Picture Perfect

In a few days I will have a new "hobby" of sorts. I finally broke down and bought a new camera. I wanted to get one at Christmas, but Joseph and I decided to wait until we had a better reason to get one. (aka kids) But sometimes decisions can be changed! I guess I got the jolt to finally buy it after being surrounded by 15+ cameras this past Sunday. My friend, Ursula Page, (http://www.ursulapagephotography.com/) who took some photographs of us with our three dogs this past October contacted me and asked if me and Joseph would be willing to be the models for a get-together of local photographers. We were the bride and groom couple, so it was fun having a reason to put my dress back on and get dressed up. Joseph wasn't as thrilled, but he loves me and thankfully would do just about anything for me (and he did!). Hopefully I will have some pictures soon to show from the shoot.

Anyways, back to the camera. I am super excited about it. I have always hated taking pictures with my point and shoot digital camera, because let's face it, they just don't take the kind of photos that I like to see. So I purchased this:

Nikon D90 Camera

I have been eyeing this camera for months now. I also purchased this while I was at it:

Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF lens

There are some more lenses that I want, but those will have to wait, since they are a bit more expensive. But I figured that this lens would get me started and I can get some practice in before I go all out lens-crazy!!

So now that I will have a new toy, maybe it will motivate me to blog a little bit more often, since I will have some beautiful photos to share!! Happy shooting!
