I’d forego writing about this because I can always just send pictures to Idah.
And they can take care of sharing it, you know?
But there are few times in this life that move us, and I guess I can say that this particular night made our hearts skip a little beat.
Which is why I cannot not write about it.
On the weeks leading to this debut Drinne’s mama, who happens to be an industry peer and a good friend
Was constantly on my messenger asking for my help about our pre debut shoot and the debut itself.
You could say she was indirectly telling me I might have trouble taking pictures
Which is really something I don’t quite get
Taking pictures is always easy. You point the camera and click.
Taking the ones that matter, now that is a different story.
It wasn’t at all fancy during Drinne’s debut
Matter of fact, the mosquitoes feasted on us when we took portraits
Just outside of the Beverly View Pavilion
But I guess that’s what we’re good at, we always see the littlest of things
And that itself is already something
Thank You Idah for always having us around ha.
We arrived just as soon as they started the make-up session.
I didn’t expect a gown because Drinne’s mom has been saying she’ll be awkward in the pictures but it wasn’t all that bad.
The youngest. Sleeping safe and sound.
Drinne’s Mama and Papa.
Luckily, I took a few photos before this day so Drinne and I got to know each other ahead of time.
We thought she was really cool.
It was a quick and painless portrait session.
This is Drinne! Up close.
The cousin.
Mama Idah helping out the youngest with his shirt.
I thought I’d include Yeye in the pictures since it we’ve also been there duriing the debut of Drinne’s older sister. It was a very casual affair.
Getting ready.
Here father and daughter with finishing touches for the slideshow.
Pieces of them.
Some more pictures before leaving for the venue.
She didn’t smile because someone called her Francesca.
But it was a quick turn around after a joke circulated the room.
We made use of the grounds outside Beverly View.
You go Drinne!
Hoie!
The gathering for pictures.
With the boys.
And the ladies.
Mama and Papa.
And then everybody.
Here we go.
The Beverly View has really improved over the years. And that is the way it should be with all things.
Made by Periwinkle!
A few details.
Here’s Patricia. The older sister who’s debut we took photos of 2 years ago.
Some guests.
Officially starting
Relatives came.
My favorite picture of that day!
Everybody cried. Including but not limited to your s truly.
