Nicky is 5 months old

My precious little one is getting old. His latest accomplishments include rolling from back to belly and from belly to back all day long.. non stop, eating sweet potatoes, started to master the tripod, we'll see what comes up next.
In honor of his 5 monthday, we did this photoshot taking advantage of my newly acquired prime lens and the cutest overalls ever that I got at Children's place on sale. I'm really loving this lens!

Making a good picture, truly amazing in Photoshop

I'm somewhat photoshop saavy; I can do a few things here and there, but mostly I play with the settings to see what I come up with. I have tried different soft focus tutorials for photoshop and this one by far is the best I've tried so far: Creating a dream like effect by thedigitalphotographyconnection.com . I took one of my un-retouched professional wedding pictures to see what I could come up with; I was super excited with the results.
