Pili’s Baptismal Day | Mt. Carmel Shrine
It was raining so hard in Manila during the week of this photoshoot. But, by God’s grace the baptism of Pili pushed through and all of us attendees got showered with the warmth of friends and family members coming together to celebrate. The baptism was held at Mt. Carmel Shrine in New Manila, at 9AM. Parents Pam and Miguel invited their best friends to become the God Parents of Pili. Big brother Manu was also celebrating his birthday, and for the reception, it was a super-fun double celebration ( I this reserved for another post, coming soon!). Even if it rained, the plants around the baptistry made our occasion even…

Bea’s Baptism | Presentation of the Child Jesus Parish Church
God is truly a way maker and He doesn’t hesitate showering His children with blessings. He is faithful and His love does endure forever. The presentation in the temple is… the 4th JOYFUL mystery, in the rosary. And whenever I encounter this mystery, I feel like work is not just work, but a participation in the life of Jesus, specifically — the Child Jesus. These days, family events and celebrations may seem smaller than what used to be small. And baptisms are not spared from this “simplification”. But then again, we are all reminded that, when it comes to connecting with our Father God, the only essential is… time. Meet…

Olivia’s Baptism | Mt. Carmel, Quezon City
Our family is God's first gift to us. This is a message that I always get reminded of whenever I shoot events like baptismal ceremonies. I enter the church premises with my gear on hand and "work-to-do" but I also believe that my own Father, God, is happy to see me come home to him whenever I get to serve in His house.

Talia’s Baptism Reception | Happy Garden Cafe
Because there is always something to be thankful for, the family has plenty of reasons to come together and celebrate! Talia’s Baptism was followed by an intimate party held at Happy Garden Cafe ( Jupiter Street). The sweets buffet and stage setup was done by the amazing Angie Metin. 🙂 I suggest that you scroll down slowly so that you can savor every treat she has put together for your super cute celebrant. I was also given a plant after the event – Thank You Reyes Fam! – ( Proud to say that I’ve managed to keep it alive as of this writing – woohoo for me!). It’s so cool…

Talia’s Baptism | Santuario de San Antonio
The journey of a thousand miles must begin…with God 🙂 The Reyes Family ( Girlie, Migs and Kuya Quino) has been gifted with yet another blessing and she goes by the name Talia. We celebrated together during the day of her Baptism, at Santuario de San Antonio, where friends and loved ones came to make more good memories. We have a side-story by the way. Mommy Girlie made the day extra special by decorating the candles with one of my most favorite craft items — WASHI TAPE! 🙂 She managed to get some rolls of the designs that she wanted online, and because of that, we’ve got more candle photos…

Liam Turns One! | Paw Patrol Party
My heart for taking photos has been evolving lately, and fast! I think events like the ARTFAIR 2019 can do that to just about anyone. Suddenly photos are not just mere “snapshots” that one took in this lifetime. But actually, it is very much a piece of history that can tell about a particular day or decade or even century. It’s a clue! A glimpse of how life was, in our case for our little time traveler, LIAM. Meet Liam 🙂 He has turned one, and we celebrated it with a PAW PATROL themed birthday party, in the year 2019! 🙂 Here is Liam and his brother Luis, who adores…
