Storklings and Nestings





For The Stork Studio, April was a month of huggable happy babies and hot moms-to-be. I really love taking photos of babies because it helps me wind down after a hectic week. Stan and I usually have a "feeling" when we have our "perfect shot" and we don't stop shooting until we get one. These range from stolen moments to all the way down to fresh tears or tiny hands clasping a mom's finger or a wet kiss. When people ask us how we do it, I usually say - we get lucky (and we have quick reflexes). It's quite difficult especially since kids are really unpredictable and you really have to be good at motivating them (which isn't always 100% effective) but so far, we have indeed, been blessed :) With our maternity shoots, I enjoy them particularly because we get to experiment with lighting and push our creativity. Adults are also easier to talk to of course. In May, its our first anniversary, and I can't believe how far we've come...from a dream of mine back in 2001 to our first shoot in 2005 with Bacchus and Ninay's little Jacobo to more than 100 clients later and a partnership with several magazines, we are so lucky. There are times that I get overwhelmed with the enormity of the blessings and support from our friends and family. Living this dream is pretty amazing, and I can't wait to see what's next. May is going to be a celebratory month for us as we reach our first birthday (expect some surprises and great deals). Here are some of my favorite shots from this month :)

Birth Announcements


For newborn shoots, we offer Personalized Birth Announcements of your little one for you to email and/or send out to family and friends to celebrate this special time.



Newborns



Photographing newborns is such a magical moment for us. Personally, these little ones are my favorite subjects. Its so important to have the right atmosphere and lighting technique when we shoot these precious little bundles. Stan and I take a lot of care with them and really make an effort to get the best shots. 


Georgia and Nadia (maternity)



One of our favorite moms (Georgia) and little girls (Nadia) are expecting a new addition to their family! We are thrilled to be able to capture this special moment with them.

WorkingMom Editorial March 09


We've been doing some of the editorial photos for WorkingMom this year, decided to post a few samples. This month, we got featured in a full page article on pregnancy photos right alongside the country's best. Stan and I love doing maternity shots because we can really push our creativity and lighting. Ofcourse it also helps when the mom wants artsy shots. Yes, we actually have done the Vanity Fair - Demi Moore shot for a client. Super fun =)
