From Baguio With Love | Minesview Park, Baguio City
When people ask me what kind of photographer I am, I usually just say, “I shoot people for a living”. Of course, this is followed by a quick explanation that what I really meant was that I photographed events, and that I also do portraits for personal and commercial use. Simple and direct. No fuss. It’s a service, artfully done. Or well, Art, delivered with a heart of a service. One can’t go, without the other. Outside of what I call work, I really do enjoy quiet moments. Last year, I came up to visit an old friend, whom I kept on returning to, on various stages of my life.…

Tea Time with Elize| Unilab Bayanihan Center
I often hear at Church or whenever I get to hear inspiring talks on family life and parenting every now and then, that “Your family is your first ministry”. For Marge and Erik, holding an event where their huge family can come together to celebrate is a gesture of their love for togetherness and quality time. Even though Elize is still too little and too young to remember, they are already laying down some touch stones or memories for Elize to hold on to when she grows older. They prepared for a her a stylish and wonderful event that was well attended by family and friends who, one day, Elize will treat…

Turtle Power! Rafa’s First Birthday | Urdaneta Clubhouse
A few months or weeks before Rafa’s birthday, his parents were already dropping hints about their preparation and the possible theme for their party. You see, birthday parties, much like weddings and other family occasions, also take a lot of work, organizing and planning. If you ask me, what I most admire in the preparation process, is really the teamwork that happens, between husband and wife. The excitement they get out of building something really memorable creates for them that cool journey, of doing things, together with so much joy :). It amazes me too, that their family and friends are always available, to pause… and party! They’re never too…

Smart Parenting Features : Chynna Ortaleza-Cipriano’s Birthing Story
We got to meet super cool mommy, Chynna Ortaleza-Cipriano during our shoot about her birthing story with Smart Parenting Online back in October 2016. Listening to her and watching her while she shared her experiences with the team, was so entertaining. She’s such an awesome story teller, that even though we were in a show room, her way of describing the entire experience made us feel that we were also with her there in the hospital. It was crazy, cool and fun at the same time. Very much like how she is as a person. As she continued to share with us her story, we noticed how she also highlights…

Seconds with Val | Celebrating New Chances
The house isnât empty. đ My friend Val, escaped the fire that broke into their home a few months back. Had she not, I would have been shooting walls. Only walls filled with faint memories of her, and me being left clueless about what she was last thinking, or feeling, or doing. When I met her, a few days after the incident, she said, âBuhay Ako!â. And I think I replied something like ⌠You donât know how happy I am to hear that. And no matter how cinematic it might have looked and sounded, we did hug like we have never hugged before. ( Insert tears here). đ I…
