a love affair

 This past week we bought a digital slr camera and a new imac, THANK YOU TAX REBATE!!  My laptop is 6 years old and getting close to retirement, and our crappy point and shoot nikon coolpix just wasn't cutting it, so we figured it was time for an upgrade! We bought a Canon T1i w/a 28mm lens. These shots are all f1/8 except the ones outside which are f2.5. The shutter speed was adjusted separately for all accordingly so I'm not sure what it was without looking.We're definitely still trying to nail focus with such a short depth of field, but here are some first pics for your enjoyment. I couldn't help myself and did a little bit of editing in photoshop ...just to, you know, boost the color :) I LOVE my new camera!!!

Photo Shoot!

Our friends Heather & Travis took some great pics of the boys, and I thought I would share! Cohen was pretty grumpy the whole time and both were tired, but overall I think it went pretty well, and we got some really cute pics. Heather & Travis were so patient and nice! The cute hats are from my friends etsy shop bebecouture , where the boys are now featured as models for her new line of hats! Camden is in the green, Cohen in the blue.

More Botanical Fun!

We really love the Chicago Botanic Gardens...which is why we went there again! Also because we didn't see everything the first time we went...and because it's FREE!
