Melia

I feel a little guilt about not visiting too much on my own blogger page. I guess the facebook trend has taken much more of my time. I even seldom check my yahoo mails...really. Anyways, I'm back to keep up here. So here I post some of Melia's photos that I took some time ago. Let me tell you a little story about her. Melia is a special child. She was born with cerebral palsy and thus it affects her motor skills. Her stance, walk is not what a normal 12 year old does. But other than that, she's mentally sharp. Sweet, thoughtful and smart girl. A few months ago her mom Debbie thought of raising a fund for her surgery(PERCS) a kind of surgery that would help Melia walk tall and be able to live a normal life that she deserves. Although we have strong faith that in Jehovah's kingdom that will soon end all imperfections and troubles on earth, Melia's parents, John and Debbie thought that this surgery will make a big difference in their daughter's life. She'd do more in the ministry, and she's not gonna be dependent on strollers anymore. Because if this old system goes on, Melia needs to be independent and live the life that she deserved. In just a few months after, they were able to reach the goal fund for the surgery, it was truly a "miracle" so to speak, on how Jehovah's hand works. Friends, family and even strangers contributed for the cause. And the original date planned for the surgery which is December has now moved to June! So we are all anticipating greatly for this and excited to see Melia walk tall very soon! I was asked to do a photoshoot for her by her parents. And here are some of the pictures of Melia that I took.

Chey and Mike

This is my first official wedding coverage. Of course, I'm nervous and excited. I am quite sad because the couple doesn't want to do the outdoor photoshoot before the wedding because their idea of "not seeing the bride" before the wedding is what they want. We can't do after the ceremony too because it's gonna be dark (the wedding starts at 6pm)....So, in short, I cannot fully do the ideas and creativity in my mind. But I just did all my best to make it pretty and simple. Since, that's what the couple wants....simple as can be. And everybody can see the love in the eyes of this young lovely couple.Well, i hope my next wedding will be in daytime. There's nothing like the natural light. These are just some of them. I will post more soon. Enjoy....

Mike and Minia Wedding

It was a cold Friday afternoon...Nov.18, 2011, Mike Ogleton and Minia Aguilar tied the knot in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I had the privilege of being the back-up photographer. Mike's son Alex is the official photographer. :)

Here's the Lafrinere Family for 2011. It's hard to believe that it's only a year but the girls are so grown up looking. And the eldest girl is getting married soon! I'd be doing her wedding photos too. Man, I feel old, ugh! enjoy....
