Princess Shelby/Rapunzel/Cinderella/Tiana/Belle

Shelby's third birthday party was on Saturday, September 15, 2012.  It was filled with great food, fun friends, and multiple scheduled wardrobe changes.  I had just bought a new lens on the way to her party (this baby) with birthday gift cards and was super excited to try it out.  I still need practice with it's power because it's different than the one I am used to.  It was perfect to try it out during a birthday party because there is so much to shoot.  There were homemade regular and chocolate marshmallows made by Aunt Becky's best friend and let me tell you, they were so delicious.





Outfit 1





Here's where I have trouble with it's power.  I'm not used to such a small depth of field, although I love it.  Pretzel: totally in focus.  Shelby's face: not so much.  I bought it for this ability and it's speed, I just didn't realize the huge difference until this picture.  Soon after, I got the hang of it a little better.  :)







Outfit 2




Shelby's toenail skills.
Aunt Sissy HANDMADE this!  I know, I know.  It's awesome.  Needless to say, this is outfit 3.






Her very own cake pop.
Correction: Her and Mitchell's very own cake pop.

Great Pics. I have been wanting that lens for a while. I think I might splurge before the baby gets here!

You should, Jamie! It's awesome! I just have to get used to not zooming in and out at all. I actually have to use my body. Go figure!

What a diva! :) Great pics, Chels. And thanks, KK. I almost told Chelsea to photoshop my skin, but your comment made me feel better. ;)
