Rikki Nickaylla Ocfemia Angeles


My! Time does fly fast! The next thing I know, Neri Angeles ( a fellow N@wie whose maternity shots I took) will now have her little angel baptized.

I was thrilled to do it! I have this thing with old clients because I like the relationship we build together. We are first and foremost friends.

It was wonderful seeing all their relatives arrive for the baptism which was held in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish (or more popularly known as Claret in Q.C.). Neri's brother even flew in from Cebu just to witness the event.


Neri, being the very excited mother had a butter yellow color theme. She, her husband Ronald, their families and friends were like a beaming group of sunshine in the church! It was a treat for me making their album knowing that I can follow the color scheme and it actually came out pretty nice. Here's a peek to Nicka's baptism album:

Everything was so well organized, that I had to hand it to the couple. From the cake, to the food, to the decorations and their giveaways, it was trully a very memorable baptism day for their little angel, Nicka.

David Balaoing Garceron


Last June 3, 2006, friends and family gathered to celebrate a beautiful moment. David's Baptism.

It is simply amazing to witness how one child can bring so much joy to many. At St. Michael's Chapel in Fort Bonifacio, David was moved from one set of loving arms to another. He was showered with kisses by Aunts, Cousins, Friends, Grandparents - you name it. Even when the priest arrived, the buzz of happiness and excitement did not quiet down.

The nice thing with baptisms, different generations bond together. The grandparents have their set of friends, Fiel (David's mom) also had her group, David's dad had his PMA classmates at another corner. These are happy moments that every parent cherishes.
I got a bit teary-eyed, trying to think how it would be when my time would come when my own child would be baptized. I'm sure I would be overwhelmed. It made me realize that babies are definitely gifts from heaven. They're the only ones who can bring so much joy with no effort at all.
