Sofia’s Baptism | Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
For pandemic babies like Sofia, their baptism ceremony had to be scheduled a little later than ones I usually meet (3-6 months), so that the safety of all the family members can be observed. After two years of being in the arms of her parents, I finally met Sofia 🙂 She’s my third time traveling -baby friend from this family! And I’ve also welcomed her two older brothers during the baptism and birthdays 🙂 I call them time travelers, because I only get to be reunited with the families that I have photographed whenever they have occasions to celebrate. In between those periods, there’s a lot of growth that happens.…

Make Happy Moments at Lola Cafe
I’m a huge fan of quality time. It’s the kind of appointment that is actually a ‘time-out’ from the busyness of life in a week, a month or even a year! And though recharging may come in different strokes for different folks, I believe going on get-togethers and feasting on delicious meals will always be part of the list. Following Baby Geo’s baptism is an intimate, program-less reception at LOLA CAFE, just the way the family loves it. 🙂 An exchange of stories, and life’s blessings was happening among family and friends — some even flew in from abroad for the event. Isn’t it amazing how children keep on bring…

5 Tips for Intimate Baptism Preparations
Social events has been reopening in the country, and households are once again including face-to-face (F2F) celebrations as part of their regular bonding activities. These days, if you are not part of the celebrant’s side, you are probably, a guest! In either case, it’s a joy to be reunited with loved ones. When the revered triad of time, health and responsibilities fall neatly on a wide open plate, my goodness! Please do take a bite by saying yes to invitations (unless of course you are introverting to recharge)! You might not realize that loneliness waved hello, until you get out of your cave and start seeing your people again! Warm…

Geo’s Christ the King Greenmeadows Baptism
Every journey starts with a tiny step. And for Justin and Aisel, this tiny step is a leap into God’s plan. A few months ago, they were anointed to become Geo’s parents here on earth. And in response to this answered prayer, we celebrated life together through Geo’s baptism at Christ the King Greenmeadows. This Church is significant to the couple because it is the same place where they got to solemnize their marriage. it has been a witness to God’s goodness in their lives, so they decided to go back to mark a new chapter: A Life with Geo! Want to see more Christ the King Greenmeadows Baptisms? Here…

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…

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…
