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.

Moms of Mary Grace: A Baby Shower Story
For a cafe that is highly frequented by many adorable Titas, Mary Grace truly becomes a venue of choice for intimate celebrations. From Baby Showers, Birthdays and even just a regular “Tita-Kits”, Mary Grace is able to make our ordinary days a little more special. Rica’s family, secretly came together and arranged a baby shower for her, to welcome their newest family member — Baby Raya! “The venue is already pretty, we just have to bring the party!” said her sister Cara. And as a photographer, I do agree 🙂 It’s also my happy place! Filipino families really love taking group pictures together, while waiting for the celebrant. 🙂 This…

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…

Aisel and Justin’s Answered Prayer
It’s always fun to take photos of friends. You think you know them already because you see them ‘often’, but when you meet them at a portrait session, it feels a little more special. You also realize that you’re in a super cool situation, because they are sharing with you, an answered prayer. I once said that it’s very cool to be a guardian of good memories, for little children. But every time I do photography, I’m reminded that I am THAT child too, because the Lord is our Father. When I work with His children ( like Aisel and Justin), He too ensures that He makes good and fun…

One with Nature at El Jardin de Zaida
I truly cherish the times when my two loves cross paths — quality time & traveling. Even though staying at home is not really a foreign or distant idea to many of us anymore, there will always be something that will make my heart jump when I become reunited with nature, fresh air, lots of sunlight and yes…wide open spaces! I’m writing this blog entry to once again give inspiration and ideas for families who are also looking for ways to continue making life memorable, while still putting health and safety as a top priority. I hope also, that as you browse the photos, you will be able to relax…

Getting to Know Julie
These days, I feel I miss flying. But, dwelling on such does not really make things better…flying in good memories does! By now, my niece Julie is six. We met in Singapore when she was less than a year old, and then, time flew! It’s a good thing we spent time together, to collect evidence about how the Lord loves her. Now we’ve actually got something to cherish and look back at. Lovely parents, Leo and Wanying with Julie. Met my cousin Leo on my Grand parent’s Golden Wedding, Anniversary… when I was six! We were rehearsing to a cousin-group performance of “Getting to Know You” from the movie, “The…

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 (…

Tala’s Baptism at Sacred Heart Parish Shrine
During the GCQ, we had a chance to be able to welcome Tala to the Christian World. Even if a lot of protocols are already being observed at the church, and things do seem a lot different from how we did things before, we may still be comforted by the thought that Jesus is the same everywhere. He hears us, wherever, and whenever we pray. Even in our silence, He is there. It is my first time to see my “home-court” in five months. This is where I go to mass ever since I was little. Sitting near the front pews while waiting for my friends Francis and Bea, never…
