Glitz and Glamour - A Cinematic 50th Birthday

It was not easy to have part-time jobs nowadays due to the pandemic since there are many jobs that got affected. Photography has been one of my ways to support my needs since I'm still waiting for the regular job I am waiting for. I let myself to have fewer clients in order for me to avoid COVID. In the past two nights, my aunt was asking a favor if I can do a photoshoot with her. At first, she wanted to do it near the beach in the town of Alcoy which is the next town from my municipality but all the plans were changed since we all know that there are more protocols to be followed and for sure beaches are not open or maybe some so we decided to take a shoot in her home. I can see how happy she is to be part of the shoot because she always dream to have like this kind of birthday shoot.

Actually it's gonna be her 5oth birthday. Each one of us is always dreaming to have a great birthday though some were not happening but still blessed for all the blessings whatever comes in our life. On this day of the shoot, she was so excited as well as wearing her favorite outfit. This shoot will serves as my gift to her and I know for sure she will love this small act of mine. As she said, she is doing this kind of shoot first is to experience how life to have a birthday shoot like this, and second is to be thankful to God for another year to celebrate by giving her a loving husband and son, and a great career in life. I accepted her request wholeheartedly because she is one of the reasons why I became successful or let's just say one of the keys of who I am today. There was countless help I had with her when I was still studying. In Filipino, we call it "utang na loob" which simply means you still look back, respect, and value the person who was there when you needed the most. This is a simple video and I hope you will enjoy watching this especially to our lovely and amazing mommies out there who also dream to have a photoshoot like this on their birthdays. Have a great day everyone.
