Next Purchase(s)??

[3Guys1Mom]

Okay ... what is your opinion.
I currently shoot with a Canon 60d 18-135mm & a 75-300mm...

I am hitting the ground running. I want to take beautiful portraits of my children.

What should be the next this I save my pennies for? Biggest bang for my buck!

Here is a short list of what I think *want*
*1) 430ex ii or a 580ex ii speedlite...??
*2) Backdrop stands and paper or Muslin ??
*3) Strobe Soft box or Umbrella ??
*4) Lens??? I was thinking a Canon 50mm f/1.8... Do you know another??

Is there something I'm not thinking about yet that I should focus on??

Thoughts??

Thank you!!
Julie

Since you dont have fast glass yet Id say pick up a flash. Then Id get the 50 1.8.

I just picked up a 50 mm 1.8 the other day. Havn't been able to take a whole lot of shots with it yet, but i love it so far
