I am also a Boutique Photographer. I work with you to create artwork to hang in your home that capture how beautiful your family is, and celebrate the different seasons in your life.
It is probably the Filipino in me, but I love taking care of people. I 'll guide you through a personalized consultation where we discuss outfit selection, styling and art placement on the walls of your home, guiding you during the entire photo session, and ending with an ordering appointment where I help you select the best images. I'll make your Boutique Photography experience flawlessly easy from the initial consultation to delivering that unique artwork for your home.
Imagine custom wall portraits that capture the love you have for your children or freeze a special moment for your family. I am very passionate about how custom artwork. These pieces of art remind you how beautiful your family is, and show your kids that they are seen and loved by you.
Being a mom is an honor and a tough challenge. There are times you look at your children, and their faces make you smile. There are other times, you look at your kids, and they just test your patience! I get it because I am a mom too.
I have a 17 year old son and he is in high school. In a year or so, he will be going off to college. As he goes into the world, I pray I did my parenting job well. I really hope I raised a nice guy, and not a jerk! When he looks back at his childhood and sees the family photos in our home, I want him to realize that his Papa and Mama tried their very best to be great parents.
I bring my mom experience into my photography work. I totally understand that each child is different and each age brings its own rewards and challenges. Your kid might be under 5 and doesn't behave all the time. Or you have a teenager who isn't interested in pictures at all.
