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.

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…
