frozen all the way:)

y'allllll!!! i finally have a new camera body!!

you know how all the images on this blog from the past 3 months or so have just looked like crap? (oh you did but you didn't say anything? you're too kind:)) well basically, my camera of 5 years was dyyyyyyiiiing. but i was just waiting to save the last few pennies before i made the jump. then, right before my birthday, i hit the $3.5 mark and pushed the order button for the canon 5Dmarkiii !! 

they say the equipment doesn't make a photographer… and i'd totally agree. but having good equipment sure does make a difference:) now i'm even more excited for all of the coming weddings & portrait sessions!

anyway!! these two sweet girls, maddie & sara, are the daughters of two moms/women who i look up to immensely. i remember when i was maddie & sara's age, there was this awesome girl named becca who was in college and would periodically do sleepovers with me or take me out to do something fun. (she also played a huge early role in me pursuing photography!) those times with her were so great because she was like the older sis i never had and it gave me a break away from oldest girl responsibilities. 

that's stuck with me so well throughout the years so now, along with taking my little sisters out now & then, i want to take time to pour into other girls who may not have a big sis!

one windy evening, the three of us went and saw frozen and then got a sugar rush at menchie's afterwards:) SO much fun!!
