I got a new camera.
Sh*t. Just. Got. REAL.
I was just cooking dinner – nothing weird about that – when Shelton walks in and says, “Turn off the stove.”
But why, I thought? Then faster, Sarah don’t ask questions.
And then three beautiful words fell out of Shelton’s mouth… “Close your eyes.”
So, I did.
When I opened them this is what I saw: a brand new, completely legit, Nikon D5100.
{ Happy early birthday to me. }
I have a real camera, ladies and gentlemen.
And I just had to share with you, because it’s about to get real photography-happy up in here!
Obviously, I have no idea how to use this thing, but I assume it’ll make me coffee in the morning?
Do you have any guidance for me? Tips? Anything?
Please share your knowledge with me!
Your shutterbug,


My name is Sarah and I love to post about food, inspiration, creativity, and whatever else tickles my fancy. New visitor?
