Sneak Preview: Family Portraits with The Johnsons!

We had a lovely family portrait session yesterday with our friends Mary, Derrick, and nearly 1 year old, Rylan.  It was a lot of fun following Rylan around as she explored the backyard, played in the sun, and modeled not one, but two fabulous tutus!  :-)  

Take a look at the sneak preview of the session... Enjoy!

Thanks again to the Johnsons for such a fun shoot!

Family Beach Session at Old Silver Beach

Last night we had a fantastic family portrait session at Old Silver Beach on Cape Cod. The family was beautiful and the children were full of energy. It made for a wonderful experience. Hope you enjoy this sneak preview of the shoot!

New Lens

Last weekend I took a trip with my husband up to Calumet Photographic in Boston to buy some flash accessories. While we were there, I decided to buy Canon's 50mm 1.8 lens. It is a really fun, lightweight lens -- very different than the lenses I already owned. I had previously read some reviews on this lens and photographers seem to be very happy about it. Now that I have shot with it for about a week, I can definitely see why everyone is so impressed.

This lens is all plastic, so its not the most durable, but I don't know too many photographers who aren't careful with their gear. Also, the auto focus is slow and loud, but for anyone who's willing to manually focus, the results are tack sharp. This is my first fixed focal length lens, and I've had a lot of fun playing around with it. Here are some of the shots I got with it this week:

"Cappuccino" -- this well foamed beverage was served to my husband at

Wicked Fire Kissed Pizza (one of our favorite restaurants in Cape Cod).

"Children Playing"

"Sake" -- a set of these mugs was a wedding gift from a friend

"Admiral" -- a page from one of my grandmother's old House Beautiful magazines...

I would recommend this lens to anyone who's been thinking about picking it up. Its fairly inexpensive (less than $100), and it offers high quality results.
