Our Story
Welcome to our website!
To some people who didn't know us or how we started: here's how it goes, and we will never get tired of sharing this. We hope this will also somehow inspire others to do what they love, chase dreams, and find happiness. Cliche as it may seem to be but that's how really how you will feel if you have so much joy in your heart, all you do is share it.
We started way back ago in the "film photography" in high school, turned to be digital cameras in college and in the age of SLRs afterwards.
In 2012, we came up with a blog, THE FRUGALISTA PROJECT, as a result of passion for photography, make up, fashion and you guessed it: frugality. We didn't even know if people are gonna read it because during that time, the "in thing" was all the branded clothes in fashion blogs. To our surprise, people were actually reading it and writing comments in our posts.
In May 2014, a friend asked if we can be a photographer for her daughter's debut. We were hesitant at first but we just did what we love. We had it done, and glad that our first client loved our works.
Referrals came in: weddings, baby photography, engagement, maternity, birthdays, debut. We had a blast.
Surely there are challenges along the way but that wouldn't stop us from continuing what we started.
This business is way beyond the money, it's the glow in the bride's face after her groom said how beautiful she is, it's the look of the debutante after her mother was surprised that a certain style looks good on her daughter, it's the parents' smile seeing great photos of their child, it's how we felt after all the hard work.
