upgrading

So excited that my new camera came this week! Tried it out a bit today at the pool, I am learning the ins & outs of it slowly. Here's the one I decided on:

Canon Rebel XT EOS & EFS 18-55mm lens

I bought this camera about 9 months ago, but really wanted/needed a DSLR. I definitely still recommend this one, it's been a great camera:

Nikon Coolpix L810

A big THANK YOU to some of my fabulous friends, who are AMAZING photographers, {but let's be real, they should both be models}, that helped me make sure I knew what I was getting myself into! Both of these NC girls have transplanted themselves across the country, so if you're in their area, contact them for some shoots!
