I’ve always been interested in photography and I just enjoy taking photos of the things I see around me using the mobile phone camera, iPad, point and shoot or the DSLR. I just enjoy doing it. I got even more interested when I met Heidi Aquende through a common college friend, the photographer who shot our family portraits. Not only she is also a Lasallian, Heidi and I (even Brio) easily got acquainted the first time we met.
Heidi’s really talented and creative. She makes everything look beautiful or I’d say she makes everything desirable to look at. Her passion can be seen on her works. Based on experience, she creates a “magical” connection between her camera and subject. She is also comfortable to work with (well at first I was conscious because I’m also always behind the camera). I don’t know how else I’ll describe how good she is with her craft, but I truly got inspired by Heidi.
Our meetings made us learn about each other a little bit on a personal level. I learned that we have something in common, being a mom. She is a mother to a beautiful and cute little girl Issa. We were even able to share our parenting skills. She and her husband also got curious about our lives as educators which Brio and I gladly shared with them.
Meeting and knowing Heidi made me realize that maybe I should go back to taking pictures. Doing something I love to do besides being a nanay and a teacher.
Now, it’s officially summer break for me, I might as well take my shots. What do you think about that? 😉
