I have been trying to give my new camera (it is a 5D Mark II for those that asked) a good workout with each of my lenses just to make sure there aren’t any issues with it and that I am 100% happy with it. I pulled out the macro this week to play a little and thought I would come share a few. I am not a macro photographer, I say that often, mostly because I cannot stand using a tripod and well, it is windy here. Two big things working against me, but here are a few I liked….

Six month olds are one of my absolute favorite ages to photograph. They are always so happy, but not yet mobile enough to get away from me. I love that it doesn’t take much to get eye contact and this age is soooo expressive, a photographer’s dream! I’ve always said that if you are going to splurge on custom portraits of your child, there is no better time than as a newborn (before 14 days) and at 6 months (sitting well but not fully crawling). It’s a small window on both accounts, but so, so worth it!!!!

And this little miss was no exception! It was a little cold this morning, but she was a champ, is she cute or what?!?! […]

1. Now that I’m working again, I have grown to dread Mondays. Mondays I wake up to a messy house, clothes everywhere, dishes everywhere, just a mess that is the result of mom being gone all weekend long. It takes all week to recover and then it happens all over again. Am I the only one that feels like it takes me all week long to recover from the weekend? I don’t think I’ve felt like that since college lol.

2. Taryn has learned the art of schmoozing. Exhibit A:

T: Mommy, you are so pretty.
Me: Awww, than–
T: Can I have some milk?

or

After handing her some applesauce out of the fridge….
T: Mommy, you are a genius!!
Me: […]
