Manila Newborn Photographer: Four Handsome Brothers

And then there were four!!! 

I was so excited to hear that their mom was expecting the 4th addition to this gorgeous brood of brothers. This newborn shoot was a little more complicated than others since I had a toddler to pose as well on top of the little one, good thing the two big brothers were awesome as usual and I was able to capture this priceless shot of them :)

A touch of Filipino tradition: Newborn Shoot

I really try to be as simple and authentic with my newborn photo shoots. I keep colors as real as possible (in my opinion, babies skin tones should be respected and not color treated) - the most would be a pretty black and white for me - that's it. I also like to keep my setups clean and timeless. I'm not into trendy photos/setups for newborn shoots as my style is really a modern classic - I aim to have my photos withstand the test of time so that 30 years from now, they still show the delicacy and adorableness of the child. 

For this shoot, I wanted to add a Filipino touch - using our native "balut" or duck egg basket but set against a simple backdrop :)

A Suuper Newborn Shoot!

This little superhero's Dad is an avid comics collector so we decided to incorporate it into his newborn shoot. Manu was a little chomper for our sessions and drank a whole lotta milk to super charge his powers ;)

Newborn Shoot: Baby in "Duyan-land"

I've been wanting to do this for awhile now and finally had this prop made 

and the perfect newborn to use it on :)

Please note that the utmost safety and professional photographer techniques were used to achieve this photograph. Safety is always #1.

Love at first sight with little G (10 days new)

I've been shooting this little man's Big Brother for the past 2 years and when mommy came for her pregnancy shoot, I couldn't wait to meet the new addition. He turned out to be just as gorgeous and sweet as his big brother. We got to play and do so many setups with him as he slept peacefully along for the ride :)

i-Mag Magazine Cover and Feature!

Incredibly thrilled and honored to land i-Mag's cover and 8 pages worth of a feature his July 2012!  I was interviewed last month by EIC Neil Garcia and Coco Saito who came to the studio for a visit. We had a great time sharing stories and anecdotes together and didn't expect this at all. In the interview/article I discuss newborn photography and child photography with a focus on safety and tips.

Newborn Photography Philippines Asia: The great outdoors newborn shoot

I always try to find the magic in a location and for this one, it happened to me a sweet potato patch. This little girl was a great model and it only took me two minutes to get this shot setup and done. Can you say priceless? I love it when parents trust me enough with the safety of their babies - because that is always #1 for me and this shot was taken with that in mind.

Newborn Photography Manila: Little Man

This little guy was such a great sleeper and poser, had a wonderful time with him and his parents.

Newborn love at it's best.

Newborn Photographer Manila: Zhen is the word of the day

This newborn lived up to her name in every way. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect shoot. She slept right through and was just such a great poser!

Newborn photography at it's best.

Newborn baby love at first sight :)

Newborn Photography Philippines Manila: Band of Brothers

Loving this shoot and the gorgeous family. 

A Band of Brothers indeed. They were so well behaved and loving towards their new addition. These little guys are going to break some serious hearts someday.

This mother and son photo really brought out so much emotion as well in its tenderness.
