Most words in Tagalog are deeply defined by the meaning of each affix. Learning Baybayin (Philippine script) helped me better appreciate the language (thank you @kpsie_beta š«¶š½). Ka- (į) sticks out to me the most because it represents relationship & connection; two spirits joined together to form one.
Throughout this trip Iāve been both a witness to and a spirit of a deeper connection. Here are a few postcards of what that looked like š¤
Entering the later half of my 20s feeling freer and fuller š¤

Logarithmic Footage (Log) is a shooting profile that gives your footage more dynamic range. Thereās potential for depth, flexibility, and interpretation. This year felt a lot like that; just taking more ownership of my life and allowing for more creativity āØ
(tbh I think this would look better as a 4:5 lol oh well)

Trying something different (again). Iāve always loved putting effort into my outfits. I finally curated (and minimized) a closet I love and feel the most confident in - allow me to be your simple fits guide ā£ļø
Itās been a minute since I filmed something outside of work. Sometimes I think itās needs to be some grand thing but just a casual day working from home is more than enough. More so refining different angles and transitions to get back into the groove - I started watching Shrinking, and I loveee the cinematography.
Tysm to the nephew @boogieofparty for helping me film and being in front of the camera lol š¾
What a creative way to try out Peetās Coffeeās new Spring Menu. I never thought to pair lavender with my matcha or coffee, so this might just be my go-to flavor of the season! #peetspartner

Iām really enjoying this phase of my creative journey, slowly bridging the gap between my love for videography and my career pivot into brand management. To me, wedding videography is a testament to authentic storytelling. Itās not just about a pretty aesthetic; itās about prioritizing consistency, intentionality, and ensuring every moment stays true to a coupleās identity. So honored to help capture this chapter of Radlyn & Ryanās love. Looking forward to sharing more of my work this year!
Big shout out to @momentsbyadg for helping me shoot!
Sebastian (@cuppofsebb ) is a first generation Mexican American who owns a coffee business that offers full-service espresso for varying events.
We booked a private event with the initial intention to learn the basic techniques of latte art. We left with so much more.
Whether it was Sebbās 10+ years of experience in the industry, naturally kind personality, or both, he created a safe and thoughtful space: from his warm welcome, to his genuine affirmations. He held our curiosity with ease and supported us at every step of the process.
Sebbās goal is to, āleave people happier than when they first arrivedā. I can defs confirm that he did exactly that.
Countless hands carefully craft and prepare coffee long before it ever reaches your cup. This journey serves as a gentle reminder to slow down and appreciate the intricate process of learning.
Too deeper connections and the art of learning āļø
So much appreciate and love to Sebb! Please check him out š«¶š½
& thank you to the best buds for the Christmas gift @kingdanhearts@jordanofparty
Iāve said it a thousand times, but capturing special moments for people is such an honor š„
What started as a fun little hobby for myself has turned into something I never imagined: helping people relive their favorite memories. I wouldnāt be doing this if a few people hadnāt asked to capture important moments for them.
Thank you to everyone who has trusted my vision, offered me patience, and let me into your big milestones. Iāve learned so much in this process, and I still have so much to learn. Looking forward to more in the new year āØ
Special thank you to @seanskii for being a wonderful mentor and business partner lol. And @omgjerbear for being my right-hand at 2 of these weddings.
Fortunately, Iāve already been booked for some client work in the new year. But unfortunately, Iām putting a pause rn on taking more - ya gurl needs to focus on planning her own wedding haha.
Much love and see you in 2026 š«¶š½
Stepped away from posting creative work on social media because I did the silly thing of equating my potential with what I was able to output on this platform. Hereās your friendly reminder that perception will make or break the way you value creativity (and yourself). š«
As always, Iām so thankful for the opportunities Iāve had this year. What a privilege it is to be tired.
