Bangui Windmills, Ilocos Norte 2015

   My parents told me that we used to travel around Ilocos a lot, when I was young. Of course, I do not remember those days but our pictures are my only memories of it. Rap-Rap, on the other hand, lives 4-5 hours away from Ilocos Norte.

Fillmore 2014

   Last April 2014, sister in-law and her family flew from Texas to Hawaii to attend Rap's graduation. We all had a great time catching up and going around the island. Abbie, my sister-in-law, asked me if I could take their family photos and I said yes, of course. I am not really a photographer but I looooove taking pictures.

   I didn't have a hard time taking photos of my sister-in-law's beautiful family. They were a bit shy at the beginning of shoot and didn't really know how to pose in front of the camera. Nevertheless, we still had a good time. The boys were absolutely adorable and funny. They like funny and wacky poses over formal poses. On the other hand, Abbie and Seth strictly told me that they don't like "cheesy" poses. They look sooooo good together and sooooo in love and that is why "cheesy" poses are not necessary anymore. LOL! I had an amazing time taking their photos. It was a sweet experience to be able to take pictures of this gorgeous family. Here are some of my faves......
