Together, these three sisters, express themselves, not only on special occasions but on a regular basis. They take…

Bettina Carlos | My Birthing Story by Smart Parenting
Early this year, we did a photo shoot for an article by Smart Parenting featuring Bettina & Gummy ( Click here to read the full post.) In this article she shared her experiences through her pregnancy and the day her daughter was born. I just thought I’d share more of their fun and candid moments together. 🙂 They really know how to have #qualitytime and #qualityconversations! I also like that Bettina shares daily reflections, about her walk with Gummy and the Lord, on her IG. See more of them at ( https://www.instagram.com/abettinnacarlos/)

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…

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…

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…
