I realized that my last album dedicated for my son's growth was when he was still 17 months old. Making a promise to myself that will be keeping progress of him every now and then because... he just grows up so fast!!! I need to keep track.

The Ring

Day 2: The Ring💍

🎤🎼Coz if you like me then you should've put a ring on it... and it's been 1 year, 6 months, and 5 days since then. Today, January 4 marks our 106th month of being together. Thank you for tolerating my mood swings and keeping ug with my insanity, hubby. To more months and years together.
♥ without wax.

Oh i stay up til you're next to me

Til this house feels like it did before

Feels like insomnia ah ah

I used Paint Tool Sai this time. Just experimenting my way around the software.

Our first entry.

My mom is a Managing Director (MD) of Personal Collection Direct Selling, Inc..  They have a branch in Toledo City, Cebu and most of the time, Zaien, my son, tags along with her whenever she goes to the office. The PC staff have become fond of Zaien, praising him for his witty and smart responses. A blabbermouth, they would say. He would interview people who would sit down at my mom's table.

White Dove is one of the products of Personal Collection for babies. It has a everything a baby needs from bath soap, shampoo, lotion, baby oil, and cologne. My baby (we still call him baby even though he's already six) uses all the products, not because my mom is an MD, but because his skin doesn't get allergies from it. Before, we used other brands and because his skin is super sensitive, there are times that he develops rashes. Anyways, this is not a review article so let's proceed with the photo session.

As I was saying, the PC staff adored Zaien. When they held a contest for a White Dove Baby, they urged my mom to have Zaien enter the contest and my mom, as a proud grandma, willingly obliged. We were asked to submit two (2) entry photos. But we took many photos anyway.

Missing his front tooth.

Our second entry.

We don't have much behind the scenes photos... but how did we do it? 

Behind the scenes.

We put Zaien on a long table and surrounded him with different White Dove products. A white board was placed behind him and hung the white colored series light carefully on it. This is how it looks like in a normal view.

See the wires?

It was really hard capturing "perfect" photos mostly because the subject (Zaien) was antsy and very impatient. We really have to be very creative to make him stay put and smile for the camera.

And now for the Before and After photos.

The wings were missing some feathers so I asked the help of my dear friend, Adobe Photoshop.

So that's all it!

Many people come to me asking me if I could be their photographer and at often time I would always say no. Because I have no confidence in my skills yet and because I only own a humble Canon 1100D with 50mm lens. So, this article isn't about my photography style. It's about my post-processing style. After attending a photo-editing class last July 2014, my confidence rose a little bit higher.

Stiff neck? lol

TEAL!! She's my current favorite color.

No progress shots. This is just another warm up sketch.

Still having a hard time drawing hands. T_T
