Mother's Day Bliss!
POSTED BY Amy at 7:32 PM
Can you guess what I got for Mother's Day? I am feeling a little giddy and geeking out quite a bit, but my husband upgraded my camera equipment as a gift to me. It still doesn't seem real that I am now the proud owner of a Canon Rebel T1i with an
EF-S 17-55 mm lens. Yes, it was completely extravagant and not normal for us at all, but to his credit the lens was used by another photographer who happened to be upgrading his equipment.
When I asked him why he would spend that much, he simply said, "I believe in you and your business." He has been pricing, bidding, and researching for months what would be best to buy me, without disclosing any of it to me. He believes that this investment will pay off.
So if things start to shape up in the photography department around here, you will know why! These are my first shots and I haven't read the manual or figured a thing out yet, but I am already pleased as can be with what I am able to do with this upgraded equipment.
Thank you to my husband for believing in me and what I can do!
