Tell us a bit about your photography business

My photography started 10 years ago in Manila, Philippines. I am Vancouver-born but was raised by my wonderful grandparents in Manila. I did a lot of travel and lifestyle photography when I first started and my work was featured in many publications then. Later on, I worked at a baby studio and did many baby and family portraits. But I was getting many inquiries for non-studio, on-location portraits as well as special events such as birthday parties, christenings and weddings so I eventually left the studio a few years later to pursue my own photography business. It has been pretty wonderful and I am so thankful to be doing something that I love everyday while also being able to give my clients memorable photographs of them with their most loved ones — something that will truly grow in value that they can cherish for many years to come.

What should clients expect, working with you?

My clients can expect to have a truly enjoyable time in front of my camera. I have been described as being very patient with little kids and also being very professional. My personal experience being both a mother and a photographer with years of experience with children and families have helped me anticipate moments before they unfold.

I know how energetic kids can be, and I also know that they have the shortest attention spans so there is no pressure for them to be in their best behaviour I will help arrange/pose my clients while at the same time keep an eye as moments happen naturally so I am able to capture those precious candid moments too
