My favorite sessions are the ones that feel like a scene from a love story. My goal isn’t just to take photos… it’s to capture the quiet moments that feel like your real love story. AND seriously?! These location is just so dreamy! Gave me so much Studio Ghibli vibes.

Hidden garden moments and a love that feels like magic. 🌿 where some moments feel like they belong in a storybook.

If your love feels like this, I promise I’ll capture it exactly as it is. The soft light, quiet moments, and the kind of love that photographs itself.

Oh my goodness it feels like it’s been so long since I’ve picked up my camera. After having two back to back babies, the youngest at 9 months I am slowly getting back outside.

I met Riho in high school art class and social media kept us connected all these years. LJ, the fiancée is a fellow Filipino! I enjoyed hearing about their love story, their families and their fur babies.

Thankful for people who trust me to capture this moment in their life 🥰

Yesterday’s wedding was truly so full of love! Bobby and Pauline’s love for each other is so hot, even Mother Nature agreed by giving us 109°F weather in Southern California! ☀️🕶️

Love is truly a dream to capture in photograph and with a scenery like that is truly remarkable!

I’d like to introduce the new addition to our family! Asher Martin Scott Dela Cruz, came on July 6 weighing 4 lbs 8 oz and standing 18 inches tall! This was a tough pregnancy but it was so worth it! We are so happy and excited that you’re finally here!

Something different from my engagement / wedding post. I wanted to honor and celebrate the one who inspired me to really pursue photography, my baby boy! In a blink of an eye he is done with kindergarten! So of course best way to capture this moment is to have a little photo session! As always, this little one shows off his best “mommy smile”! I’m so so so proud of his accomplishment during this school year! Mommy loves you Aiden!! First grade here he comes!

Who says you can’t have a first dance?! Just because you don’t have a full reception doesn’t mean I’ll let you get away without doing a first dance in the middle of no where!
