Those are some pretty amazing pictures. We have a half decent point and shoot but most of our pictures of her are ipad/blackberry snaps :S

@prettylizy: I had a cheapy P&S too. I made DH buy me a DSLR for Mother's Day. Best. investment. ever.

omg amazing!!!! the aperture on that thing is professional quality. I have serious lens envy. Which lens it is? I have a nikon so it'd be a different lens I'd need - but just in case I ever get a canon.
btw C is sooooooo cute. I love her little teeth.

She is gorgeous!!! @zippylef: did you buy a filter too? I'm so trying with my rebel t3i and fifty nifty lens but something is just not right. Your photos look amazing though!

@Mrs. Pen: It's a 50mm f/1.8. I assume this is the comparable one for Nikon. I paid about the same for mine. http://www.adorama.com/NK5018AFDU.html?utm_term=Other&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=Other&utm_source=rflAID021866
I did stupid amounts of research and everything said this was the best one for the money. I take mostly portrait shots since we do boutique modeling and this is wonderful for that. The only tricky thing is that it's a fixed lens. Getting used to no zoom took a minute.

@Baby Boy Mom: I found this lady's blog extremely helpful. http://www.kevinandamanda.com/whatsnew/tutorials/photography-tutorial-a-quick-guide-to-understanding-your-digital-slr-camera.html She has a bunch of tutorials, not just that one.

@zippylef: yup that's the one on my wishlist! Thanks for the adorama link, the one on amazon is $200. maybe since it's $25 cheaper I can convince DH I need it even more now

@zippylef: Thanks! I will definitely look at those! I've gotten pretty good using AV mode with the kit lens but having more trouble with the 50 because our house is really small so I need to be in a different room to be far enough away to get more that just a face.

@zippylef: yep, but the lens itself is in auto...I wish I had photography lessons but there's no one nearby on Craigslist...

@zippylef: omg these pictures are so precious!! Your daughter is amazingly cute.....I showed DH the pics and told him about the lens - he just about bought it already online! Ha. We need to practice with our Rebel before LO gets here.

So beyond adorable. Getting a new lens for DH's Canon EOS has been on my list for ages. Those things are so freaking expensive though, so I still haven't gotten him one.

@skibobrown: i only paid $110 for this one!
@Rainbow Sprinkles: You think so? Everyone is always telling me how much she looks like DH.

She is ca-uuuute!! I've been using my Tamron 2.8 mostly, but these pics have inspired me to bust out the 50mm 1.8 again!
