Like most moms, if not all, I'm obsessed with my little one. She's the cutest baby in my eyes. The difficult pregnancy, months of avoiding sweets because I was borderline diabetic then, the 20-hour labor, and the C-section incision pain - all worth it! My phone and my iPad are full of pictures and videos of JK, and, yes, I'm a stay-at-home mom so that's expected. But, of course, pictures from phone cameras aren't good enough for preserving precious moments, so she had her first photoshoot with a pro photographer when she was 1 month old. That's actually one thing I regret, we should have done the photo shoot earlier, when she was 2 weeks old. I really admire those creative newborn pictures I see online. Anyway, it's my baby so the pictures are still perfect. Here are some of the pictures:
And that photo shoot was followed by 12 more studio shoots, to date, 1 for every month until JK turned one which was on October 30 of last year. We had her monthly pictures taken at Pic-A-Boo Photo Studio, SM North Edsa. They have a lot of beautiful costumes to choose from, but since we were there every month, there were times when we ran out of costumes that were her size that we really like, so we sometimes had to settle for a less fabulous one. That's when my crafty side was awaken again, I decided that I would just make costumes for my princess. Here are some of her pictures wearing the costumes I made for her:
So it has begun, I turned to crocheting costumes for JK, then hats, headbands, etc. And now, I couldn't stop, whenever I have free time, usually when the little rascal is asleep, I would crochet, but now mostly jewelries, do some paper arts, beading, etc. It's a really good thing that people share tutorials online, they will guide you in the right direction, whatever it is that you want to create.
Well, I have always been crafty, I used to make my own jewelry boxes, desktop organizers, Christmas ornaments, etc. when I was still at school. Anyway, since my love for crafts started again because of my baby, it is only fitting that this is my first post for this blog, which I intend to make at least 75% about crafts, mostly crocheted jewelries, which is my current obsession. (If I can stop myself from posting everything about my princess.)
I'll try to write about the costumes I made for JK if I could still find the links where I got the patterns or tutorials from. So, until my next post. Ta ta for now...
Ang cute ng baby mo in a cheerleader outfit! Nice photographs too. Buti andali niyang mag-smile.
ReplyDeleteAng ingay namin sa shoot, pinapatawa sya ng pinapatawa, haha. Thank you.
DeleteAng cute nung Princess Leia! I'm no geek pero I sure can appreciate that cute baby's photo! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that on her, too, haha. Thank you!
DeleteLove the photos! She's a star in the making!
ReplyDeleteButi masaya syang pinipicturan, haha. Thank you.
DeleteAng galing mo talaga, mommy! :) I'm such a big fan! Hehehe :)
ReplyDeleteSooo cute!! But I'm surprised you did it every month! How much for the photos if you don't mind me asking? :)
ReplyDeleteYes, gusto ko kasi may monthly pictures sya na maayos, di kasi ako magaling sa photography, until nag 1 year lang naman sya. Every session, inaabot kami ng mga 1.8k - 2k. Pero may malaki na yun, usually 8r o 10r pinipili namin, tapos madaming mga tig 4r, minsan kasi sobrang daming magandang shots na ang hirap mamili, kukunin na lang pare pareho, haha.
DeleteOMG you are so talented Mommy kRod! I love the hair dresses especially the goldilocks hair! hehe. You can make it as a business, ako first customer mo =)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Haha, sana nga naipagpatuloy ko, sobrang kaaliw gawan ang baby.
DeleteBaby is lucky to have a mom crafter. Love the mermaid costume! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHow adorable! One of the things I regret talaga is not having a photoshoot for my son when he was little. That's why bumabawi nalang ako through documenting his daily life haha
ReplyDeleteThank you. Naku puro kakulitan na pag malaki na no, haha, yun yung nakacapture na ng camera.
DeleteHow amazing are all those costumes you made! It's great that she's fine with wearing them, some babies pull off hats or are resistant to changing clothes.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The photo shoot allows 3 costumes and sometimes she actually gets cranky after 3 changes, tries to pull off her hat or headband, we just try our best to make her smile.
Deletehow cute! I want to go back to making crochet projects too!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWow!! Galing!! She's too lucky having a Mommy crafter, and may I suggest you make this one as a business na. Online business, and create a blog exclusive for this. Second customer mo ko sis... hehehe You know I have my kikay toddler hheeheh
ReplyDeleteThank you, haha. That's actually a nice idea.
DeleteHooray for crafty moms! And yes, pareho tayo, I also regret not arranging a shoot for my little one for his first few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI have considered crocheting before but never had the time. My daughter may be a bit too old for those really cute costumes (love the cheerleader theme) but maybe for the next one? Haha. I haven't done crochet projects since high school!
ReplyDeleteThere are still a lot of costumes I want to make, haha. I find babies wearing costumes really adorable.
