Mommy + new camera lens = lots of photos

So, I got a new lens for my camera.  And I have been having lots of fun with it.  My son’s baby book might never have a picture actually put in it, but I assure you that it isn’t for a lack of choices.

Love the look on this little guys face.  IMG_7946

There is something about black and white shots of little people that I just adore.

Especially when they are wearing contrasting stripes.  That works nicely.

C likes to chat with me during these sessions.  He has a lot to say.  I believe right now he is thanking me for the camera lens cover that he came across on the floor.

The lens does a lovely job outside!   Now, what is this child so happy about?IMG_8161 (1)

Oh, it’s is his daddy!

Daddy makes this little one just crack up like no one else can!

The lens does a lovely job indoors as well, capturing that precious face!

And even daddy, who doubted the lens, had his own fun picture session with C.   C loves this door toy!  Peek-a-boo!

Without a doubt, outdoors is truly my favorite place to go for photos.  Taking a few moments to study the grass is an important endeavor.

Lounging around on a blanket in the sunshine works for me too!  And look…he found that camera lens over again!  No, it isn’t really considered a toy, but it seems to work well when I am taking his picture.

Oh what a precious little face!

I have a lot to learn about shutter speed and f-stops, but I couldn’t have a cuter 8 month old to practice on.

And yes, I am proudly biased!

What great pictures! In the first few I think he looks a lot like his grandpa (on your side). Makes me want to go buy a nice camera :)

He is a cutie! 8 mths already?!?! He has grown so much!! Keep taking those great pics, they are awesome! I have been amazed at what a good camera and lens can do... we just got a zoom lens which I am so excited about... especially now that spring sports are starting!
