Portraits with Riva: Chelsea

Everyone, meet Chelsea! My 28th portrait.

I met this gorgeous gal through Instagram. I've been itching to build my portfolio on commercial / fashion. Unfortunately, I don't know any models to work with around the area so I started browsing on Explore feed on Instagram thinking maybe I could ask someone to photograph. A photo of her showed up, obviously it piqued my interest. Her style reminds me Jenn Im from ClothesEncounters (@imjennim) and Stephanie Villa from (@soothingsista). So I reached out and met up with her. I'm so glad I did! I told her I'd bring my camera so we could play. So here's some of the shots I took.

PS. These are just test shots. I plan to photograph her more in the future!

Congratulations to this adorable soon-to-be parents! I can't wait to meet Mishael Hope! 

Throwback Travel Diary: Monterey & Big Sur

I have so many backlog travel diaries. I haven't even edited most of them! It's kinda sad to think about it. After you traveled, took hundreds of pictures and you just leave it on your desktop folder. It's just sitting there waiting for you to do something. Didn't I plan on putting up a blog or even a vlog on it? There's a part of me that's frustrated of myself, I'm one of those people who suffer greatly from procrastination.  But it's never to late to change, and it's curable, right? Now is everything! Maybe I should post one on a Thursday? It makes sense, #ThrowbackThursday. 

Circa June 2013. Double date vacation with the Tolentinos. They were just engaged then. Obviously, Kev and I were skinnier. Hahahuhu. We seriously need to plan another vacation together, guys! #KeRiMiMan #4ever.
