Live Awesome!
I was sitting in a class on Creative MBA a few years back when I first saw her giving a talk, and thought, Hey! We went to school together! When she released the “Assumption Handwriting” Font, my friends and I found it really cool because, it reminded us of the days when we had to practice writing during our penmanship classes ( oh hello there, nostalgia!). This cursive, sharp, and elegant style felt like you’re writing in what… high heels or even stilletos! Although that kind of writing I can summon ( only when provoked ), @Mikko Sumulong encouraged me to try writing the way I comfortably would. And the results are amazing!…

Cheryl Rocks Six Lovely Looks for Moms-to-be | A Maternity Shoot Series Part 2
I believe that it takes courage to live life in color 🙂 This is what Cheryl and her sisters did during our photo shoot. They made this remarkable setup, that helped to bring to life … their own back yard! The props, the pillows and the plants were all stuff they have always had. The clothes and accessories too are part of their daily life. It was just a matter of knowing how to put them together in a way they have never seen before. 🙂 If you’ve got this kind of attitude, seemingly ordinary days, will always feel special. You just have to be bold enough to keep on…

How do you make the waiting game beautiful? Keep on having fun, and do it in STYLE! This is what first time mommy Cheryl did during her maternity photo shoot. To add to that, weeks before her session, she was already very enthusiastic in the preparation phase, constantly looking for inspirations as we wait for the coming of our photo shoot day. She rocked not one, not two, but six outfits with the help of her lovely sisters Cindy and Joanne. Girl Powaaah! Both fashionistas themselves, these girls live and breathe details. Together, these three sisters, express themselves, not only on special occasions but on a regular basis. They take…

Bettina Carlos | My Birthing Story by Smart Parenting
Early this year, we did a photo shoot for an article by Smart Parenting featuring Bettina & Gummy ( Click here to read the full post.) In this article she shared her experiences through her pregnancy and the day her daughter was born. I just thought I’d share more of their fun and candid moments together. 🙂 They really know how to have #qualitytime and #qualityconversations! I also like that Bettina shares daily reflections, about her walk with Gummy and the Lord, on her IG. See more of them at ( https://www.instagram.com/abettinnacarlos/)

The Journey is the Reward: Reflections About Coming Home
*COMING HOME* For many years, shooting for us meant that we’d go far, go places, explore and jump into adventure. However as of recent travels ( and shoots), we’ve come to realize that every time we do what we love to do, we the surfers of time, come closer and closer to whatever we’d treat as home. After the shoot we do come home, to our families, our favorite people, and yes, even to ourselves. When you feel at home with yourself, whether you go near, or far, whether you go simple or extra-special, you will always feel like you have already arrived instead of constantly waiting, and thinking about…

Raffy and Carmela | Engagement Session | Urdaneta Village
Photographing families, kids and babies have long occupied the base of my heart. Even when I’m shooting weddings, I tend to follow my tiny friends who are usually the nephews or nieces of our clients. In the case of Raffy and Carmela, well, let’s just say I had met “Mea” at a time that she could still pass off as a flower girl. She is one of my sister’s closest friends and it is such a great thing that they have managed to stay in touch, as they leaf through new chapters in life. Because of that, she too is like family to me. Congratulations Raffy and Carmela! God Bless…

Aria’s Christening Party | Cafe Enye, Eastwood
Together with Mom Abu, Dad Bede, and older brother Bastien, Aria Renee was welcomed to God’s family through a short but sweet ceremony that was held on June 24, 2017, at Christ the King Church, White Plains. It’s really very touching to see and watch friends and family come together to celebrate each other’s milestones. It’s like a reunion too, for friends who have not seen each other for a long time. At the stylish and homey Cafe Enye, guests were treated to a sumptuous lunch buffet. The place was packed with loads of good food, laughter and good memories. As of this writing, I believe some of Abu and Bede’s…
