Anna Mae @ Forty
One of the most beautiful gifts that a person can receive, is to come from a Filipino family whose bond remains and continues to grow strong as life's new chapters unfold. For Anna Mae, who welcomed a new decade recently, and is currently based in another country, flying home for the weekend is worth all the effort.

Celebrating Life with Hannah: A Grad Party Story
LET’S TIME TRAVEL! It’s not so long ago when I photographed the baptism of my godchild, Hannah. And It blew my mind when suddenly she has already graduated from grade school! My heart fluttered a bit when she entered the venue, and quite frankly, I lost my words too! I don’t even remember what I had said apart from “Congrats!” I was surprised at how time has flown once again. And before I knew it, laughter has exploded as more family members entered our beautiful venue in Marikina. We also played some games that the family and kids enjoyed, which my very good friend (Mommy) Meg prepared. We had a…

Chapters at Home with Bea | DIY Celebration
As God’s blessings continue to pour out in the lives of families inside a pandemic, one way to remain grateful is to accept the situation, trust that God has a plan, and continue to live a grateful life. For Irvin and Tina who have been blessed with three children putting God first is really a non-negotiable. We celebrated their daughter’s baptism at the Presentation of the Child Jesus Parish Church, followed by lunch at home with their family members who couldn’t attend the ceremony. A “Baptizoom” link was also provided for the friends who wanted to celebrate this milestone with Team Domingo. This event is made extra special because of…

Bea’s Baptism | Presentation of the Child Jesus Parish Church
God is truly a way maker and He doesn’t hesitate showering His children with blessings. He is faithful and His love does endure forever. The presentation in the temple is… the 4th JOYFUL mystery, in the rosary. And whenever I encounter this mystery, I feel like work is not just work, but a participation in the life of Jesus, specifically — the Child Jesus. These days, family events and celebrations may seem smaller than what used to be small. And baptisms are not spared from this “simplification”. But then again, we are all reminded that, when it comes to connecting with our Father God, the only essential is… time. Meet…

Moments with the Laycos | Chapters at Home
Counting blessings comes in many forms. But, I believe that when you make your blessings count, and you share them they eventually multiply. Last November, our super cute and energetic little lady, ATARA, turned three and she greeted her new year with a princes Jasmine themed photo shoot! Little did she know that she will be really jumping into a whole new world :).We just got news that the family found out over the Holidays that she’s going to be an ATE (big sister) soon! 😉 Congrats again on your new Chapter & may more and more blessings chase after you! 😉

Niña’s Baptism | Christ the King Green Meadows
HOPE. If there’s one thing that I truly appreciate about shooting in this season, it is the presence of hope and joy in the hearts of families. Many of us have been made to stay at home for safety purposes, and well to save a life! But if we change our lenses for a little bit to focus on other angles of life in 2020, we will find life-giving moments. — Moments to be grateful for, moments to remember that blessings abound because the Lord is good. Just like welcoming our newest “tiny” friend, Niña, to the Christian world. 😉 Cara and Mike, we’ve met in a previous chapter (…

Lucia’s First Christmas | Family Portraits
OH, Hello Lucia! Months really do seem like days. 🙂 The belly that I once knew, is now a cute curly top named Lucia who just celebrated her first Christmas! She has made their filled with lots of new experiences, adventures, singing and yes, sleepless nights ^___^. Len and AL shared that they have become used to caring for Lucia by the time we came together for our Christmas shoot. 🙂 Our pregnancy shoot had some window shots too, so we updated that moment with Lucia 🙂 One day, she’ll definitely remember, that we celebrated her littleness, this way. 🙂 In the middle of our shoot, I asked if Len…

Olivia’s Baptism | Mt. Carmel, Quezon City
Our family is God's first gift to us. This is a message that I always get reminded of whenever I shoot events like baptismal ceremonies. I enter the church premises with my gear on hand and "work-to-do" but I also believe that my own Father, God, is happy to see me come home to him whenever I get to serve in His house.
