Sexy at Sixty

Aaaaaaaahhhh. I never realized that I have skipped a month of posting. I have been so busy with gaming that I never got to put an effort on writing a blog post. I am so sorrrrrrrry! I have actually met friends online and we instantly vibed. Like vibed vibed. We even did video calls! ♥ I don't know why but it feels like I've known them like forever. Haha! So they kept me busy most of the time because gaming de-stresses me more than you can imagine and never noticed that I haven't kept track of the time.

She Came, She Conquered

And tadaaa! Here I am again! And this time I brought two other people with me: my husband, Mark, and my muse, Cecille. We travelled around early afternoon and arrived at the area probably around 2. It was nice to be back here again. It gives you peace. We climbed hills and crossed waters just to get there (and it was my second time to boot so I get to enjoy the scenery all over again!). I always want to bring Mark to new places, and this was one of them! The first time, he wasn't able to join us since he had work that night and he hadn't got any other time to rest. And one Saturday, finally, and all in God's timing, it was his day off, so the wife dragged him along.

Belle âme

Ever since I posted a status of me doing a free wedding shoot (check here), my inbox has been bombarded with messages. It's quite funny thinking about it, really. I thank all the people who shared that post and yes, it is 100% true (most of the questions I received was if it was legit). I am actually doing a free wedding shoot and all you have to do is just feed me. If you are one of those who are interested, PLEASE do not hesitate to beep my page up. I already provided the link above. Oh, if you know someone who's about to get hitched or you yourself is going to, maybe you'd get lucky.

Baby Sophie's 1st Birthday

I drove all the way to Consolacion to meet this certain cutie and surely, I wasn't disappointed. Babies are balls of pure innocence. Baby Sophie was the epitome of it. She was my first toddler muse. ♥ I always wanted to try shooting with a toddler or a baby and Baby Sophie gave me that chance.

Freedom

This was the first time in a long time that I have had a decent photography project that I've been wanting to try on. Since there were only a few places with decent neon lights in them, we had to pick a place where we can freely take shots and not be stared at by people. So I browsed the internet for places with lights on Google images and Cafe Racer was one of the results. And I thought to myself, Hey. I have never been here. Might as well hit two birds with one stone. Cafe Racer it was! So my friends and I all went to North Reclemation and spent the night away drinking beer, chatting non-stop, and eating pizza.

With You & Only You – Pre-Wedding Photo Session

First of all, I would like to apologize for not uploading our third photo session before the wedding. I was so busy since we only had days left before the big day. Anyway, for the third and final one, we originally wanted the shoot to be done in Camp Marina, but it was raining cats and dogs. Plan A became a spontaneous Plan B. The first shoot was done in Coffee Prince in Osmeña, so we took our time because the rain wasn't planning on letting up. After some bungisngis (google it up) smiles here and there, we looked outside and the rain stopped. We decided and hurriedly went to Camp Marina.

It Is Real – Pre-Wedding Photo Session

Mark and I have been very busy these past few weeks. Our days are full packed with schedules and meet ups. It's the final hustle and bustle, guys. Weeks will become days and days will become hours. That's how time works. I still remember how Mark proposed (who would ever forget his proposal?) like it was yesterday. Everything's ready, and truly, this is the penultimate. The nervousness we felt before is now totally gone as we came to a point and realized that we couldn't imagine a world without each other. This is where it starts.

You Are My View – Pre-Wedding Photo Session

Since the big day is fast approaching and February's the month of love, here are some shots from our shoot with Jessica. I have chosen just a few for this blog post just because. Jess has her share of sharpness and color boost with the photos, and based on what I see, I know she had a lot of fun taking and editing these. ♥ Though I'm a fan of soft-colored ones, but as photographers, we differ with our arts and styles. Thank you, Jess, for the opportunity (sorry for always laughing during takes).

Back To Basics

Happy Fiesta, Pungtod, Nueva Caceres! It was St. Joseph's feast day, and we decided to pay my little province a visit. ♥ When we arrived, food welcomed us with open arms (because we arrived around 1:00 p.m., and we haven't eaten our lunch yet so we were famished). We hurriedly went to the table and ate.

Visit

I'm going to make this post as short as possible since laziness is kicking in (don't judge me; I wanna lie down). Last Saturday, two of my friends came to visit and made that day fun and memorable. From 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., not a minute of that Saturday was dull. Playing Dead Space (I heard Juan squeal for the very first time); Tekken; Never Have I Ever; I Can, You Can't—man, it's like I wished that day could last a bit longer. Despite the delay of our fast food order (which was supposed to be our lunch now turned into dinner), that day was full of wonderful stories (and even a bit of truth—which by the way, regretted something :x). Anyway, it felt so good to be able to use my camera again (oh, that reminds me. I have to get my baby cleaned one of these days). It's been two months since my last shoot, which happens to be last year! Gasp! I just realized now that this is my first shoot for 2016. Hoorah!

In Threes

The twentieth of December was a day well spent. This was my last shoot for the year 2015, and it was a good year-ender. It was a busy day full of experience and random conversations. When a friend of mine from Manila decided to visit Cebu and wanted a fun shoot, I went for my best friend—Kim—and asked her to be the model.

Zeon The Guinea Pig

Zeon, my guinea pig, is taking over my Instagram account ( or maybe even worse, he's slowly taking over the world). Yikes! This sinister cavy of mine has planned every move of world abomination ever since. Zeon is a pure Peruvian guinea pig who likes cucumber and chayote. The way he popcorns is beyond adorable. He's like a walking wig or floor mop. My friends, at first, mistook him as a Shih Tzu puppy. There will never come a day that he wouldn't be able to make me smile. The way he chortles and purrs is heaven to my ears. Beyond his big physique lies a big coward. He loves hiding, short naps and munchies. And the way he holds you for comfort and assurance... Oh, don't let me get started on that.

Love Me or Hate Me

I honestly didn't know what to give this post as a title. We opt for a geisha-themed shoot but we were short of props and not to mention, no kimono in sight. The shoot was done at my house's living room. I was surprised to see my living room turned into a beautiful studio, well, all thanks to my co-photographer's studio light.  It was my first studio/house (watchamacallit) shoot, and well, it had me thinking to have one of my own. Maybe someday.

Aura

This is a late post. To be more exact, a month late. I wasn't busy or anything like that but just didn't have the time to edit the photos and blog about it. I don't know why but it must be the heat or the rain or both. Haha. Enough about my senseless reasoning. I had fun taking photos of Aura, a woman who was both physically and emotionally beautiful. She was confident, to say the least and oh-so-adventurous. She can climb mountains fast and cross bamboo bridges without breaking a sweat. Her silly jokes crack you up and the way she handles everything, it's admirable. Although we had been together for like a day and a night, it was enough to know what she's like, towards her family, her friends and her loved ones.

Boho

One of the many perks why I love my hobby is that it is, itself, an adventure! On one summer day, Dane, Camille and I set off to visit an abandoned golf park. When we got there, instead of expansion of greenery, we were welcomed by fields of  brown instead. We weren't surprised at the sight of that. It IS summer. Photography has given me so much freedom since I first laid my hands on a DSLR. It keeps my creativity pumping and so so alive.

Sister Hour

I haven't seen sisters this close before. I have a brother, so I really don't know how it feels like to have a sister. But I know it's great. Just from seeing these two, it's clear that having a sister rocks. Borrowing makeup? Answered. Clothes? Check. Some personal love advice? Covered. Everything, from here on out, as a female, we all need that kind of sister. Be it blood-related or not, being or having a sister is one of the best occupations in the world.

Cos-Shoot: Mikasa Ackerman

My first shoot ( and cos shoot, ever) of the year! You know how I'm a fan of anime and its vast world, and a few weeks back, I was given the opportunity to shoot one of my favorite badass characters: Mikasa Ackerman from Shingeki No Kyojin.

Indulgence

We were greeted with rain showers so early in the morning and it was just the day after Mac and I celebrated our first anniversary together ( Hoorah to the two of us!). We ( Mac, Starr, Guada and I) rode all the way to BTC to get ourselves some Jafar's shawarma rice and gobbled away. You guys should check them out! Their food's really delicious! We battled against flood after flood and I feared for my car's spark plug! Haha. It was tough but we made it all in one piece. Gemms ( my car's name) did his best and we managed somehow. Another hoorah!

Friendship Shots

After the collaboration that Kim and I had for our outfit shoot, we took a very slight turn from being prim and proper to goofing around and taking snapshots of our friendship. Mac was kind enough to take photos of me and my silly friends as we struggled to keep up what's left of our goofiness and also of our hunger!

Playing With Colors

You must be thinking " Wow. What an interesting title" but sorry to break it to you but it is the other way around. Dan-dan-dan! I just gave this blog post the title "Playing With Colors" when me and my inexperienced editing skills, are far far off from the radar. So I've just tweaked the curves randomly until I was satisfied with the outcome. So tadaaa! What do you think?
