i guess winter had to come sometime...

today it rained, rained, rained all day. couldn't resist taking a few pics of owey looking like a little gangster. the cutest gangster on the planet, but nonetheless...






i suppose we shouldn't complain about the rain. at least it's not snow!! besides, it gives us a good excuse to stay in the house and snuggle all day. now where's that apple cider. i think i'll get the fire going...

jessy asked for some hints on taking pictures of babies. here are my top 4:
1. camera, camera, camera. a good camera takes good pictures!
2. it's all about the lighting. i am not a fan of the flash, so a bright window behind you makes any picture look better.
3. get up close and personal. babies are not as cute from far away.
4. use a program like picassa to edit your photos - make them black and white, lighten them up, etc.

have fun! hope that helps!

Jess--Darling photos. I think Owey is the perfect gangsta. And I would HARDLY qualify rain as being winter. Come to NY, baby, and then we'll talk. And thanks for the photography tips. Josh and I are in the market for a new camera. Any suggestions (it needs to be reasonably priced....)
