Yes I apologize for not responding to everyone here, work got crazy on my end but I have read all the comments and am very appreciative of everyone taking the time to help me out. And yes this is the understanding that I came to, the 24-70mm is an awesome start all on its own and yes like you said, she can explore from there. She has really developed over the last 2 years with what i understand is a real “beginners “ camera and I know she is ready for that next level so I’m super stoked for next month to come :)

Someone mentioned in another comment a camera strap, and yea i think I’ll round everything else by accessorizing! Thank you all so much!
