Caileigh Paige: Baptism

December 10, 2011
Shrine Of Jesus
Shangri-La Makati

This was my last event for 2011. It was a very intimate and simple celebration--just family and friends getting together over a sumptuous lunch buffet to celebrate a special day for a very special little girl.

Without the distraction of loud music and too many things going on at the same time, I got to focus on taking photos of Paige and the rest of the family. It was such a perfect way to end my year.

No party is complete without balloons!


I spent a lot of time following Paige around and taking photos.





She was such a charming subject.

The very elegant set-up of the function room.

The cute party favors! Mommy Dianne gave me one of these after the party.:)

When most of the guests have gone, we took the time to take some family photos.





We went to the hotel lobby to take pictures in front of the trees before calling it a day.
