The Journey is the Reward: Reflections About Coming Home
*COMING HOME* For many years, shooting for us meant that we’d go far, go places, explore and jump into adventure. However as of recent travels ( and shoots), we’ve come to realize that every time we do what we love to do, we the surfers of time, come closer and closer to whatever we’d treat as home. After the shoot we do come home, to our families, our favorite people, and yes, even to ourselves. When you feel at home with yourself, whether you go near, or far, whether you go simple or extra-special, you will always feel like you have already arrived instead of constantly waiting, and thinking about…

Smart Parenting Feature: Erika Padilla-Cariaso
Bubbly, Perky and Beautiful. During our shoot with Smart Parenting Online, Erika Padilla shared with us some wonderful insights about life and becoming a mother. Explosions of laughter filled the room, and every so often we had to pause to catch our breath, trying to keep quiet on the set. I placed here some photos as seen at the article which was originally published on August 7 2017. I also included some of my favorite shots of her in the post.:) As of this writing Erika has already given birth to Grayson Jet. 🙂

Raffy and Carmela | Engagement Session | Urdaneta Village
Photographing families, kids and babies have long occupied the base of my heart. Even when I’m shooting weddings, I tend to follow my tiny friends who are usually the nephews or nieces of our clients. In the case of Raffy and Carmela, well, let’s just say I had met “Mea” at a time that she could still pass off as a flower girl. She is one of my sister’s closest friends and it is such a great thing that they have managed to stay in touch, as they leaf through new chapters in life. Because of that, she too is like family to me. Congratulations Raffy and Carmela! God Bless…

Aria’s Christening Party | Cafe Enye, Eastwood
Together with Mom Abu, Dad Bede, and older brother Bastien, Aria Renee was welcomed to God’s family through a short but sweet ceremony that was held on June 24, 2017, at Christ the King Church, White Plains. It’s really very touching to see and watch friends and family come together to celebrate each other’s milestones. It’s like a reunion too, for friends who have not seen each other for a long time. At the stylish and homey Cafe Enye, guests were treated to a sumptuous lunch buffet. The place was packed with loads of good food, laughter and good memories. As of this writing, I believe some of Abu and Bede’s…

Raielle Turns One | Disney Tsum Tsum Birthday Party
A few weeks before this shoot, I was photographing holiday gift ideas for Smart Parenting Online. I wasn’t familiar with Disney Tsum Tsum yet, and I have to admit, I said “What is this?” when I first saw it. Yet, a Santa Clause gave me one come Christmas Time. If you scroll to the bottom of this post, I’ll show you:) hehehe! Since their wedding, we’ve been counting milestones with mom Em and Dad Raj. 🙂 Now celebrating life with their second child, and the rest of their family, we hope to inspire you, our readers, to strengthen ties with your own families and friends by creating fun memories, and bonding over…

From Baguio With Love | Minesview Park, Baguio City
When people ask me what kind of photographer I am, I usually just say, “I shoot people for a living”. Of course, this is followed by a quick explanation that what I really meant was that I photographed events, and that I also do portraits for personal and commercial use. Simple and direct. No fuss. It’s a service, artfully done. Or well, Art, delivered with a heart of a service. One can’t go, without the other. Outside of what I call work, I really do enjoy quiet moments. Last year, I came up to visit an old friend, whom I kept on returning to, on various stages of my life.…

Thirdie’s Safari World Party | Flair Towers, Mandaluyong
Welcome to Thirdie’s Safari World! He celebrated his first birthday with a lot of party animals, as styled and decorated by Dianne Khu. There was an explosion of colors that really reminded you about the outdoors, even though the party was held inside a function room at Flair Towers Mandaluyong. The place was transformed into festive location and upon entering, guests were already getting greeted by a lion! Mom Chimene and Dad Ed also had a lot of fun creating moments with Thirdie. As you scroll down, you’ll see! 🙂 The kids, family and friends also had a lot of fun, thanks to our host Flooch who kept everyone beaming…

Concio Family | Smart Parenting Feature
A few months back, we were given the honor of meeting such a cool and extremely creative family — The Concio Family. We worked with Smart Parenting ‘s Lei Sison this time for a feature on their website which was especially written for expectant moms ( Preggy Chronicles).
