Shot this fun maternity session yesterday in one of my favorite places near Dumaguete. It was also my first time to meet expectant mommy Sheena and her hubby Lando but we hit it off like we've known each other for years. I love couples who are just so cool with everything. It wasn't surprising that shooting them turned out to be quite a hoot with lots of laughs as we walked from one end of the garden to another.

“Because the birdsong might be pretty,
But it's not for you they sing,
And if you think my winter is too cold,
You don't deserve my spring.”
― Erin Hanson
I love walking out of my apartment and seeing all the nice yards that the neighbors have. There's one house right across the street with these lovely purple flowers growing by the side of the road so this morning I went out and started picking. I usually am no fan of giving girls flowers especially those that cost you P300 to P600 for a bunch...unless the girl loves to take photos of flowers then by all means...and besides, it's the wild ones that grow through the cracks on the street or the side of the road that look so much more beautiful to me. But seeing a few photos of flowers styled perfectly and shot by a photographer that I follow on IG inspired me to go out and take a second look at these beauties. Must be the cheapskate in me thinking all those years, but today I didn't have any regrets taking photos of the three blooms I picked. It took me so long until I began to appreciate flowers, their dainty prettiness, the persistence to grow anywhere and everywhere,, how they can add light and color to any room. Flowers are truly amazing things.
Happy Sunday everyone!
“The time has come
The walrus said
To talk of many things:
Of shoes- and ships-
And sealing wax-
Of cabbages and kings-
And why the sae is boiling hot-
And whether pigs have wings.”

Oh, the pretty little things! Ra
fi turned 1 in this gorgeous, Alice-in-Wonderland themed party styled by Engrande Events and boy, everyone got treated to an eyeful of whimsy, color, and the most creative edible cakes and cupcakes that were so cute, you almost didn't want to eat them!
The details for this birthday were just too adorable for words. There's the wonderful tiered cake with the Chesire Cat grinning mischievously from the bottom, cute fondant cup cakes, literally cakes in teacups with little colorful mushrooms, the Caterpillar, and the Mad Hatter's Hat on top courtesy of cake artist extraordinaire Isabelle Pinili, and equally adorable cupcakes with the most delicious icing made by Paula Celdran Montenegro. All these were set against the backdrop of colorful oversized flowers, button mushrooms and a life-sized cut-out of the White Rabbit. Let's not forget the intricate golden mirror hung against the hedge that surely reminded everyone of Through the Looking Glass.
