mes·ti·za (mês-të'zə)

n.    A woman of mixed racial ancestry, especially of mixed European and Native American ancestry.

[Spanish, feminine of mestizo; see mestizo.]

During the colonial period of the Philippines, the term "Mestizo" originally referred only to those of mixed Filipino and Spanish or Mexican ancestry. However, the term soon became generic and synonymous for "mixed race" and has been used to refer to all Filipinos of physically traceable mixed ancestry. *from thefreedictionary and wikipilipinas*

Bobby, Raychel, Canon, and Bear

Amidst the holiday craziness, we took pictures of a lovely couple, Bobby and Raychel, and their fur babies, Canon and Bear.

The pictures turned out great and they've agreed to let me use it in my portfolio.

It was a pleasure to work with them, and another plus? Daniel's thinking of working alongside me with an SLR once we can afford to him one!

Portfolio

At last I've finished my start-up portfolio! Of course, it's still a work in progress since I am taking more pictures in the coming weeks (and am a bit of a perfectionist).

It's still driving me crazy how the pictures look pixelated online and not on my computer, but once I play around it with a bit I'm sure I'll learn the what image sizes are best for the brilliant gallery module.
