I love this lens! I shoot a lot at 24mm on my Tamron 17-50mm. You get a lot in the shot with out too much distortion.

Looks like you guys had a fun weekend! :)

Gosh, these photos make me feel overhwlemingly exhausted and hot/sweaty yet I've just had 12 hrs sleep and it's on the brink of snowing outside – see, the power of good photography. ;)

I love the minimalistic editing. There are some beautiful editing techniques out there, but the more I examine my photography and decide what I want to push my 'style' to be like, the more I want it to be classic, timeless, and really representative of what the moments were like. Much like how these are.

i like to keep things simple…i can try to do fancy edits, but i just don't see the moments that way, so the effect editing does not go with my work.

Looks like a fun family weekend. In the stroller picture, are the twins asleep? I also love the picture of the family all laying on the floor together. Such a sweet pic.

I love the BOOBIE! and the THE ONE SHE CALLS HERSELF DEBBIE videos! They were really funny, I love Gemma´s australian accent, when she said :" It´s hot " I think Clover think " So you are telling me to stay away from the stove, well I´m going to prove you I´m not going to obey " love the " You´re mommy " phrase !!!!!!!!!!!!!! really cute !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh , Could you upload more videos about Gemma please?

I love shooting at 24mm but i can only open up to 2.8- a prime lens at 1.8 must be a treat in low light :)
