Sneak Peek from photgrapher B

Gmorning Sunday!

Woke up with both my arms aching and my head swimming. Haven't really slept much despite the super tired feeling I had yesterday. Saturday was spent with photographer B, and the shoot did not go according to planned.

AND it was so much better than I have ever imagined!

The mom-Coco shoot rolled into a family photo op- with almost all of us soo ready for a wacky shot. imagine Tito E and Lola grandma posing for wacky. But oh they did! They loved him and the kids adored him..

Despite the heat and the utter dry summer feeling, i saw some really beautiful shots from his cam. The most unlikely locations actually were the best. Shoot was at the farm, with not much frills and sets. Just really fresh, fun and funky* LOL

Sneak peek from Bon Aserios, almost made me cry when I saw it. (I KNOW, drama right?) But well, it was moving.



Check out www.bonaserios.com for a dose of his fresh, fun, funky photos!

Going Over My Head AAGGGGAAAIN!

I had my nails painted bottle green. And for a moment, I think to myself how can it possibly go well with Filipiniana? LOL.

But that's where funky comes right?

Shoot is gonna be on Saturday. My lil one's outfits are more than ready. Her toys are packed. Her paint stuff is cleaned up. And I STILL wonder how it's gonna play out. Like the worrier in me, I try to tick off everything in my checklist. YES I HAVE a checklist for the shoot!

I've been telling my lil girl about photographer B. Even showed his picture from FB, just so she would be familiar and not hide in the dresser when he comes aroun. BUT knowing my lil one, she'd be perfectly alright when she sees a camera. I KNOW. She lives for that :)

Gawddd, last minute ideas! Last minute cramming! I seriously have to find myself a dress... and I seriously need to finalize all my ideas. (I'm forgetting again that this is NOT my moment! LOL) And see what photographer B thinks. It's always better to go with what the photographer thinks. I mean, his creative levels are waaaaay more than mine. lol

And so, on the other hand, I'm thinking of just bringing these outfits, these toys, these props, and WAIT how Saturday plays out. Maybe spontaneity is the key. Maybe funky and fun will just happen, and photographer B would be there to capture all of em.

Do I really need checklist everything... GROAN. GROAN...

Good Things Happen to those who Patiently Wait. :D

Last night was a bit better than my other black out nights. For the first time in many, I found myself not consciously waiting for the power to come back on.( I know, the power crisis in Mindanao has not yet been resolved. And until elections are rigged, this won't end.... sigh.) Me and lil one spent black out hours searching for good toys/props for the scenes-- in candle-lit, moonless evening.

And we took out her tea sets and grocery carts and we agreed on which bears to bring. OH I'm sure u get the idea now! :)
.
I told my little girl about photographer B's visit at the office earlier yesterday. And some ideas he has for the shoot, which he shared with me. AND YES! OMG! I am excited again! :) When I was at the farm last weekend, I found it impossible to hold a breakfast shoot, with all the flies this season, I am apprehensive, scared, whatever that summer flies will be included in the shooooot....

I know, it's supposed to be artsy and all. But I chose B to do our shoot cuz I love his funky and fun filled photos. Since I do not consider myself or my little ones celebrities, I feel a bit off to even propose a glamour shot. LOL. But I guess I'm just a sucker for life is beautiful, life is fun thingy. Which I think, what photoshoots are all about. To capture wacky moments, crazy times, happy faces..

And so my dear friends, on my quest for the best shoot outfits, dresses, scenes, make up and all.. I figured that I just couldn't get the farm girl out of me or my lil kiddos. Like, it's the best kind of scene that I want to be immortalized. But, for the life of me, Can u give me any ideas on how to glamorize it, even just a bit???

Today, I woke up with a smile on my face and my lil one in a real good morning mood. Weekend starts tomorrow! And we are ready for the little mermaid cupcakes! YES!

My first real life cake/cupcake order will be for lil Skye's 3rd birthday party on Sunday. (My lil one is invited to her swimming party too) And I feel that I could do this.

My affirmation for this week:

I AM CAPABLE. I CAN DO THIS.

Hurrah. What's your affirmation this week?
