Mya | Baby Session | 10 weeks

Ahhh! Look at that adorable smile! She’s such a cutie! Mya was 10 weeks when I photographed her. This was the first time I saw her since she was in her momma’s belly when I photographed Hannah’s maternity! Mya definitely knows how to be a diva. I’m so glad to have worked with Hannah for her maternity portraits and Mya for her baby portraits.:)

Enjoy!

Hong Kong | Week 1 | The Peak

I know it’s not Day 3, 4 and so forth. This is actually better:). Highlights of the week. Actually, after Day 3 we would always get home past midnight and since there’s a lot of “hustle and bustle” in Hong Kong I get so wiped out by the time we get home. And then the next day we’d have to wake up early so we don’t waste a day! Yep! Story of my life. But I actually didn’t mind the fast pace environment. It was definitely a good change of pace. Now I’m back and my time is a lil’ messed up. I’m going to try and roll out the rest of the photos from Hong Kong this week before I leave again next week. Anyway, enjoy my “adventures”.;).

This was the view from the Peak. You know when they say “the grass is greener on the other side”? Yeah well according to this picture, the grass is greener on this side. Haha! Yes, lame. I had to insert that somewhere! Lol. This was near sunset so that’s why you can see how it’s golden in the background.

Hong Kong | Day 2

Day 2 of Hong Kong! I’ve adjusted to Hong Kong time and I’m loving every second of it. We picked up Lucas at the airport. He was late for the luggage check-in so he had to leave his bag at the airport back home and have his brother bring it today. So we’re going back to the airport for the 3rd time! haha. I went to the Hong Kong Apple store at IFC – they have 2 floors!!! Take a look at my Instagram pic. Anyway here are the highlights of my day:

Hong Kong | Day 1

I didn’t take as much photos – they’re mostly on my Instagram. But here’s a brief summary of my first day in Hong Kong! It’s 9pm local time here and I’m sleepy! 15 hour plane ride, direct flight, can be tiring. I can’t fall asleep on the plane.

Out of Studio | Hong Kong | Nov 28 – Dec17

Fave Fridays | Instagram

I know I missed last week’s Fave Fridays post but I had a really good reason! I was busy running around preparing for my sister’s surprise 18th birthday! Yeah. It was a last minute decision to have one for her and we only had one month to prepare for it. If you know Filipino culture, this is called the “debut”. It was a successful event! I wish I had taken some photos but I was also busy running around trying to keep everything scheduled. Oh and the candy bar, it was devoured. I was just going to get one red velvet mini cupcake made by Rona of So Into Cupcakes and there was nada. zip. zero. Anyway, the goal was to get my sister to cryhappy tears. Mission accomplished. Oh and the excuse to get her to the hall?

“Hey, Monica do you want to do a photo shoot with you and two of your close friends? You can borrow some of my dresses. Just meet me at the hall – I’m already shooting an event there”

It totally worked. She fell for it. The dress? I bought it for her – because I didn’t have the perfect dress in my closet fit for the event for the birthday girl. Now I can borrow it from her. Hehe. What? That’s what sisters are for, right? Haha

Anyway, this Fave Fridays (like the title on the left? I thought it needed its own fancy title)post is dedicated to my favourite iPhone app that I use on a daily basis. INSTAGRAM. Equipped with camera, photo filters, tilt-shift, and social sharing. I love that I can take a photo then quickly add a filter and tilt-shift effect and quickly share to instagram, twitter, tumblr, facebook, and flickr. The number of effects is just right. Not too many and not too little. iPhoneography at it’s best. As Chase Jarvis would say, “The best camera is the one that’s with you”.:)

This week I also celebrated my birthday! Yay! I spent it at Auberge du Pommier with a few of my close friends. French food at its best. It was probably the best lobster I’ve had and coconut rice too! (Homard PochĂ© au Beurre Doux). Oh yes, back to the topic of this post. I took a few photos from that night. Oh and the cute Louis Vuitton inspired cake? Lucas surprise me with that.:)Of course, with the help of Kristine. You can view my instagram photos here. If you would like to follow my instagram my username is reeese.

Enjoy && have a great weekend!:)

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving to the US!
