On February 2013, I started a 52 Week Project where I took (and posted) photographs of my daughters, once a week, every week, for the whole year. I don't count the pics we post on Instagram and Facebook as part of this project, only the ones I took with our DSLR. Posting on IG is ...
23/52: This is our social life now
These two are becoming my most favorite friends! And before you throw me a Billy Ray Cyrus speech ("You should be a parent, not a friend"), let me just say, I'm not talking about parenting. I only mean, we're finally connecting with these two and sometimes, it almost feels as if ...
22/52: Marshmallow Test
This has always, always been the case. At the end of each photo shoot, we end up with exactly ONE picture-perfect portrait of the twins (like the one above), and hundreds of these: These girls. They drive us crazy. They're 10 months old today, but these ...
21/52: Photobomb tips and tricks
In this post the twins teach you the basics of photobomb-ing. When someone is taking a picture of something or someone, strategically position yourself in the background and.. Photobomb Tip #1. Do something totally random or candid, as if you don't know that the person ...
20/52: Four’s a crowd
Week 20. It was Sunday afternoon and we just got home from church, which explains why the girls were wearing extra-girly dresses and ribbons. The dresses were from New York, sent by their Lola, and I was excited to take photographs of them wearing their new outfits. But once ...
19/52: Too busy for the camera
It's one of those days when the twins are too busy playing with their toys to look up and smile for the camera. Fiiine. :) They're turning 9 months old next week! At this point, they like testing their boundaries by crawling beyond the edges of their play mat, and walking ...
18/52: Eight months
The 8th month is such a happy month! There's so much laughter, and smiles, and milestones. We're enjoying this time we don't need to chase them around just yet, knowing that they'll be crawling all over the place soon. Like, really soon, because just the other day we caught on ...
17/52: Bedtime routine
The usual routine works like this: First we give them a bath, take we them to the bedroom and let them play for about 30 minutes. And then we switch off the lights, turn on their lullaby, and let them have their milk. Works like a charm. Usually. But then there are nights when ...
16/52: Coming home to this
As for my day job, I report to our Makati office 3 days a week and work from from home the rest of the week (not bad, right?). I couldn't be any more blessed and thankful for the setup, I guess there's really just no easy way to leave your babies behind, for whatever purpose you ...
12-15/52: Funny faces, greatest birthday gifts, bedtime stories, and last goodbyes
The days and the months have been passing by so swiftly. Tomorrow, Dawn and Rain are turning 8 months old. And in a typical "new mommy" fashion, I can't stop marveling at how fast they've been growing! As promised, here's a rundown of the weeks I've missed in my 52 Week Project. ...
11/52: Happy Babies
The first photo had been my Facebook page's cover photo for weeks. And can you blame me? I can't remember what's making them laugh in this picture. It's probably me jumping up and down our bed, or their Daddy making weird faces and inventing silly words. Seriously, there's ...
10/52: Spot the Difference
I've been waaaay behind in my 52 Week Project, I hate it when I have to play catch up! So.. coming up this week is one giant post with all the weeks that I missed, along with a promise to myself that I will be more diligent in posting the twins' photographs weekly in this blog. ...
