I’ve had the privilege of working with a few photographers and studios over the past 8 years of doing Style Me Little photoshoots. There’s nothing more exciting for me than to see our brand’s creative vision captured beautifully by these amazing photographers.

I’ve worked with our featured photographer, Charm Cataag a couple of times already and I’m excited to work with her again for our very first collab Mini Sessions. I enjoy doing shoots with her because of her experience with kids. She’s very creative, meticulous and I can also rely on her styling tips and suggestions.

Tell us something about yourself.

Apart from photography & kids, i love to draw, cook, organize & watch movies.

Did you have any formal training in photography or are you self taught?

I am self taught.

How did you discover photography?

My love for arts was from my father. I also remember when I was in high school, I would style my friends from head-to-toe. Polaroid was my first camera, then digital cam. Eventually, I started liking fashion photography. I was inspired by Tyra Banks and Nigel Barker. I loved how they appreciated everyone’s beauty. So it became my life’s mission to be able to turn an ordinary person into someone extraordinary. Imagine, create, shoot.

How long have you been into it and how did you learn to do it?

I got my first DSLR camera in 2009. 2011 was the moment I started my photography for children. My son became my first subject. He was really a very challenging subject and that became my training ground for children. I told myself I will not quit until I get good photos. Then my friends started asking me to take photographs of their children too. That’s where it all began. April of 2012, I published my Photography page on facebook and now i have expanded to different genres.

What would you say is your photography “style”?
