Trial and error

During my sister's graduation, my family and I went to Baguio. I was so excited because we stayed at Manor, and thought it was a perfect place to do a shoot. Weeks before the event, I asked my cousin Merce to model for me and my photographer friend Ronald to help me build up my portfolio in my quest to enroll at SoFA and be a stylist.

          

      

If I'm not mistaken, I packed 8 sets of outfits for the shoot but to my dismay Manor's admin did not allow us to to do our shoot inside the hotel grounds, they freaked out when they saw Ronald's GIGANTIC reflector and thought it was for a magazine or something. *sigh* So we opted for the playground nearby for the shoot and only had few shots due to time constraints.

It was a tad bit frustrating day because of the delays and mishaps with the location, but when with your family and friends surely you'll find a way to clear the coast. 

 We ended the night with a sumptuous dinner with the family. And Oh, I also did the styling for my sister's graduation outfit. here's the most decent pic I can find:
