Karen got a such beautiful smile. You can tell from her smile that she has a kind and warm heart. I loved working with her. We talked so much and I loved her fashion collection, especially her shoes.
We did some business shots and then headed to the Red Rock for some fun shots. Check them out.
Her face is so flawless.
I love how the color just popped here.
and at of all the beautiful images, my favors are always the black and white ones.
“The Philippine Debut is a cultural tradition of the Filipino people.[1] It is a coming-of-age celebration for Philippine women that is somewhat reminiscent of the Spanish tradition of the "Quinceanera" celebration……On their 18th birthday, Philippine women throw a large party, complete with her own hand-picked debut court of 18 people. These 18 are 9 males and 9 females who the celebrant pairs off into partners. The celebrant's court usually wears a uniform formal outfit chosen by the celebrant similar to that of a wedding party, while the celebrant typically wears an extravagant ball gown……”
Well, my first debut party sure has blew me away. I would have never expected a birthday party as big as a wedding. It was very fun and entertaining, and the birthday girl Marllini’s family have showed me that they can party. I guess I’ll just let the photographs speak.
I hope I will get more debuts to shoot in the future, because it was just too much fun. What a great idea of celebrating your youth in this way! It will get all the young girls “wedding bugs” out of their systems. No need to rush into marriage just for the wedding.

This is my first semi-newborn photo shoot. Beautiful baby Gabriel was 3-5 weeks in these photos. I wanted to get some shoots while he was sleeping, it was not easy. We tried everything. Finally after rocking, eating, peeing and pooping, he was out. Wasn’t he a little angle? There’s something about a sleeping baby… so peaceful.
and now, wide-awake! How cute!! Ready to show some personality.
and a couple more of the in- between.
I love taking photos of babies hands and feet, because they just grow too fast, got to remember how tiny they once were.
The last photo was from my experiment with a cocoon. However Gabriel wouldn’t stay asleep in there, there’s the only non-squirmy shoot. He almost looked like he was sleeping, he was actually faking it, hehe… pretty good acting skill.
