The picture above is from a recent session that I really enjoyed. (Okay, I enjoy all of them!) I picked this picture out to share with you because it's one of those pictures that is a little deceiving. Yes, the sweet little girl in the picture is as content as she seems. But, did you know that I was balancing on the rim of the bathtub while taking this picture and praying that I didn't fall in the tub? (If you did, please be sure to tell me!) Another reason why I had to share this picture is because it's one of my favorites from the session. This little girl really touched my heart. Just look at those eyes! Don't they just melt you?

Looking for a new camera?

If you're in the market for a new camera, this one is worth your consideration. Panasonic just annouced the release of the DMC-FZ7. I recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a lightweight, high quality, compact camera. Priced under $400 this camera is an over-acheiver. It's packed with features including image stabilizer technology, a 12x optical zoom LEICA (yes, I said LEICA!) lens, an easy mode, advanced mode, pop up flash, a 2.5" LCD display in the back... You stopped reading when I wrote Leica, didn't you? I know, when I heard about this camera I almost fell off of my chair too!

Check back soon, I'll be posting pictures taken with the FZ7 soon!

Simon at dpreview wrote a great review of the FZ7. Although he didn't give it the "highly reccommended" seal of approval, I do. Simon wasn't thrilled with the amount of digital noise this camera produces. I'm not disputing the fact that there is digital noise at iso 100 and higher. When you consider the features of the camera and the price point it's a phenomenal deal. The noise won't be an issue unless you're planning on making enlargements or shooting in low light with no flash. (Hey, isn't that what you hire a professional for?)

Happy shopping! Just a disclaimer, I do not own Panasonic stock. But, if I have convinced you to buy a FZ7 be sure to send me some of your pictures, I can't wait to see them!
