Welcome to the Christian World Luis | Santuario de San Antonio Baptism
Luis is one of the super-smiley kids who are always hopping around on my newsfeed. He came into the world last year, and ever since then, Mom Debbie has been so generous in sharing her moments with Luis and Dad Enrik. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one delighted by this bundle of joy. But I do feel quite lucky to be able to celebrate more milestones with their family. For his baptism, we went back to the same church where Enrik and Debbie got married – Santuario de San Antonio. With the many couples whose weddings we’ve photographed in the same place over the last 5 years, I…

Sail Away! : A Nautical Themed Christening Party at Chef Laudico Guevarra’s
We welcomed little Aiden to the Christian world at Santuario de San Jose. But before that, we were lucky enough to have started the day with him, together with his family at their home. Mom Jayme tells us that with a little help from her crafty friend Patchi, they decided to have a Nautical themed party, which incidentally fit the design of Aiden’s own room. Together, they created the table top decors which were sitting pretty in the room as we arrived. A toast to DIY projects. These moms definitely made Aiden’s party more personal and unique. Watch Jayme and husband Dino have fun with their kids. My family and I…

Titus & Belle’s Medieval Birthday Party | Puerta Real Gardens, Intramuros
A few weeks back, I posted about this birthday party where it rained really hard, but the children continued to play. They were limitless and unstoppable! 🙂 The weather unbelievably gave this Medieval themed party that extra kick that enhanced the occasion and even made everyone laugh and play more. The celebrants, Titus and Belle, became prince and princess for a day because of Mommy Sharine and Daddy Mark’s amazing work. The party was held at Puerta Real Gardens, where family and friends were treated to a feast fit for a king. Apart from the games played and the milestones counted to honor Titus and Belle, this party was made extra…

Adam: Back to the Future | Portraits at Pan de Amerikana
Family portraits are a fun way of keeping precious moments with loved ones. Apart from reminding us of how much kids may have grown, I love how pictures invite each one to imagine, and feel again. It’s amazing how time really does pass by. From milestone to milestone, photos get to remind us of the many chapters that one does go through in life. The little boy that you will see here is our Time Traveler Adam, whom I first met when he was just two months old. He’s a wonderful kid who loves to pose for the camera. We are actually celebrating together because he has a playmate on the…

Little Red: Max’s Lady Bug House Party
House Parteeey! JR and and Isa decided to celebrate their baby Max’s birthday party at their house. It was really nice to meet them again after their wedding which I got to shoot some years back. For this party, their daughter takes on the super cute role of a lady bug that turned one. Max is such a curious little girl. Much like her parents who really love to explore the outdoors, she enjoyed her photoshoot held at their backyard. While Max played along with us during the shoot, family and friends were coming in with big warm smiles and greetings – a very familiar atmosphere which I also saw…

Dennise | Portraits of Motherhood
There are those people who come by our lives as if they were just passing by, and yet by some stroke of luck they leave you with an imprint of so much joy and really good memories. Dennise is absolutely one of them. First a jolly bride, and then a cool and hip mommy who turns out to be a really inspiring lady who has her heart right where it belongs: her amazing (and growing) family. Clocking in plenty of hours in their family business, and taking care of kids is no easy feat, and yet she manages to do it with flying colors. Apart from amazing and cute kiddies,…

Nikoy and Donna | Macau Engagement Session
My siblings and I were originally just planning to have a pretty normal travel holiday ( if there is actually such a thing :P), but just to make things more fun and memorable, we decided to document it, in style! Nikoy is my older brother. He got married to Donna over the weekend. Howdy sister-in-law! We wandered the streets of Macau together with my sister Maggie, and enjoyed every second of the day, wherever our feet took us. It was a nice bonding time for us too as siblings. It’s such a pleasure that I could share my passion for photography with my family. Here are some teaser photos. To…
