Normally a leftie, on Easter I caught Will in the act of drawing with his right hand.

toddler fun + photographer fun = everyone happy

Happy Easter! (I meant to post this last night but got sucked into changing things up around the blog again.)
Nic is sort of a scrooge about Easter. Well, only one part of Easter: the dyeing egg part. Apparently, he has been things way since before time itself. He says “I don’t understand the point.”
Ummmm….maybe he should have told me this BEFORE we got married. The point of dyeing Easter eggs is that it is AWESOME. Color is good. Making eggs a color is good.
I knew that Will would understand this. The child who plays for hours with all of my different fabric scraps, the child who adores crayons, would surely get the joy of coloring eggs.
What Nic could get behind, though, was an opportunity to try out some of our new lighting accessories. Based on Scott Kelby’s recommendations, we picked up a few things last week, a justin clamp being one of them. It would have been a teeny bit crazy to stick a light stand up in our small dining area, but this clamped on nicely to our pantry door, providing the perfect spot for an off camera flash:
And so I had two happy boys on Easter evening. One had blue fingers, though.
a new treasure for my photography bag

I sold two of our not-so-used lenses last week to purchase a new lens: the 135 f/2.0. It arrived today and it is the perfect lens for me. I am in love.
I want to talk about lenses (those I love and those I’ve let go) on one of the photography Tuesdays, so I won’t say much more than: if you don’t have it, you need it. 
And share these fun test shots. (I wasn’t the only one who got presents today–Will’s presents from his grandparents’ trip to Disneyland arrived while he was napping, too.)
And one that makes my heart melt. I am very lucky to be the recipient of lots and lots of love and hugs and face smashing.
years from now this photo will be either very funny or quite telling…

Nic was firing off some snapshots after dinner testing out he likes the 135mm focal length (hmmm…I wonder why he would be doing that…[cough--UPS man come soon--cough]) while I was giving Will his usual “Baby Needs Kisses” kisses. When going through the shots I couldn’t believe he caught this one–Will couldn’t have posed it better if he had tried!
I think it sums Will up perfectly–a little boy who loves kisses and is just the tiniest bit fancy.
wanna see what else the man in brown brought?

The UPS man loves me. Along with all the new camera stuff last week he also brought a new laptop. Ahhh–nothing says happy like portable computing solutions. Will seemed very happy to have another box to play with.
Although from the looks of things, he also enjoys surfin’ the net…
