As one of the most sought after beauty and lifestyle bloggers in Manila, I finally got to meet Patty Laurel Filart  up close.  I was struck by her easy going personality and warmth, she really didn’t have any of that diva star air around her.  In fact, she had a lovely glow to her, due to her beautiful bun in the oven which is quite very soon.  We shared some things in common, we both lived in the same subdivision while growing up and she mentioned that she was a teacher in a pre school located there.

Her idea of the shoot was more of a very casual, organic and natural vibe, I was told by Martine de Luna (who organized this shoot) that she wanted her shoot to look like it stepped out of the Kinfolk Magazine.  Enter Jelito De Leon who is one of the best Instagram and Lifestyle photographers who captured the essence of her vibe.  It was really up his alley since his photos are so clean and beautifully laid out, just like how she wanted it to be. Double that with the presence of stylist Bea Marquez (and all under the wing of Martine De Luna of Make it Blissful, who brought her adorable baby Krista who happily kept up with us),  it was the perfect shoot.

I’d love to share some behind the scenes shots with you, followed by the final set by Jelito de Leon (also featured on Patty’s blog: MakeitBlissfulXJelitoDeLeon.)
