sweet sixteen for simone

hi there! i just wanted to share some photos that i took of my cousin's daughter during my sister's housewarming-engagement party at her home a few weekends ago. these photos were taken at the backyard of my sister's home. my cousin, her dad, requested to take a few more photos of her during the party since she is turning 16 in a few months. i tried to take a mix of photos for her, some to bring out her inner child and some to bring out the young lady in her. she also plays the guitar so i took some with that too. :-)
happy sweet sixteen simone! i hope you like them. maybe next time we can do a real photo session :-)

lots of love...

with her dad

family summer portraits

last weekend, my sister had a housewarming/engagement party with our big family at her new home. it was really nice & fun since i haven't seen most of my family in a long time.
my cousin's wife requested for some photos of my 2yr old goddaughter and their family so i thought of taking photos too of the rest of the family who also wanted some photos. it had been raining the few days before and luckily, it turned out to be a great sunny day for a BBQ and some photos. :-) of course i took advantage of the sunny weather and took a few photos at the backyard. here are some of the photos that i took and will be posting more in a series of blogposts...

have a great summer everyone!
