MOMS Club

Today Jordin and I went to a playgroup/potluck with the great ladies and kids of a new group we have joined, MOMS Club.

I offered to take some shot of the kids while they ran around, played with “new” toys, and had sword fights with spatulas

I have a strong feeling if this playgroup took place at my house everything would have been destroyed. At least when I just have my 3, bookes are torn, couches ripped, milk spilled (or “sprinkled” on the carpet – thanks to Mikey), and the wals look like ancient cave paintings.

But E’s house and walls remained intact and unmarked…at least by the time we left.

Slideshow of the kids…

never good enough

So I have my 5D, and my insanely expensive 24L 1.4, and now I am awaiting my 85L 1.4

I have a family reunion to shoot for a friend this weekend, no pressure because I am invited too, and I am so excited to test these babys out! Since the kids have grown tired of me constantly with the camera in their face. Not only do they refuse to pose, smile, or even stand still. But Jordin is now the photog. She has HER “camer” Yes, CAMER, no “A”, just camer. And she’s gotta have hers if I’ve got mine. She’s a mess. She has upgraded from her princess fake camera to a REAL Olympus camera! Spoiled! She’s got the aiming down to find her subject. She’s got the pressing the button to shoot. But, like her Mommy she can’t do two things at once. So we have accumulated lots of floor and toe shots.

I am now in the market for some 580′s and a couple radio poppers. and I am set for a little bit.

Then I want to get some strobes

If I get a chance to this week I may take the kids out and play a little with the 24L. Maybe I can do a little guerrilla shooting and they will never know that there mommy is behind the tomato plants snapping away with her new camer.
