I got my new toy yesterday!! It's a new lens for my camera. It's a 70-200 f/2.8. It is huge and heavy, but I am so excited about it!! This will be a perfect lens for the girls dance recital in a few months and also for sports...especially in low light. SO excited!! So...of course I had to go try it out yesterday with the girls. It happened to be beautiful weather and the girls were actually very agreeable. I think they were just happy to be outside too. Here are my favorites:
These secret pics turned out so cute! They are still not good at both looking at the camera, so I'm trying to come up with things they can do while I still get a cute pic.
This is my favorite of the day. Our azaleas are blooming and are gorgeous.
And here's the bribe that made it all possible :) We walked around the golf course finding new spots to take some pics and then we'd meander back to the water cooler. That's a small price to pay :)
I also tried some shots I've been wanting to try for a long time. What do you think? I like them because it's something totally different from anything I have. It's not exactly what I was going for, but I love the silhouettes! I'm going to make the boys come out there with us and take all 5 of them in silhouette.

Absolutely LOVE the last photo. Precious.
I instantly thought the pictures looked fabulous before even reading about your new lens.
Congratulations on your awesome new toy!
I love that lens- when I pull it out at my boys lacrosse games everyone stares at me! Love the last shots :)
When I was a little girl, my dad would take me on golf dates. We played this weird kind of golf where somehow I always won. But the water cooler was ALWAYS my favorite part (he wouldn't let me drive the cart).
Ok I'm LOVING the silhouette pictures!!! Awesome job!!!
Beautiful pictures of your girls. I LOVE silhouette pictures, in the spring I love to take the kids out to a friend's ranch and take pictures of them walking along the road at sunset!
