we were SO excited that we got all the ice and snow. i mean, we got to cancel jack's first birthday party, and then charlie's best friend's birthday party got cancelled, and no one got out of work... major bummers. we needed to lift our spirits today so we piled on the layers and headed outside. luckily the size 3-6 month baby gap bear suit that was originally charlie's fits jackers. hey, too-small-faux-suede is basically waterproof right? 

on to the pictures. i decided it would be a good time to test out the new tilt-shift lens (lensbaby) i got a little while ago (along with a holga and some other film stuff- more on that later). it's a little tricky at first with all the manual focusin' and tiltin' and shiftin'. super fun though, i highly recommend it as a little fun thing to add to your bag of tricks. here's what we look like all tilt-shifted:

kind of a throwback collage of sorts. anyway. when i was going through these, they kind of reminded me of vintage polaroids so i decided to polaroid-ize them via my favorite iphone app.

 cool huh? check out the shakeitphoto app to polaroidize your life. you actually have to shake your phone like an old-school polaroid. so great. 

happy snow days to you!
