D'aw, she's so pretty. I want to snuggle her. <3 How do you get your photos so crisp? And the lighting is just always so gorgeous. Ann... Nikon camera... now I know. Need to find me one of those, haha. My Sony one is... not very good.

usually I only take my photos in morning light coming through that window if it's around the house. Window light is incredible! And if you hang a thin white sheet you get even prettier lighting but I rarely do lol. In this photo it was morning but also cloudy, this diffuses the light and makes it less contrasty and smooths out the edges of shadows like a thin sheet would do(Same concept as a soft box in a photo studio).

Also the first few hours and last few hours are generally the best lighting to use if you're using natural light. This light is better because the suns rays are forced to go through more of the earths atmosphere which naturally diffuses the light and makes it softer. During the middle of the day the sun is too harsh and the shadows sharp edged and contrasty which usually isn't pleasing to the eyes.

Nikon and canon are both good brands for their DSLR cameras. The downside for them is when you get into the smaller point and shoots they try to make them skinny which forces the cameras sensor to be smaller. Then on top of that they give them a ton of mega pixels and mush them into the little sensor making the quality worse. My friend had a sony that only cost like $120 that takes pretty good photos, and I like some Panasonic Lumix cameras :)
