Regina: The Mother of Summer | Maternity Portraits Session
A few months back, we joined Regina in welcoming her baby girl named Summer through a maternity photo shoot. It’s quite a joy for us to be spending quality time with her, the second time around, since she was first our bride at Benjie Tiongco Photography. Hers was a morning wedding. As we enjoyed photographing her, this time as a mommy-to-be, we saw in her that same radiance, that of a bride on her wedding day. In this photo shoot, we could still imagine her holding up a beautiful bouquet! It’s amazing. Through this shoot, we opened up a new chapter with her called “Pretty Preggy!” Hair and Make Up…

Love Lynne’s Lovely Baby Shower
It’s always a good time when family members come together to celebrate stories, waiting to be written. Yes! I can already imagine how parents just like Love Lynne and Ray, would have more and more colorful moments to count, when their baby is welcomed into their beautiful life and beautiful home. We did her maternity portraits at their house, while the rest of the family was busy preparing for her, a Baby Shower. Steph (Love Lynne’s younger sister) shares that she got inspired by the works of event stylists in our previous shoot together. After that, she sourced out ways to create small decorations that would make the house party…

Riona’s Matryoshka Doll Themed Party | Corinthian Gardens Clubhouse
Just a little back story… About a year ago, I had a photo shoot gig with Smart Parenting, wherein we were tasked to feature a restaurant with a kid friendly menu and facilities. The article and photos about Project Pie is still online (just in case you want to check it out) as penned by Steph Esguerra. After the shoot, Derek and Pinky who were just having lunch at that time, kindly invited us over at their table and we shared our pizza creations and stories together. It was really nice to have met them over awesome food. Months later we would find each other celebrating their daughter’s first year…

David’s First Birthday Party | Valle Verde I Clubhouse
Probably one of my earliest documented (memories) with Anna H., was actually in a birthday party. We had started being friends as little girls at ( Mary Knoll and Assumption) tagging along with our brothers who were classmates in Ateneo GS. Little did we know that, X-number of years later she and I would find each other celebrating life together, as she hits an awesome milestone in having been blessed with a beautiful family. I get to meet her husband Mike for the first time, and of course our cool celebrant David.

Mei’s MaterniTEA Party| Van Gogh is Bipolar
Mei had mentioned to me that some friends of hers were throwing her a baby shower over at Van Gogh is Bipolar. She advised me that we can do her maternity portraits there. Since it was a new venue to me, I really didn’t know what to expect, or what to tell her on how we would be doing the photo shoot. But when we finally got to the place one rainy afternoon, it felt like my jaw dropped and my mind blew. I lost my words, but let me tell you about our inspiring experience, in pictures. Shoes and bottles Waiting for Amano A house full of art. Tea…

Lucas Turns 1 | Gymboree Manila Polo Club
Lucas celebrated his first birthday at Gymboree Manila Polo Club, where his Mom Rizzie and Daddy Bom put together a Mickey Mouse-themed party. They are both based in Singapore but it’s really amazing how they are able to put together such a nice party, with really no dull moment in it! Our tiny friend Lucas had the time of his life crawling and playing around Gymboree along with many kids ( and their parents too!). There were cool activities that were prepared for kids to enjoy like painting wooden cars and airplanes for little guys. Crafty and glitzy materials were also made available for decorating and bejewelling bags for tiny hands. I could…

Kristel’s Maternity Portraits | Rizal Park
I’ve said it before but I just want to say it again. It enlarges the heart to be celebrating milestones with our past brides and grooms and I really feel blessed whenever I get to reconnect with them! I got to know Kristel and Joey first when they booked me as their wedding photographer. Originally, these two crazy and amazing people wanted to have a sports-themed engagement session ( prenup photo shoot) to celebrate both their passion for sports writing. Whew! But they really had a tight schedule back then — zooming from one sports coverage to another. So they just decided to hold a post wedding photo shoot instead.…

A Season for Everything
My heart is still exploding from an adventure-charged week, and it is only now that I could actually sit down and get my thoughts together – and I still don’t know where to start. I kinda wish my fingers could type faster than my head could construct sentences. Anyway, first! A shout out to all mothers. I know this is a late greeting since, mothers day was yesterday. I was at work, shooting a back to back Tagaytay wedding with our team at BTP, and at one part of the reception, the moms were greeted and recognized. I realized how, there are so many mommies who were there, attending weddings…

Sean Turns One! | A Circus Themed Party
Sean’s first birthday celebration was really exploding with color. Festive balloons lined up the ceiling of the venue giving every guest a quick moment to go “wow!” as they enter through the center door of the party hall. Apart from a really entertaining circus show prepared for both the young and the young at heart, Vany and Gilbert also poured their effort in creating such a glorious dessert buffet. To top it all, the world’s happiest bee paid Sean a visit aswell, making him really cheerful on his very first birthday celebration! Scroll down and enjoy the photos. 🙂

Andy turns 1! | A Bear Themed Party
Andy is the very cute daughter of my high school classmate Danica. Funny, whenever I try to look back for my memories with “Dada” as we fondly called her before, I’d find myself laughing out loud because life for us was just so wacky! Hearing her and her barkada’s laughter is still so fresh, it seems like it was just yesterday when our classrooms exploded with our craziness. For Andy’s first birthday celebration, she had a bear themed party which her parents Danica and Tootchie had prepared for her. The details were so cute! I’m pretty sure, Andy would have the time of her life, when someday she looks back…
