Hello @warrior-princess!
Thank you for your kind words! 🙂 And I think that your photos are beautiful as well. 🙂Yes, IS is pretty important, especially for telephoto lenses. One thing that I just remembered is that I might have used a monopod when taking some of those pictures. It was very helpful since the lens had no IS.
There is a 70-300mm lens with IS, however is a quite a bit pricier. I was able to find one used at a very reputable local camera store.
I think that this is the one, but I am not entirely sure. I haven’t ever bought anything used from B&H, so I am not necessarily recommending to buy this exact one. Just wanted to show you what is out there!
I believe that I have the same lens (18-55). I haven’t played around with it much…and it is a bit scratched, unfortunately. But it is really cool to see the pictures that you take with it!
55mm is very short to try and photograph wildlife! I hope that you find something that fits in your budget.

P.S. I love your dog’s name!
July 7, 2023 at 1:41 pm #80361Anastasia NguyenParticipantOh! Just realized that the lens that I linked to is an older model (and I am almost positive that it is the one I have). There is a newer version, but costs a lot more. This is the newer version: EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM. The name is almost the same, except for the II.

I found a kit with it on Amazon…
Possibly I will be able to get that! 🙂
P.S. Do you have a portfolio? I would love to see more of your photos.
I have one at https://photosbybrieanna.mypixieset.com/
And my stock photography portfolio is https://500px.com/p/1victorianbrie?view=photos
July 9, 2023 at 10:36 pm #80386Anastasia NguyenParticipant@warrior-princess Oh that kit looks cool! Maybe it will work! 🙂
No, I don’t have a portfolio, but I will check out yours! And maybe in the future I will set one up.
