eleven~twelve~thirteen.....



i've scheduled this post to go "live" at 9:10 this morning. if you're a goon like me and miss the morning version of this pretty much totally cool day, you can do yours tonight at 9:10pm. 
are you with me? have i lost you? are you getting it? 
9.10.11.12.13...see, cool right?


for those of you on FB with me, you already know that i have a new baby. for those of you who didn't see my little "birth announcement" it's all about her...and yes, i was able to get my hands on one of the "2000" silver limited edition versions. call me extremely lucky.

let me tell you, she is simply gorgeous and i feel horrible that i've hardly gotten her out to play. our weather turned cold and icky the night she arrived, so i've kept her mostly inside where i know she'll be warm and comfy...but she did help me with all of the shots on this post.





i don't use the filters on my camera {like ever} but being stuck inside last night as our temperatures dropped to seventeen {yikes} i sat on our couch, reading my new camera manual and used the black and white filter to irritate photograph my hubby. snort.

oh, and overhead recessed lighting...ummm, not so great :(

but good lord he's a handsome man...and look at his beard. he's got the whole "no shave november" thing going on and i love it. granted, it's a bit scratchy, but ohhhh...it's a sexy thang!!

  3. It's a good thing you saved the biggest distraction until last! Both the camera and the husband look like keepers.

  4. I was listening to a reflection this morning about the whole 11-12-13 fascination, people who were excited "because another day like this will never come again"... which caused the commentator to observe that the same could be said about EVERY DAY. What would happen if we treated every day we're given as the precise, never to be repeated gift that it is? Worth thinking about, no?

  6. Congrats on the new baby! Just think of rainy, cold days as challenges to test your photographic skills. I'd say you passed! Have fun. :)

  9. Not all men can pull off the bearded look successfully, but your hubby does one hell of a job! :-)

  10. Sort of jealous of the new baby, but must say she does a gorgeous job.
    But really isn't it you that is the artist? She is just a tool.
