My dream shoot! 🙂

outfit inspired by some of the stuff at the  Marchesa Spring/Summer 2015 runways and crown inspired by Emily Soto. 🙂

I am so happy with my recent work.   It’s just so amazing when everything works out right : from the model to my makeup artist, even finding the right stuff at the thrift shop,  my friends who were there to help out,  the weather… ahhh!   I’m so lucky to be surrounded by happy, positive people.  I will be spending most of my free time shooting as there will be major changes in my life (drama alert!)  soon and I want to maximize my time left here.  Anyway, please check back soon coz I will be sharing some before and after shots from this set.  kisses!

 

A few Special people to thank:

Gretchel Palmes / Pinky for modelling for me! whew what a beauty!  she is my muse ❤

Vens Mazo for the spectacular makeup job – as what i keep telling him, he made my dream come to life that day! wow. just wow.

Box Abella for the lighting and pinky’s bf carlos for the support.  Also Miaochow the rabbit hihi.

Thank you to Red Palm Suites as well ❤

a long time ago

just sharing my favorite portraits to date.  this is alexa yao, modelling in one of the best shoots i’ve ever had.  i can still remember how thrilled i was to edit the whole set.   I’m loving the 50mm 1.8’s super sharp focus on the eyes and the creamy effect on her skin.

also, i can’b believe this made explore #1 on the day i uploaded it! (flickr picks the top 500 most interesting photos out of thousands uploaded that day).  very petty, but i’m super thrilled!
