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…

Moms of Mary Grace: A Baby Shower Story
For a cafe that is highly frequented by many adorable Titas, Mary Grace truly becomes a venue of choice for intimate celebrations. From Baby Showers, Birthdays and even just a regular “Tita-Kits”, Mary Grace is able to make our ordinary days a little more special. Rica’s family, secretly came together and arranged a baby shower for her, to welcome their newest family member — Baby Raya! “The venue is already pretty, we just have to bring the party!” said her sister Cara. And as a photographer, I do agree 🙂 It’s also my happy place! Filipino families really love taking group pictures together, while waiting for the celebrant. 🙂 This…

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…

The Flash : Luis Turns One | Mahogany Place 3 Clubhouse
And just like that, Luis has turned one! For his first birthday party, he greets us with warm and wide smiles as “The Flash”. A few months back, we got to post about his Christening party which was held at Santuario de San Antonio with a reception that followed at Mahogany Place 3 Clubhouse. It’s always a treat to see how these venues get to be transformed for different occasions and parties. We returned to the same venue, with the same fun crowd of family and friends for his first birthday party. I just love how Debbie and Enrik always ensure that their events are memorable not only for Luis, but also…

Sadie’s Madeline Birthday Bash | Ayala Hillside
The theme song of the kids TV Show Madeline immediately came to mind as soon as I saw Mom Sher, and Sadie enter the room. They were so cute in their matching Madeline outfits and Sadie even had a hat as well, just like how Madeline really is. While writing this blog post, I couldn’t help it! I just had to go onto  Youtube to listen to the opening song, again ( and maybe 1-2 episodes)… hahaha! Even though Sadie’s party was a kids party, I think of it as a really elegant little girl’s party. With flowers in place of balloons that we normally see, and touches of white,…

Family Time: Kakam, Mea and Riley | Ateneo de Manila University
There’s something very sweet and tender about going back to your roots. For Kakam who has studied in Ateneo, returning to the grounds that help shape how he is as husband to Mea and a dad to their son Riley, is a nostalgic feat. It is also in this campus where dormers Mea and Kakam first met and eventually became a couple. One sunny afternoon, we found ourselves, looking back at our own journey as classmates, and also looking forward to how this little guy Riley sees his own adventure. Running around, tripping, Â standing up and learning how to walk again, are just some life lessons which are also applicable…

Coming Home to Inay | Portraits at Manila Orchidarium
I’ve been photographing lots of young families lately, and have been assisting them on preserving their moments through print. While checking out my hard drive, I stumbled upon an old photoshoot that I felt was still relevant to share. Shooting weddings, portraits, and birthday parties, has really helped to grow my heart for families ( clients, and even my own as well).  Can you Imagine how big your family may be around 25-30 years from today? Have you ever though that you may have actually given birth to the best of your friends? In truth, this really is, a Post Mother’s Day blog entry dedicated to moms of all seasons…

Up, Up and Away with Lia Noelle | Park Terraces Birthday Party
Lia Noelle celebrated her first birthday in “flying colors” (quite literally that is!). Arriving at the venue, I haven’t even picked up my camera yet, and I already knew how lovely this little lady’s party would be. When I arrived, Blue (Dad) was overseeing the finishing touches for the event, while Mara ( Mom) was taking care of Lia and getting her ready for the party. Lia entered the room with full energy.  She really enjoyed walking around and meeting everyone in her cute birthday dress. Happy Birthday again Lia! I hope someday these photos will make you smile even more, when you’re old enough. Enjoy the photos. 🙂 It also was nice to…
