Lina at 76 – SALT AND BLEACH

I can still recall how inexperienced I was when I took
pictures of Riella’s 1st born many years ago. We’ve known
each other from work and when I decided to pursue photography
full time, she was one of those who trusted me early.
When her brother got married, she also recommended me.

Earlier this month, she asked if I can take family portraits in
Casa Gorordo. Their mom was turning 76, and was going to have
an intimate celebration right after.

Thank You Riels for letting me capture these.

Welcome to Casa Gorordo.

The museum was very, very nice.

Such a happy, happy day.

Happy Birthday Ma’am Lina.

This house is nicely preserved.

And the gentlemen as well.

Thank You every body.

And here are some pictures of the party.

No formal program but we tried.

I forgot to eat cake.

Someone also celebrated her birthday.

Happy Birthday Riels!

Such a special, special day.

Thank You Riella for having me around.
