I turned 30 in February. So far, I really like my 30s. My parents bought me a new camera for my day and it just took me a while to decide and then it took me a while to make the purchase. I consulted with my bff Paige because she knows everything about taking bring-you-to-your-knees photos and we landed on this camera that I still don’t know how to use but I am using it and I feel empowered and giddy and, well, like a total badass with my new friend. Thanks mom and dad.

Love your comment comment…does that make sense? Comments are divine!
Oh, dahling! My Canon rocks my world…can’t WAIT to see what mahvelous photos you take! So funny…Kelly got a new camera today too! What Canon did you get?
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, YOU COOL MONTANA WOMAN!!!
…now off to see bff Paige’s pics!
I love this picture! And you’re right, Paige is an amazing photographer! I’m sure her present will be teaching you all you’ll ever need to know about the camera.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! I just discovered your blog (which is adorable — I love your Love Coop!) and wanted to say “hi” from one Missoulian to another. Also, your Bug (and her blog) is just about the most beautiful human creature I’ve ever seen outside of real life, as it were. I am currently feeling baby fever, though, so I’m probably particularly vulnerable to her charms! 🙂
We got our “nice” camera in January. I still don’t know how to do anything fancy or special with it. Some day I’ll have time to figure it out. Right???
