Jessica Yang Photoshoot

I would like to share with you all, with much excitement and pride, the final photos from our shoot with Jessica Yang a few months back. I am beyond lucky to have been given the opportunity to work with this beauty. She's one of the most in-demand models these days and I can't say I'm surprised because she's really talented and great at what she does, a true professional indeed!

It was also my first time to work with photographer, Melson Bolongaita and I must say, his work is just divine! He was part of the reality show, Mega Fashion Crew and his work has been published on magazines, newpapers, etc. I am pretty sure that with his talent, we'll be seeing more of his work in the future.

Apart from working with a top model and a talented fashion photographer, I guess what really made this whole experience even more fun and enriching was being able to work with my two friends-slash-business partners-slash-fashion stylists, Iris and Tin. This was our first fashion project as a group and we're all pretty contented with the turnout. Even if we all decided that we could do so much better in the future, this shoot being our first, we're probably allowed to give each other a pat on the back. ;)

Here are the final photos:

And now, for my personal favorite! It's a beauty shot, of course! :)

Hello blogosphere! It has been quite awhile since my last post! Sorry if I haven't been able to update lately. Now that I'm back, I would like to share with you the final photos from our shoot with the Misa sisters last month. My last post was actually behind the scenes working with them and now, I'd would like all of you to see the final ones! :) 


The inspiration and peg for the entire shoot were the fabulous Olsen twins! Here are the photos in black and white:

Here are the colored photos:

It was really such a delight working with these two! They're both very sweet, accommodating and down to earth. Working with them also made me remember how much I have always wanted a sister of my own, to share clothes and exchange cheesy girly stories with! Haha! But God granted me with a younger brother and I love him and I am still thankful for him nonetheless!
