Hello everyone, it's been a while since my last post... 
Things are a little busy and my mind cannot stay focused, but I'm here to share one of my latest projects!

My cousin's son was christened last Sunday and I got to be the photographer of the event. We had some amazing portraits in the church yard and I got to practice in shooting an event where things move really quick. It has been a great lesson although I had some setbacks that upset me. My new camera flash *(a present from @steemychicken1)* didn't work out as I was expecting, mostly because I haven't completely understood how it works. In plain words, it let me down at a very crucial moment, as the baby boy was going into the water, but I learnt how to make lemonade with my lemons on this occasion and tried to save as many pictures as I could. 

Anyway, as I felt really bad for screwing those 3 significant minutes, I decided to make a digital photo album for my nephew to have as a memoir of his special day,

### his Christening day!

> *and this is my Christening day*

I started with a few relative photos, first the parents, then the grandparents, the godfather, the aunts, uncles and cousins...

For an unpaid amateur who spent 6 hours on putting this 47-page album, I believe I delivered a great piece of work.
I can't wait for this Sunday to see my sister's boy becoming a Christian too! My mum has prepared so much food for the buffet and my sister and I have bought so many beautiful decorations. - my artist cousin and I will take care of setting them. My sister also hired a professional photographer, so I will just take a few random pictures of the whole event *(this translates into at least 500)*, so be ready to see some more ***Baby Bloom*** posts soon!
