iceland!

Alright so my attempts at weekly blogging were obviously unsuccessful and maybe I shouldn’t have set my sights so high… I apologize to the few people that frequently visit this corner of the internet! But, I can make it up to you with photos from the unrealest places I have ever been! From May 26th to June 27th, I […]

the sculpture garden

caileigh lives in the center of princeton, new jersey. she lives slightly off of Princeton’s campus, but near enough to reap the benefits of cute cafes and college parties within walking distance of her apartment. a short 3 minute drive away from her home reveals identical residential neighborhoods and the shopping centers that kind of […]

miscellaneous february

There was a point in February when my camera acted as my third arm. I was constantly documenting my days, partly because I was participating in a photo based research study, and mostly because I purchased a new camera lens. Here are the highlights: getting to take pictures of my friends killin’ it on their […]

#NEUfriends

Flashback to February, when Northeastern had its only snow day of the semester. It was then that I had the privilege of storming through Boston and shooting with some very talented people. what a squad, right? Though we all attend Northeastern, I knew each of them from Instagram, so I thought it was fitting to solidify […]

I’m back I swear!

ahh, blog sweet blog. Here’s the long anticipated return to my corner of the internet, after the longest and hardest semester I’ve had of school to date. I swore myself off editing pictures as a tactical “don’t procrastinate on your schoolwork” move… but now that I’m free school is done, I can finally go through the adventures (albeit […]

Alex in Williamsburg

Last week, I decided to grab bus tickets and go down to NYC to visit my favorite Hawaii native! Alex is living in New York for 6 months on co-op, while I am enduring another semester of school in Boston. (It’s ok! Come July, I will hopefully be on co-op. Thanks, Northeastern!) After a day […]

Batangas // Beach family photos

We took a vacation from our vacation, ditching the city life for the sun and sand. We stayed in the Taramindu resort, courtesy of my dad’s good friend (the owner). My siblings and I have been spoiled with our beach experiences; the only Philippine beaches we know are covered with fine white sand (Boracay and […]

A Candid Christmas

Things I’m sad about this Christmas: not using a higher ISO (pictures could be sharper), inevitable holiday weight gain, and missing the past 11 Christmases with my family in the Philippines. Things that turned out pleasantly well: select candid shots of relatives, INCREDIBLE FOOD, and SPENDING CHRISTMAS IN MANILA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 11 YEARS. […]

12 days of cookies

Proud to say I’m apart of Northeastern’s fab chapter of Spoon University. I’m photo director of our chapter, so I have the pleasure of taking photos of delish food and making sure everyone’s photo content look good. It’s a solid gig… love being around people that share the same excitement for food. Example: I sent a […]

color in allston

lately i’ve been loving two things in my pictures especially: portraits and color December and the oncoming winter months are filled with dull grays and muted hues. Contrary to my monochromatic wardrobe and dorm decor, I really love expressing colors in photographs. Color can really set the mood of a picture and I was just […]
