    Turning 10

    Back in January I received a call from Gia’s Mom. She was celebrating her 10th birthday and Gie was asking if I’d be willing to take pictures at the Director’s Club in SM Seaside City. I hesitated because I didn’t know you can take pictures inside the cinema but after a little back and forth, we decided I’ll be there.

    Gia

    Would you believe that this little lady just a baby when I first met here? That’s right. I first met Gia when she was baptised back in 2016.

    This bunch are regulars. We see each other multiple times a year. I could not have been any more lucky they trust me more than I trust myself. Maia, the lady holding the powder asked for smiling candid photos. This was one of our attempts. By the way, I took pictures when she got married many years ago too.

    Inside the cinema was dark and there was nothing for the flash to bounce on. I think the iPhone took better pictures but anyway, it’s not always about the perfect technical aspects of a picture. Most of the time it’s about preserving a feeling in a moment that might never happen again. I’ve got Gie, Dave, JV & Gia to thank for allowing me to do just that every time we meet for pictures.

    I casually remembered being the principal sponsors for these two back in 2023. And then I took back what I said, because I didn’t bring pinaskuhan for the kinugos. Hahaha.

    Thank You Canonizados

    There are no words to express how grateful I am that you trust me with all of these memories you’ve made throughout the years.

  • A Little Weekend Getaway

    A Little Weekend Getaway

    Hello again. I thought I could get by without running a blog. Turns out, I can’t. Luckily, WordPress looked like something I could probably keep so here I am.

    When the years pile up, I hope I’d get the chance to restore old posts from the old blog until then, I’ll keep writing.

    Doc, Di & RJ

    I first shot this trio towards the end of 2020. I remember eating lechon right after that shoot in December.

    I trailed their car when I first came here back in 2023 and was happy I still figured my way despite it being hidden in the middle of the mountains. This time, I brought Kuya & Coxon with me. I’ll reserve some of those pictures for later.

    Sunset

    We almost didn’t make it for sunset but I’m glad we still caught a few minutes of the marvelous early evening light.

    I was initially planning to post the pictures that happened after these few photos. It’s looking like that is going to wait a little bit after this is done and I’ve figured my way into this new blog site.

    Dear Di, I’m not judging you 😀 Hahahaha. But if I have to, I’d say wonderful things. You know?

    And I’m just going to end this here. With the silhouette of the of the mountains adding a little bit of enchantment to that weekend that myself and the kids had. How can we ever thank you Doc, Di & Rj. Until the next!
