Bundle of joy, bundle from Heaven...

2010-10-01T05:24:00.000-07:00

Babies are Angels that fly to the earth,
their wings disappear at the time of their birth
one look in their eyes and we're never the same
They're part of us now and that part has a name
That part is your heart and a bond that won't sever
our Babies are Angels, we love them forever.

When your little bundle from heaven arrives, things can be a little hectic for a while...

June's Bride

2010-06-29T15:58:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity to photograph the special event of their life - the wedding of Arlene and Ji-hoon. Tying the knots is such a special way two hearts should never be divided apart.

For better or for worse, I hope I took their special moment just the best as they are...

Tummy Time: Maternity Photo Matters

2009-10-07T11:44:00.000-07:00

It’s just wonderful for a couple to have a capture that truly shows what their life was like at the time their baby came to be a part of their family. The beauty of a mother anticipating the arrival of her child should be captured in a way that allows the miracle to speak for itself.

Catching the Leap of Joy

2009-08-26T14:10:00.000-07:00

A day in the photographer's life. In a broad, hot summer noon - there are variety of things we can practically do to make our moods snooze...

It's having fun to shoot!

A Night to Reminisce

2009-08-10T15:04:00.000-07:00

I had the chance to shoot an evening, outdoor wedding ceremony during this high-rise temperature, summer season at Goodyear.

Indeed, what a wonderful place to hold such special event. As well as taking shots of the outdoor site, with the view of the lake and surrounded by mountains.

4th of July Fireworks!

2009-07-13T10:25:00.000-07:00

Fireworks in the dark sky...

What an exciting way to catch and watch them bubbling out in the sky. Displaying energetic aerial shells and special effects.

It's just a fun time to capture the actions in digital photos. Taken last 4th of July, U.S. Independence Day celebration.

Gig @ the Concert

My short gig as a Media hit this small event.

Well, just another marketing, promotional shot of my photography biz, this time with the multi-awarded actress of the Philippines, Ara Mina.
She had a mini concert held here in the valley of the sun, Phoenix last July 3. Sweet.

Summer Cool Wedding

2009-07-02T11:16:00.000-07:00

The Vrlec, Brant and Joy beat the heat with a summer wedding.

I would say, they're just one of the coolest couples from the north valley in Scottsdale.

Miss Asia Arizona 2009 Pageant Night

2009-07-01T11:23:00.001-07:00

As a member of the Media Press group, it was a privilege to do a photo coverage of the event for the Miss Asia Arizona 2009 Pageant held last June 20, 2009 at the Moon Valley High in Phoenix, AZ. I was able to coordinate with the candidates and took photos in their candid, fashion styles - in and out the stage area.

In this photo, me and a glamour shot with Miss Asia Arizona 2008-2009 Nina Kasuga holding and displaying my bizcard (alparin) to show a subtle endorsement.

Well, just an added posè! Or is it a marketing idea?

View some of the online photos of the Miss Asia Arizona 2009 Pageant event.
