Joefe's baby shower

May 3, 2009
Hampton Function Room, Astoria Plaza

A few weeks before I shot Joefe's maternity portraits, I had the honor of photographing her baby shower. Joefe's family threw her an intimate--by Joefe's standards, that is (Hehehe)--baby shower. And although they only had a few days to iron out the details, everything turned out lovely, thanks to Kathleen of Hi5 Parties, who also acted as host for the program.

Joefe gave birth to her second baby girl Tiffeny about a month ago. And I can't wait to meet the newest member of the family when I photograph her baptism in September.:)

Here are some of my favorite shots from the party.

First off, the YUMMY details and venue set-up. The party's theme was "nesting bird." Super nice!


Cupcakes for everyone!


I obviously love the colors here.:)


Joefe bought these pen and notebook, which served as the guestbook, at a store in Eastwood that I love called Scribe. When I first walked into the store, I had to stop myself from buying everything. I'm a sucker for paper goods (stationery, post-its, notebooks, etc.) so this store is my candy store. These look like they were made especially for Joefe's baby shower.

That's Kathleen on the left with Joefe's sister in the middle during one of the games.


Joefe enjoying the program.


Daddy Tim participating in the daddy game, and Joefe getting her belly measured for on eof the other games.


A nice family shot. Soon, there will be four.


Joefe with Joehna who will soon be a big sister.




After the party, I asked Joefe for some solo shots--a mini maternity session. Joefe hardly looks like she's 8 months pregnant here, but these did turn out to be my favorite shots of the day.

Lyra and Ice's baby shower!

A couple of weeks ago, some friends and I threw a mini baby shower for two very good friends from college. Lyra and Ice have been best friends since college and they just happen to be pregnant at the same time with Lyra just a couple of weeks ahead!

The mastermind behind the whole thing was my bestfriend Chen (who is now based in the US but is just here on vacation) who did EVERYTHING from shopping for the decorations and prizes, to thinking up the activities, down to tracking down long lost friends just to invite them to the party. And I have to say she did a very good job!:)

Here are a few of the photos that I took that night when I wasn't busy eating or playing games.

These are the diaper cakes that Chen and I gave to Lyra and Ice. Oh yeah, Ice is having a baby girl, hence the pink cake, while Lyra is having a boy, therefore we gave her a blue one.

Even though it says the cakes are from Chen (and Bondi) and me (and Pete), I have to admit that did absolutely nothing in making them. It was all Chen!:D

Jars of candy. Pete won the blue one.;)

My teeny-tiny contribution to the party. I helped make these.:D
