the new love of my life

or at least my photography life anyway. I just took the plunge and got the new Nikon D300. I had the hardest time deciding, because as much of an impulse shopper as I am sometimes, it is really hard for me to spend my own hard earned photography cash on a big purchase. But, I am so happy I did! It is almost magic, especially because it was such a big jump from my last camera. I did it so I would be able to offer prints that are REALLY REALLY BIG. Because some people are into that. 

Also, today I had a fun little get together with some of my photographer buddies. Thanks for coming girls! You are all so inspiring and I learn so much from each of you. Sorry it was so nuts in my little house with all our kids. =) We can make a few changes for next time. 

Here is a pic I took of either Lauren or Hallie (sorry chels, I can't tell in this pic!!) just messing around with white balance. It's a little soft, but I actually really like it! Something about that binkie hanging so precariously from her little lips- so sweet. And these girls love their binkies! In case you were wondering, this pic was taken at 2500 ISO, as were the spaghetti pictures!!!! Those Nikon people were on the ball with this one. Love it!
