If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you may have already seen that I bought a new camera… and I’m SO FREAKING EXCITED ABOUT IT!!! I bought the NikonD5100. I’d been tossing and turning between Nikon and Canon, but honestly it was price that ultimately won out in the end. I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited over a purchase. I got home, tore open the boxes and then rolled around on the floor in excitement, while unbeknownst to me, Kevin got it on video!** LOL
I’m hoping this purchase will give me some new motivation for my photography challenge!
Anyhow, here are some of my photos so far! I’ve played around with other people’s DSLRs a couple of times, but this is my first time playing around for longer than an hour or so. I’m surprised at how easy it was to start using! And it takes great shots in low light! Side note: As previously mentioned, I’m clearly a cat lady (and pets don’t complain when you photograph them!) so don’t judge the number of cat photos I have! Also, if you’re not interested in seeing pet/family photos, stop now. You’ve been warned…
One of the first photos I took: Riley! And she does NOT look impressed lol
Jesse, my mom’s Scottish Terrier
Giles, my parents’ cat
Marty McFly, my sister’s cat


**My mom’s reaction to the video Kevin took of me when I brought my new camera home.
Mom and Dad
My sister, Michelle with Giles
More Riley!!!!



I've been googling around for photography tips, but I'd love to hear yours! Or maybe you have a go-to site?
