Zoe: 1st birthday party

April 18, 2010
Jollibee Cash and Carry

After meeting Zoe during her mini portrait session, and seeing how much she loved Jollibee, I wasn't surprised that they held her party at--where else? Jollibee! I personally think Jollibee parties are so much fun, and this one was no exception.:)

Below are some of my favorite photos from the event.









I loved the colors! And the cake and cupcakes were so pretty!





I have to mention this face/body painter because she's so young and talented. Her name is Camille.  She was at the venue early and stayed even until after the party. She was a hit among the guests! Mommy Janice told me Camille charges a very good price too.:)

Zoe seemed to like the balloons!

Of course, the Jollibee crew had to do their fun dance to officially start the party.


The host was pretty funny so everyone, including the birthday family had a lot of fun.

The whole gang was there!


Zoe really loves Jollibee.

Christmas season starts...NOW!

I've always felt very lucky to be living in a country where Christmas starts as soon as the "BER" months roll in. Yes, I believe we have the longest Christmas season in the world! In fact, I think only Pinoys weren't surprised when "Merry Christmas" became a trending topic on Twitter today (and it's still on the top spot as of this writing!). Christmas is my absolute favorite season. I remember waking up on the 1st day of September two years ago to the sound of Christmas carols on TV. This morning I woke up quite early (well, at least earlier than usual), and when I logged on to Facebook, a lot of people were already posting Christmas videos. I love it!:)

And with that, I would like to announce that I will now start accepting bookings for holiday portraits. I've only got a few weekends open, so I'm going to try to accommodate as many sessions as I can in a day. And that may mean I'll have to set the venue for certain days where I will be doing all sessions to save on travel time between locations. I will only be doing a limited number of sessions though, so if you're interested, please shoot me an email at ging@ginglorenzo.com and we can talk about it.:)

Thank you...

Our first boudoir marathon ended yesterday.  It was physically exhausting (I still have the bruises), and at times pretty stressful, but we had a lot of fun too!  To all the ladies who joined us, thank you so much!  I hope you had as much fun as we did.  We shot a ton of great photos, and I know I will have a hard time choosing shots for your online galleries.

I also want to thank the people who helped make this great experience possible.  Below are photos of the three ladies who were with me through out the weekend.

The very talented EJ Litiatco made all the ladies even more beautiful than they already were.  She seriously made my job a whole lot easier.


EJ's lovely sister Mara was also there to do some of the ladies' hair.  She also helped me choose accesories for a couple of the ladies.

And of course, my sister Pie was there to help out with...just about everything.  Things would have been so much more difficult and exhausting for me if she wasn't there.


Special thanks goes to Allan who did a few of the girls' hair.  And I also want to thank Lyra for helping me spread the word about the project.  Thanks guys!:)

Oh, and how can I forget my husband?  As I said, the shoot was stressful at times, and when I get stressed out, I just talk to Pete. In a rapid mix of Tagalog, English, and Waray.  He doesn't mind it though--I think.  But I must really talk a lot and fast because last Saturday night, he compared my mouth to a machine gun--in the most endearing way possible. :)

Again, thank you everyone! :) And here's looking forward to the next project...
