So yesterday on a whim I sold three of my prime lenses on facebook. Right after I listed and sold my 45mm TS-E lens I went onto my favorite camera store, B&H, and bought the 70-200mm 2.8 IS with overnight shipping for my new venture into kids photography. Let me just say that this split second decision was a great one! Almost this entire session was shot with it and I LOVE IT! I came away from this session renewed and excited about photographing kids! Here are my favorites…
February 18, 2010 - 11:24 pm - There are not any pictures. guessing you know that though!!
February 18, 2010 - 11:26 pm - Great job! You are going to have continued success chasing the kids around.... so proud of you for following your heart- xo
February 18, 2010 - 11:29 pm - There they are!! Beautiful!!
February 18, 2010 - 11:29 pm - You picked two awesome kiddos to get started with!! I know Cayce through Greta Todd Conger, and I've heard such hilarious things about Maryn. I'm sure she was a great model for you today! And little Barrett with his beautiful eyes! Great job Lauren! You are going to be a great children's photographer. In a couple of years I'll hire you to photograph mine (when I finally have some!).
February 18, 2010 - 11:32 pm - #1 AND 2 LOVE LOVE THEM!!!
February 18, 2010 - 11:45 pm - Wow...these kids belong to a dear friend of mine. You captured Maryn beautifully and Barret is growing so fast. Maryn always makes me laugh. Great shots Lauren!! You are going to be great at this new venture!!
February 19, 2010 - 12:31 am - LOVE the baby in the basket!! i'm such a fan of that. :)

February 19, 2010 - 12:52 am - Lauren! Great job! Way to make it happen. I love that one of her walking across the little dirt path...wohoo!
February 19, 2010 - 5:50 am - These are fantastic, Lauren! You obviously have a way with kids. I cannot wait to see where this new ventur takes you. I am so excited for you.
February 19, 2010 - 8:05 am - Lauren, I read your post about deciding to leave the wedding business and I must say that I admire you, your post ministered to me so much and made me start reevaluating my business and my life. The Holy Spirit truly anointed your post and spoke through you. Thank you! Stephanie Davis p.s. the kid shoot is awesome! great job!
February 19, 2010 - 8:17 am - Lauren!!! These are absolutely beautiful! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am biased, but those kids sure are adorable and you did a fabulous job capturing them!!!
February 19, 2010 - 8:28 am - well it looks like you've been working with kids all along...these are darling! I love the b&w of the little guy. Did you use the 70-200?
February 19, 2010 - 9:09 am - Lauren, I believe with Cayce, my darling daughter! The photos are beautiful! Great G-ma Joyce can see their personalities shining thru! I think you captured the essence of my beautiful grandbabies! Thank you, Caryn

February 19, 2010 - 12:39 pm - awesome...what is the reasoning for that lens? Is it so you can be farther back and zoom in? I'm trying to decide if that is the lens I need
February 19, 2010 - 4:23 pm - I love photographing children! They're my favorite! I'm saving up for the 70-200 is.
February 19, 2010 - 5:19 pm - I love the ones with Maryn and her books! Lauren, you are great! And Maryn is an awesome model!!! Wow! And the colors are fantastic!
February 20, 2010 - 12:42 am - Kids are definitely fun/interesting to work with! You're doing great!!!
February 20, 2010 - 8:30 pm - Lauren you are going to be a FABULOUS childrens photographer. I can already see it! You so talented already!
February 21, 2010 - 9:12 pm - you are a natural with children!! keep it up! can't wait to see more!
February 22, 2010 - 8:15 pm - Hi Lauren, The Canon 70-200f2.8 IS is a great tool and wise choice for what you will be doing now. I've had one(two really)for years now and use it almost exclusively for people and events photography. Of course would'nt trade my 300 and 500 2.8 IS's nor 200 macro due to my inclinations for sports and wildlife photography. Let us know if you are ever down Andrews way. Regards, Uncle Dave
