Fotografie Fridays: Mama's Babies

When I started this blog, it was mostly cooking, but I also rambled about my life and photography from time to time. I used to do Fotografie Fridays which was just a cheesy spin on Wordless Wednesday since I live in Germany. Haven't done it in a while but thought it'd be fun to start again :)

So last night I told you all that I was going to purchase a new lens today and that I did. My children accompanied me from store to store as I searched for a new 50 mm lens. This time I wanted 50mm f/ 1.4 instead of the 1.8 I had before. This lens is a bit more sturdy for someone like me with curious children and me being very erm..forgetful! I LOVE it! Can not wait to take more photos with it.

I treated my children to lunch at Pizza Hut after a week of long boring errands. I NEVER sit down at any restaurant because my youngest can't sit down anywhere longer than 10 minutes. Today he sat for 15 minutes. That's a bit of progress!

    That's why I love taking so many pictures. I'll be less likely to remember their crazy antics that make being a momma frustrating when I can look back at the cuteness. Your children are adorable and these shots are great! :)

    Love my 1.4-50 mm lens. It's the only lens I use. Originally, I bought it to take photos I'd my then infant son bc it's for low light and uses no flash. But now it's also great for food photography. Enjoy your new lens!

    Hi Sommer,

    Love the pics! Congrats on your new lens. :-)

    I use(d) a point-and-shoot Nikon camera for most of my food fotos. It takes really nice pics of my kids when we're outdoors, but it's lousy for indoor shots. I need to use the flash most of the time. Hubby has the expensive camera, but I am/wasn't allowed to touch it for my food fotos. LOL

    My kids don't usually sit still either at a restaurant, but they surprised us when we ate out at a fish diner last weekend. They loved the fries and were really hungry after having walked around Stade for a while. Needless to say, they behaved so well that we might try again to eat out as a family again very soon. :-)

    BTW, your kids are such cutie patooties!

    Great lens (of course, your kids are just absolutely beautiful)! I've been thinking of getting a better camera myself, but I think for now I will invest in a light box - it's so dark here in Seattle.
