boudoir with sharon and juvy

These two lovely ladies posed for me for the second time.. first time was during the camping, second time.. now doing a boudoir.. As I have done this myself during my wedding photoshoot.. I feel like boudoir photography brings the essence of women's beauty and sensuality.. This is just a teaser of what I did.. will post more upon approval of my two models. Thanks Sharon and Juvy!

By the way, special thanks to Sharon's hubby, Jing, for letting us shoot in their beautiful abode, and her daughter Ellie - for the make up! She is really fantastic!

camping

Oh yes! Finally after 8 years.. camping again! First time in USA but definitely not the last. The good thing though is that together with the camping.. we did some photoshooting! Here are some of my favorites.

Siba on a hot summer day

I have been fortunate enough to have friends willing to pose for me to feed my hunger for photos. So for the second time, I asked my friend Siba to pose for me on a hot summer day at the Millennium Park. She came with just her nice summer outfit and just practically asked her to pose amidst the crowd downtown.. we were able to steal some shots too by the lake.. to choose the best here was a tough one coz I could practically fill this blog with all the pictures I took of her. But for the purpose of blogging, I am sharing some :)

yeah we bothered the sailors too! haha

and my ultimate faves!

Yeah siba is so herself on these two! Thanks lady!

Steven and Athena

My friend Eugene introduced me to Steven, and I have met both Steven and Athena during their wedding rehearsal in Mundelein on May 29th. On their wedding day, the couple were very cool and relaxed and fun to work with. They were natural in camera and they were just beautiful. I had an easy time taking these pictures.

As I am still in the process of developing their wedding shots, I am also eager to share few of the pictures that simply caught my attention.. there are hundreds of them but these are those that I just cannot wait to share.

PS: Special thanks to Eugene Mijares and of course two the lovely couple - Steven and Athena Ablang.

Jeremi's first birthday

Jeremi is my nephew and my god son. I call him my little man but he goes by a lot of names. My father-in-law calls him bączek. My husband calls him kurczaki (little chick). But he is just simply adorable. His pacifier is a small sausage! Wow! Anyway, on May 8th, we celebrated his first birthday. My sister-in-law and I had a busy day and my brother-in-law who prepared most of the food, of course was exhausted.

Anyway, here are the pictures I took during the party.

Yummy cake!
