Raya’s Baptism
Celebrating life in chapters makes it more memorable. Though the pages in our days might be flipping way faster than we think it is, because of our busy schedules, to sit down and quietly enjoy the blessings that each day brings, is in itself, an act of gratefulness. I was told, Raya, whom I met as a belly first during the baby shower, will have her birthday soon 🙂 And it’s a good time to look back at the day when we welcomed her to God’s family. I keep wondering how much she’s already grown since the last time we met. And am excited to see her or bump into…

Pam & Miguel
Let’s Time Travel! Pam & Miguel asked to have their couple photoshoot at the place where they met each other: San Beda College of Law. And as we walked through the halls of their school, I could sense them reminiscing about the years when they just met. Although this is not my first time inside the campus, it is my first time to have a photoshoot here. We had our shoot in between 3:00-5:00 PM on a sunny Saturday, where we walked ( and pretty much laughed) the afternoon away. Although it has been months since the time of this portrait session, I can still remember how these two greeted…

Anna Mae @ Forty
One of the most beautiful gifts that a person can receive, is to come from a Filipino family whose bond remains and continues to grow strong as life's new chapters unfold. For Anna Mae, who welcomed a new decade recently, and is currently based in another country, flying home for the weekend is worth all the effort.

Indoor Playground Party for Hunter and Marlee
Parents are always looking for ways to make their celebrations more memorable for their children. Instead of having a full program for their kids, Moms Weki and Diane chose to hold a joint birthday party for sons Marlee & Hunter, in an indoor playground in Quezon City (Treehaus @ 84 Hemady). The children just spent their time running around the venue and creating their own games! This is a really good idea especially if you love candid photos… like me! As a fan of Inside Out 1 & 2, I always feel energized when I think about my work as a photographer that seeks to create core memories for children…

Aisel and Justin’s Answered Prayer
It’s always fun to take photos of friends. You think you know them already because you see them ‘often’, but when you meet them at a portrait session, it feels a little more special. You also realize that you’re in a super cool situation, because they are sharing with you, an answered prayer. I once said that it’s very cool to be a guardian of good memories, for little children. But every time I do photography, I’m reminded that I am THAT child too, because the Lord is our Father. When I work with His children ( like Aisel and Justin), He too ensures that He makes good and fun…

Chapters at Home with Bea | DIY Celebration
As God’s blessings continue to pour out in the lives of families inside a pandemic, one way to remain grateful is to accept the situation, trust that God has a plan, and continue to live a grateful life. For Irvin and Tina who have been blessed with three children putting God first is really a non-negotiable. We celebrated their daughter’s baptism at the Presentation of the Child Jesus Parish Church, followed by lunch at home with their family members who couldn’t attend the ceremony. A “Baptizoom” link was also provided for the friends who wanted to celebrate this milestone with Team Domingo. This event is made extra special because of…

Team Reyes 2020 | Family Portraits
More than a year ago, Team Reyes celebrated the Baptism of Talia at Sanctuario de San Antonio. It was the first time that our paths crossed and I guess we opened a new chapter together. Before the New Year opened, their family once again decided to pause for a shoot, celebrating a new wave of blessings that came their way. It’s so inspiring to hear their stories about adjusting to 2020, how they’ve become closer as a family taking new roles in a WFH setup and at the same time, growing a family of four. Being busy bodies, you’d really appreciate their drive, their discipline and their commitment to their…

Atara Turns 3 | Chapters at Home
A whole new world— Indeed! Sometimes I find myself wondering about how to tell my tiny friends like Atara (3YO), about this season, where Covid-19 seem to have robbed a lot of families of good memories. But, what I’ve learned is that accepting the situation does not mean defeat. It means, “okay-and?”. This is exactly what happened when we had Atara’s birthday portraits. Her parents, Ashby and Josh, were determined to make sure that Atara’s heart will be filled with loads of laughter, so they were preparing a home-based virtual party where Atara’s friends were invited on Zoom. 🙂 Isn’t that inspiring? 🙂 To celebrate her special day, we had…

Niña’s Baptism | Christ the King Green Meadows
HOPE. If there’s one thing that I truly appreciate about shooting in this season, it is the presence of hope and joy in the hearts of families. Many of us have been made to stay at home for safety purposes, and well to save a life! But if we change our lenses for a little bit to focus on other angles of life in 2020, we will find life-giving moments. — Moments to be grateful for, moments to remember that blessings abound because the Lord is good. Just like welcoming our newest “tiny” friend, Niña, to the Christian world. 😉 Cara and Mike, we’ve met in a previous chapter (…
