Thanks so much for dropping by. In here, you’ll find updates on the latest shoots, projects and a peek on the journey through love, life, mommyhood & pursuing something I’m really passionate about.
I don’t write a lot. Sometimes, i think I create images because I’m just not really good with words. But I try. & Hopefully this will allow me to give back to the wonderful online world + wonderful people that has taught me and inspired me so much to find my passion and just freakin’ Go For it.
I believe in the beauty of life, people and their stories. This is what drives me. This is what keeps me passionate.
I hope you find something you like, let me know you’ve been around!

You might have seen her from a previous shoot last year. We just had to do it again.
Black, Lace, Headbands. This girl’s got taste! I absolutely love the accessories she brought in that we got to work with. I think it really showed off her style & I absolutely love it when girls stay true to who they are and are not afraid to rock it. & Rock it, she did. Oh, and her hair! It’s love love love.
Here’s both our fave shot from the set. She’s picking up the photos tomorrow and I’m super excited for her to see it. They are fabulous!!
Thank you so much Steph for the chance to do a shoot with you again. I had an amazing time!
& Special thanks to Eren from Glam Artistry for the fabulous make up work. She’s just rockin’ it out at every shoot!

In my attempt to blog regularly and keep you guys updated with things, I thought I’d share with you a few things that has inspired me during the week. Hopefully, this will come in as a regular blog post. *Crosses fingers*
One thing I love about photography and the business is the continuous learning. Today, I am joining CreativeLive with their online course with Sandy Puc on Bellies&Babies. I’m learning a lot and I love her stories. She’s been a photographer for 25 years and it was nice to know how she began her journey in chasing and working hard for her dream. Sometimes, it’s crazy to think that it is even possible to achieve a dream, even as a mom, with kids around and having to work a regular job. But I believe that hard work pays off and her story is just one that makes me want to work harder and reach more for my dream. =) Oh and I love love the quotes Sandy has shared & If you know me enough, I am a super sucker for quotes. Here are a couple of faves:
“What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.”
“If I have seen further, It is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
If you’re not doing anything today, the course is still up live on www.creativelive.com/live so do check it out! =)
A blog post is not complete without a photo, since we are in the spirit of baby photography, here is one of my fave from when Jaeden’s only a few weeks old! Look at those tiny fingers…
& I end with a video I came across facebook the other day: 29 ways to stay Creative. Enjoy!

It feels uberly awesome to not have to be at work on a Monday!! [ Best Monday Ever!! ] It’s supposedly family day but hubby has to work so, I guess it’s me and the bois today.
The littlest boy has turned 17 months, and OMG! he’s turning out to be the most hyper, active boy ever! Not to mention that black eye I got from him banging his head on my eye last week. I’m just happy that the eye has returned to normal looking as of yesterday! Otherwise, we get the craziest time laughing at all these little things that he is learning to do on his own. He likes to do a lot of things that he sees from Ecko. Like his basketball tricks, crazy dance moves, sitting on the couch and playing his ipod. Yeah, he pretty much imitates Ecko’s every move. Jaeden has also insisted on eating on his own. He won’t eat unless he is given his spoon. & As expected, his first word is “Ball.” . He still gets a little shy with people he’s meeting for the first time, but he loves loves and is super excited to go out. As soon as he sees his stroller, he’s climbing in there and getting ready to go out!
So, yeah. Here is Jeaden at 17 mos. old. They grow up super fast, don’t they?
I’m still not sure how we’ll be spending the day but I think we’ll def’ get the bois’ haircut done when the hubby comes home. Happy Family Day!
