bro again. Luv

Yes, it’s cut super short on one side right behind her ear. Thanks!
Cupcake looks yummy. Love Morgan’s hair.

I love these. I’m saving up for a DSLR camera and I can’t wait.
Thanks so much!
Great shots– your girls eyes look totally magic… is that some kind of special effect?
Cheers
Libby
