Back in 2017, I was challenged to shoot a photo series by telling a complete story using only 9 images - no text or audio. With the help of my husband @kevinmalejandro and son @kadenalejandro_ (when he was still small 🥺), here is what I came up with… I’m thinking to do a new one. Anyone else up for the challenge?

I had the absolute honor and pleasure to shadow @kevinmalejandro on tonight’s episode of @firecountrycbs . Watching Kevin direct this HUGE episode (with so many elements involved) and being able to witness and contribute in the process was a DREAM. Thank you @kevinmalejandro , my love, for your guidance and knowledge. I don’t take for granted anything I’ve learned from you. I love you. Also, a GIANT thanks to @kargfm for always going to bat for me and supporting my directing journey. To @tiawritestv and @purpledga for allowing me to come on to your sets that have only strengthened said journey. To the incredibly talented @indiagurley for the honest conversations and also for contributing to one of my best times on set. To @marie_jamora for being the best mentor anyone could ask for. And to all the CAST and CREW for letting me feel like part of team. Watch tonight’s episode at 9pm/8 central on @cbstv or starting tomorrow on @paramountplus !!!

Where do I even begin…. Today, my literal HEART turns 16 years old. The love of MY life. My purpose in THIS life. @kadenalejandro_ , I only dreamed that I would raise someone like you… and have that someone grow up to be a gorgeous, head strong, kind, generous, loving young man. I am more than proud to be your mom. My life has meaning because of you. I love you, Kaden ko. There is nothing in this world that I wouldn’t do for you. Happy birthday, Baby. And no matter what age you land on, you will always be my baby boy forever.

As we come to the end of Filipino American History Month, I wanted to take this time to apologize to everyone waiting for this year’s @fahmportraits session sign up. In solidarity with the #wga and @sagaftra strikes, we had to make the difficult decision to push the dates to the beginning of 2024. Please follow this page for updates and announcements regarding sign ups and the new dates. For any questions, please email [email protected]. Salamat! ** Portraits posted are from our 2022 #fahmportraits session **
