One Month Milestone Photos: Isabella

Here is a photo I took of my darling Isabella. The #1 was made out of flowers, this was very easy to make! I hand wrote and cut out the #1 on cardstock. I then punched out holes about 1 inch apart. I cut the the stem of the flowers about a quarter of an inch below the flower. I inserted the cut flowers onto the punched holes on the #1 alternating colors. The material is coral to match some of the flowers on her dress. She also has a coral floral headband, but I felt it blended too much with the material.  I opened the picture on Picmonkey.com and added the milestones. I played with the different fonts until I got a good variety. 

Tip: Notice the empty space to the left? I left room for cropping. I have printed this picture through Costco.com and it generally requires me to crop. That space was left there so that I do not have to crop out any of elements of the photo.

What was used:

1 yard of Satin Material in coral

1 headband ($1) purchased at a outdoor market(new) 

Dress was purchased at Baby Gap

Flowers purchased at Costco ($10) with plenty left

Picmonkey.com

Canon Rebel DSLR Camera

New Hobby: Photograpy - The Subject: Isabella

Not much to write about in regards to photography as there is a lot of content out there. I am an amateur photographer with no formal training. Just read stuff online and trial and error. I am using a Canon Rebel Camera and a 50 mm lens.  I used Picmonkey.com for editing. I did purchase a yearly subscription for Picmonkey.com for $40.00. The mermaid outfit was purchased on Amazon. The background is a sheet of paper, purchased at Blick Art Supplies. I used a khaki comforter and added pink tool on top to simulate sand. The beautiful subject? My new baby, Isabella at three weeks old.
