We got a chance to meet Scarlet Snow and Dr. Hayden Kho through Smart Parenting Online’s photo shoot and interview for their Father’s Day Feature ( Dad We Love).

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, 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…

Sweet Pink! | Audrey Turns One in Cherry Blossom Fashion
Audrey’s first birthday party celebration was splashed in pink and purple hues. Her parents Len and Klenn have once again created a truly memorable experience for their daughter to enjoy, just like how they did it during older brother Andrei’s first birthday. This time around, their party was inspired by Cherry Blossoms and Japanese dolls. Paper lanterns definitely added that extra classic feel, to their spacious venue. We saw a lot of familiar faces in the pool of family and friends who attended the party. What’s nice about these events is the fact that you get to see people growing as individuals, yet they manage to grow closer to their…

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…
