Something about celebrating our first Christmas as a married couple really made me want to send out Christmas Cards. Personally, I love sending and receiving mail. Combine that with the fact that I looooove my wedding photos (its sorta becoming a vanity problem)- it made sense to send photo cards 🙂
Aren’t our wedding photos stellar? By the one and only: Arielle Doneson Photography.
Also, take note- it was on our first Christmas tree together as well 🙂
Alright, alright, I know- I’m super late on this, but I’ve upgraded to a smart phone. See the thing is that I’m not opposed to technology or being connected, on the contrary- I have a job in IT and lurrv social media.
To be honest, I’m sorta cheap. But the hubs and I realized it was time to make the leap and upgrade. I’ve also been wanting to instagram and have a decent, easy, and accessible camera at the ready. While I’ll never argue that iPhone cameras are appropriate to capture all of life’s moments, I have found myself annoyed when I spotted this great sunset or funny sign without my DSLR to capture it.
A few of my favorite apps?
Instagram (duh!), Duolingo, Words with Friends (I know, still behind), Photoshop Express, & Alt Photo
Feel free to follow me on instagram 🙂 and check out a few of my fave iPhone pics:
Yes, photographers do enjoy taking photos of their cameras!
I’ve made it pretty obvious that shooting film is pretty important to me as an artist, photographer, and person… Well when I dropped my film camera (a Rebel) on the ground and had to revert to using rubberbands to keep it held together for months, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I’ve only had the chance to take this lovely out for a spin a few times, but I am super excited for what it will offer me as a photographer.
For those of you that are interested my search process went a bit like this:
1. Compatible with my Canon lenses (with autofocus- My eyesight needs it!)
2. 35 mm (not ready for the medium format leap yet…)
3. In my budget…
4. Flash compatibility
And voila I wound up with the EOS 3. Obviously, it was a slightly longer process than this, but you get the general idea…
Here’s a few pretties I’ve gotten from this camera 🙂
A few shots from my mini session with Riley (who’s basically my niece). Don’t let her adorable eyes fool you! She’s quite the rascal and has an irrational fear of pillows.
