MARCH : One hell of a ride!
Yes March is finally ending and I can’t wait to share my fun experiences this month. It was a hectic and a very busy sched for me but those are blessings that I thank God everyday. These may be just small things to some but I really do consider them as BIG BLESSINGS <3
Here are some highlights:
So, my month started with an Alice in Wonderland themed pre-debut shoot with a very beautiful debutante, Kamille Plaza.
Had a meeting with Jerrick Macasocol (MCSCL) - a fashion shoot for his summer collection.
And on that same day, while buying things for other shoots and waiting for AJ, I stumbled upon some CRAZY friends!
Did a site visit for the party I’m planning this April. :)
Had a pre-debut shoot with Jamila Patalingjug.
… and for Gabrielle Dacua, her dreamland.
Yes! I have received my wooden letter cut outs for my clients. Some even bought them.
regram from Rae Cabradilla (photographer/artist) Thanks RAE! :)
A pre-birthday shoot for Baby Rayn’s first birthday
Baby Rayn with his very beautiful mommy.
Shoot for Jerrick Macasocol (MCSCL) summer collection. I was very honored that I get to have worked with creative people such as designer, Jerrick Macasocol himself, Miss Ryle Young for the grooming and make up. Abert Catamco of B and B Modeling Management and of course the rest of MCSCL’s team.
This will be featured in Sunstar next Friday guys so please do grab a copy!
VISIT Jerrick Macasocol’s (MCSCL) page for his RTW summer collection!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FRESH GRADUATES! Did these photos for my friends. It’s their special request and did this for them as a gift. :)
Double debut event on a 23rd for Kamille Plaza and Gabrielle Dacua . The teams were divided into two! I swear I wanted to be in both events but I just can’t divide myself into two. IF ONLY I CAN :’( but kudos to both teams though, you all did a very great job! cheers for us! hehe
Team Gabrielle: (from left to right) Raymon Rebojo, Gabrielle Dacua, Albert joey Alojipan and Clyde Inso Chan

My second to the last pre-debut shoot this month is for Miss Princess Antolijao! Oops! sorry can’t post photos yet but here’s a behind the scene
HAHA I know right? aren’t we just fun to be with? hehe Snapoholic Cebu.
And last but definitely not the least, a pre-debut shoot for Miss Sheryl Recamadas. A shy yet very dreamy girl to shoot! Though we had a very little time and the weather is too humid (not cooperating), everything just fit in to the concept we visualized.
My month ended with an intimate dinner and chilling out with my oldest and bestest buds, Erven Cortes, Kleah Ynclino and John Ryan Butaya. Thanks guys! Had a wonderful time, that we didn’t even bother to get a group photo! Anyway, there are still a lot of next times!
And yes, schedules for April is UP! Plans Plans Plans for Snapoholic Cebu’s First Anniversary. Hoping to make it bigger and better! Watch out for it! ;) We will be posting updates SOON!
While I still have a very long lits of TO DO’s to check, here’s something I just did yesterday. It’s a new Biz card design. 1 to do, CHECK!
See? There’ll be different set of photos each card! hehe Too excited to print them out!
So that’s what I have been up to. One of my friends told me to have a break sometimes and have fun. But what for? This is MY FUN and I am always happy.
Well, will be on a vacay for 2 days.. so yeah, til next time! SEE YOU! <3
Take risks and making it happen
Snapoholic Cebu’s first year anniversary is getting nearer and I got tons of plans for ending it’s first year, a gazillion of plans for the coming years (crossing fingers).
It will be all about being grateful for a very very wonderful year and giving back!

“Turn your CAN’ts to CANs and your DREAMS into PLANS”
Doubts and fears first went through my mind when I considered running a photography business. Will this CLICK? Am I doing the right thing? etc.
But then if I keep asking those questions and let those fears and doubts run my mind, I won’t be doing anything productive.
So I reformatted my mind and thought:
I’ll do this and that for it to click. I’ll do this and that to gain clients. I’ll do this and that to make this even bigger and become my bread and butter.
So I did. I did something and not just thinking about it’s downside. I remember when I was still in second year college, I kept on browsing through expensive lenses (even a 5k worth 50mm is very expensive for me already) but then when I started to save money and got motivated, one day, I managed to BUY ONE.
And now, it has been almost a year since I started Snapoholic Cebu. I am earning, LEARNING A LOT, somehow can provide for my fam, started Dreamcatchers Inc. (home decor and lifestyle - soon!), Accepted a event planning project, currently constructing a small and humble studio and shop, been very busy but most importantly so HAPPY! And I never fail to thank God everyday for these blessings! I swear to Him that I will take care of the blessings that He has given me.
Yes, I don’t work for someone. AND I AM STUBBORN LIKE THAT! hehehe :p
I am sharing this because I want to show you that nothing is impossible when you have the will and courage to do what you really want to do. I am sharing this because I myself got inspired by strong and brave young adults who ventured into business, even if it’s making notebooks, calligraphy, photography, fashion designing, styling etc. They are young, successful and HAPPY.
alapaapsakalangitan asked: You are beyond beautiful. Just so you know. :)
ay hala, thank you miss! I looooveee the way you took those beautiful photos. ;)

And ACCEPTED AN EVENT PLANNING PROJECT!
I have been loving, uhh no, DYING to try and do some event planning and decor on sets!!! I have been into a lot of debut parties already because of my Snapoholic works and I always ask people about budgets and expenses. One thing I realized is that some of the design doesn’t give justice to the budget the client has given them.
For me, yes I don’t have any experiences with event planning but I know the expenses well especially expenses for set decors, materials and stuffs because I studied Interior Design for 4-5 years!
Well, I am just too excited for this new project! Quite hard for a first timer though since the debutante is a guy. OH YES! And the party will be manly and fun. Will post about is SOONEST! ;)
WISH ME LUCK!
