CJ Turns One!

This event is very special for my husband and I because almost a year ago CJ's family was our very first client in photography. They got us to cover the dedication of CJ. According to Mommy Lara and Daddy Chris one of the reasons they chose us as their photographer was because we have the same name as CJ! We are very happy because once again they entrusted us to cover his 1st birthday!

Last January 26, 2007 they prepared a Winnie the Pooh themed party held at the Valle Verde 6 Clubhouse. CJ has grown fast! Last year, he was asleep in most of his shots but now it's delightful to see his different expressions. It was a challenge for everyone to keep CJ's attention when we were taking some shots but Mommy and Daddy were very patient. Actually they're one of the couples we have worked with who are very game to pose for the camera with beautiful smiles on their faces.We're glad that we got the chance to share this wonderful celebration with them.

Chloe Ysabelle

Chloe together with her family and friends had tons of fun during the celebration of her 1st birthday last January 19, 2008 at Bounce in Rosario, Pasig. It was our first time to attend a party held in that venue and it's unlike the other birthday celebrations we have covered. Everybody, including the adults, enjoyed playing with the inflatables and other toys in the play area.
It was good that Chloe was feeling well that day because according to her Mom, she was a bit sick. They just came from U.S. a week prior to the party and they were still adjusting to the weather here since it is winter season there. Chloe can already walk and run on her own so, she was really able to explore and have fun! Here are some shots during the party. Thanks to the Johnson family for making us part of this very special event! For more pictures click here.

Akira Louis

Akira Louis was baptized last January 13, 2008 at the Sacred Heart Church in Citihomes, Molino, Cavite. It was followed by a reception at the Circle Island Resort which is near the village. We relatively live near the area but it was our first time to go there. The resort is nice, very ideal for family gatherings because of the function halls that they have. Some guests of Akira were already dipping in the pool when we came. Akira is the first grandchild in the family that's why Mommy Eloisa said that he is a "star" for them. A hearty feast was partaken by family and friends after some picture taking with Akira. Here are some of the shots taken during the event. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Rock for making us part of this celebration! For more pictures click here.

Aiden

It was a rainy afternoon last January 12, 2008 when Aiden was baptized in the Church of the Holy Sacrifice in U.P. Diliman. There's a saying that when it rains blessings descend from the heavens and for sure Aiden and his family received a lot on that very special day! Charlie and I have attended several baptisms already and this is the first time that we were able to meet a very accommodating priest who even suggested to us which area to stay in the altar for us to get better shots : )

Aiden's family is based in Istanbul, Turkey and one of the reasons they came home was for Aiden to receive the sacrament of baptism. After the ceremony in the church an intimate gathering was held in HEAT restaurant in Edsa Shangrila Hotel with family and friends that Aiden's mom have not seen for quite a while. Here are some shots that we took. Thanks to Aiden and the family for allowing us to become part of your celebration. Click here for more pictures.

Rain

The 1st birthday celebration of An Rigelle Almazan or Rain was held last January 5, 2008 at the poolside of Cypress Point Tower, Bonifacio Ridge, Global City. The weather was just right that afternoon, it was not that hot with a little breeze in the air just precise for the party. Rain wore a pretty pink long gown like a debutant and she wore it without any fuss during the entire celebration! There was a glitter tattoo artist (which was popular among the kids) magic show, games and different food carts during the party. Here are some pictures that we took. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Almazan for making us part of this wonderful celebration in their family. Click here for more pictures.
