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.

Two little good girls, watchful & wise

Clever little hands,

and big, kind eyes

 

Looking for signs that the world is good,

Comfort themselves as good folk should.

Me i spend hours editing my photos to look the way i want them to. lol.  It’s what i always say : my enjoyment on photoshoots goes like this :

10% plannning

30% preparation on the day (makeup, dressing up, set up)

30% actual shoot

30% editing
