Why thank you! When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter we bought our first DSLR. I used a Canon EOS Rebel with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens and loved it! It's a fantastic combo for beginner photographers. In 2013 I upgraded to the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and then in 2015 I added a 2nd camera to my collection to take better video (the EOS 70D which I have since upgraded to the Canon EOS 80D). Finally in 2016 I upgraded my Mark ii to the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV which is like my 3rd child. I love it for pictures and video and she is almost always with me. As for lenses. I have too many. Lately, I most often use my 40mm pancake lens. For dreamy portraits or stunning macros I use my Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Lens. My favorite all around lenses right now are my Canon EF 17-40mm for travel, Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 for low light and Canon EF 24-70mm 2.8/L for that and everything in between.
