Can you tell all the shots I post where the flash was used are all from the same session? Yeah, that’s how lazy I am about getting out the flash. Now, it doesn’t mean that I don’t like to use it. I’m still amazed at how much light I can get from a flash bouncing off the ceiling with very low ambient light. I’m able to use a low ISO and a smaller aperture for greater depth of field, and still get a sharp picture. I really should pop on my flash more often. For those of you wondering, I have an SB-600 and SB-800 but yet to use the latter. At least I took it out of the box!

It’s kissy love today at SS. Sophie’s blessed to have grandparents who love her so much!
