I posted earlier but you may not have seen it.
I love you siggy pic. If you don't mind the questions: What camera do you have and what lenses? Yours are always so bright! Do you have a lot of natural light?
I have a T1i and I use either the 50mm 1.8 or the tamron 28-75 most of the time.
TIA!

Re: re-post ***grinsand giggles**
Sorry, I'm rarely on this board anymore.
I have the Canon 40D and shoot with the 50mm f/1.8 Both those lenses you have are great. For my indoor photos I use a speedlite (bounced) and that's why they're so bright.
The 430ex II is a great one.
Thanks for asking, I posted a follow-up the next morning. She is fine.
the 430 is on my wishlist now! thanks so much
Didn't catch your post on your niece but glad everything is good!
