Sweet Sophie

It's been a while since I've blogged and quite frankly it's been a while since I've felt like taking pictures. The crazy busy life of a mom of two had really put my photography dreams on hold. A few weeks ago I decided I needed to get back into because I really missed it. My first step was getting a new camera and a new portrait lens. I had been wanting a new camera for about 3 years so I was ecstatic when I splurged and got my dream camera. I got  Canon 5D Mark II and a 50mm f/1.2 lens. Love love love. So the past couple of weeks I have been harassing my friends to let me practice on their cute kids. So I started out with little Sophie here. She's 8 months and totally adorable.

She was a great little model and she helped me figure out my lighting setup in my living room. I still have lots of things to learn but I love the look of natural light and if given the choice I would use it over artificial lighting anytime.

Love her little face.

Such a sweetheart.

I've had a couple more session since then and hope to blog them soon. I've had two squishy newborns the past two days and I can't wait to share their cuteness!
