first off, i know it’s a day late. but moms out there, happy mother’s day! u guys rock!
i wanted to seize this opportunity to say how grateful and appreciative i am of my mom. there’s so much to thank you for, some really personal that i’ll keep to myself and some not so…
i’ll start that list off by thanking you for:
- not letting us drink soda everyday, but only on special occasions – so we don’t turn into obese diabetics.
- putting me into the best schools – for us to have a chance at a better future and hopes of high paying jobs. i failed miserably in school, my fault, not yours. but the future’s not so bad, i was able to buy a house and the job’s alright, can’t complain.
- having us eat oats every single morning. i still do – so my number 2′s are regular, and i still am.
- writing me that letter when i left the country and was at lost as what to do with my life – probably the most incomprehensible (since you don’t really write letters) but at the same time, the most loving and touching letter i’ve ever read. it got me through my darkest hours.
love you, ma.

a broken down parking lot, a sports car, a couple of dolls and shot at the tail end of the golden hour – just some of the ingredients you need for an aftershoot. happy friday everyone, it’s been a long week and waking up today somehow i’m deprived of speech, so i’m gonna let the pictures do the talking for now.









replica dolls of the bride and groom, i don’t want them to feel left out, so small shoot for these guys.



and after the shoot, crepes! ahhh yes, they sure hit the spot.
yeah i know, i’m hungry too dy. thanks for assisting big guy.
