Ava is officially ONE! This year went by so quick… it seems like just yesterday I was taking Ava’s newborn photos!
Sunday was the big bash and I was sooo excited because Orousha always has the best parties with help from Sam her fabulous coordinator. I always wonder how Orousha will top the last party but she always comes through. I am secretly hoping her next baby is a boy just to see what she does at his first birthday.
ASHLEY! Oh goodness are your photos beautiful. You just have some secret that makes everything you do a knotch more LOVELY than ANYTHING. Colors are amazing, skin is like pudding, do you only have cute friends with the cutest babes? I think it’s you. Amazing. I see you take the time for tutorials… so MAYBE you’d have time for a question?
a. What lens are you using on these up-close foodie shots? Dum Dums and pretsels? I always thought the 85mm would be the trick, but I got it (only the 1.8) and the min. focal length is so far away I can’t get shots that close. Are they cropped?
b. And what’s your fave lens? Do you use the 50mm 1.2? I’ve had that on my wish-list, saved enough money for it. But now I’m having second thoughts. Is it worth the extra $1200 (compared to the 50 1.4). WHAT DO YOU THINK??? Thank you for your tutorials and your actions and all of your beautiful images for inspiration.September 30, 2009 – 2:07 pm
