Family {The Diazes}

This is the nuclear version of the shoot I did for a former schoomate of mine, Jella, and her family with the in-laws back in December. Today was just the three of them plus the little guy inside her, and instead of going to a park, we chose to stay at home instead. Bella is such a cutie and I am always amazed at her vocabulary each time I see her. Far from shy, she can make you smile with her antics and the way she insists on wearing her new rubber shoes everywhere.

They are expecting another addition to the family and I can't help but be excited for them. Who wouldn't? I bet that the little guy would be the male version of Bella, all smiles with a mop of curly hair and a cute grin. Enjoyed this family shoot and it was definitely a tad too short to capture  just how adorable this family is.

Couples {Jay-R+Adai}

A month ago, I tagged along with Glenn, another photographer friend of mine (see his works here) for couple shoot set in one of the resorts here. It was my first time meeting Jay-R and Adai and immediately I felt at ease. Both were down to earth, with ready smiles, and they were just so comfortable and  sweet with each other that you can't help but believe that what you're seeing is pure and true love. To last that many years, go through all sorts of things together, both good and bad, and still look and smile at each other that way, it takes an amazing kind of love. And these two have found that.

Jay-R and Adai were extremely game and  fun and obviously still in love after so many years of being together. Fun fact: they already have a house together, which really impressed me. I've always liked the idea of having everything prepared for life as a married couple before you get married and it looks like they think the same way.

The shoot was fun, there were a couple of concepts planned that took us all over the resort but both didn't seem to tire and were ready to try all sorts of poses and outfits. It was a good thing that the weather was good and the location was equally as gorgeous. With a fun couple and a great location, you get the perfect mix for a good couple shoot.
