Apples & Dumplings: photography

One of the things I like to keep and collect are photographs of my babies. It's one great way to immortalize their childhood and nice to look back to in the future. While I like to take photos from my iPhone and camera, it's always nice to have our babies' photos taken professionally. It doesn't hurt to put them in cute costumes, sit them in a bath tub or flower pot, and have them flash their cute smiles! One thing I wished I did was to have their photos taken while they're still newborns. Well, good thing for expectant moms who would like to have their newborns photographed, Baby Love Studio does this service!

BABY LOVE STUDIO is an up and coming baby photography studio offering fine art portraiture for newborns, babies, kids and expecting moms. What started out as a mere hobby, BABY LOVE STUDIO has evolved into one of the most sought after photography studios for the little ones due to its unique and elaborate concepts which others may find extremely difficult to execute.

BABY LOVE STUDIO is owned by Mr. Edilbert Corsame who also serves as the studio's lone photographer and artist. Edilbert is actually a chemical engineer and currently works for an upstream petroleum company. This is why BABY LOVE STUDIO's services are on a per-appointment basis only and normally done on weekends. Edilbert prides himself to be an expert in handling and soothing babies owing to his being a hands-on father of 4.

Just look at these beautiful babies!

What I like about Baby Love Studio is they offer pocket-friendly photo packages! It ranges from Php2,500 to Php5,000. They also do events coverage. View more of their photos at their gallery here.

I've always like photography. I have several film cameras, 2 SLR, 1 TLR, a lot of lomo cameras which are gathering dusts. The BOS has his own camera collection. I still have a stash of films (yes they still exist!) in the fridge. I'm hoping 1 day I'd get back to my old hobby and start shooting again.

For now, I'm using my iPhone 3GS and my trusty LX3 for all my photos in the blog and for taking photos of the kids. I want to own a DSLR again!

Anyways, I want to share to you some of the photos I took during my recent trip to Hong Kong! All in black and white which I find more dramatic and romantic. I love the contrast!
