From Ribbons and Curls…
To Lace and Pearls…
She takes a step towards Womanhood

Her Gaze denies Innocence,
Yet her Laughter lets you In,
to See the Child Within.

The World is an Apple,
and Yes she’s taken a Bite

It’s time for all of them to See
that Little Girl has now Grown Up

…………..

Who is this fair maiden that has captured our hearts?
Who is she?

The long wait is finally over…

Ladies and Gentlemen… ” Fritzie ”

Maan @ 18

Grand Hotel Iloilo

They say womanhood begins when your 18, but we say it begins when your ready. Even though Maan was privileged by being the only daughter of her parents, that did not stop her of being the person that she is right now. A beautiful lady who is now ready to take a leap and face a new chapter of her life as an adult. And now, nothing is gonna stop Maan, for this is where she belongs and these are the moments that we will remember forever. Ladies and gentlemen, its Maan’s time to shine! Enjoy watching our latest debut SDE.

Elim @ 18

Grand Dame Hotel
CAP Auditorium
Stylist: Dennis Ochoa of Events and Wedding Ensemble
Planning and Coordination: Will’s Angels
Photographer : Vagonozze Studios

When can a girl say that she is indeed a woman? After she danced with 18 guys? After she received 18 wishes by her female friends? or is it after she was given 18 treasures by her loved ones? There are a lot of traditions and practices during a girl’s debut in order for people to say that she has finally transformed into a young lady. But more than that, a girl could say that she is indeed a woman if she is ready to accept her new role and embrace her new responsibilities as she face new challenges in her life.

“A hatchling has turned into a graceful swan…such are the wonders of nature…and now the darling little girl has turned into a beautiful young lady…” And that beautiful young lady is no other than our debutant herself…”ELIM”.

So without further ado, here’s our latest debut SDE…Elim @ 18! Enjoy!

Maissie @ 18 + 1

Preps and Party: Sarabia Manor Hotel
Photographer: Gem Castor
Make up artist : Pepoy Tancinco of Stretch Center

19 candles + 19 roses + 19 treasures

Yes! you’ve read it right. Maissie at 18 + 1. Here’s a treat for all our young viewers out there. After a series of wedding posts, who knew we could have a debut video in the middle of December. Although technically it was not a debut since its not the traditional age of 18 but instead it was her 19th birthday. Nevertheless it was a night of celebration filled with people who loves her dearly. Our beautiful birthday celebrant Maissie, did not consider studying in Europe as a hindrance of having a debut party here in Iloilo along with her friends and loved ones. So what better way to match her beauty and uniqueness, but to try something we’ve never done before, in terms of concept and editing style. Curious? Here’s “Maissie @ 18 + 1″ SDE. Happy Holidays everyone!
