The lemon lens redeems itself with a new one! {Big Bear Photographer, newborn, child, family, wedding}

A few weeks ago my hubby gave me the thumbs up to go ahead and get a new lens. It's a special lens that would be just perfect for weddings, especially those heart filled candid moments. So to save a few Ben Franklins (hundreds) :) I bought one used. Well the camera supply store didn't really know what a quality portrait should consist of I guess and sold me a lens that had been dropped! Gasp. The lens weighs like 40lbs! Okay so maybe not 40 but it weighs a lot and it's as long as Pinnochio's nose...AFTER he lied. It's huge. So sadly I had to return it and wait for the new replacement but one thing I've learned with age is that just because a time seems bad doesn't mean it actually is....there could be something better just ahead. And yeee haw! This lens is the Daddy of lenses. I love it already and of course bribed the kids to let me take their pictures. These are a few of my faves with the new lens and the mini-bribery shoot.
