Behind the Lens: Filipina on the Rise | San Diego, California
Okay, real talk - living in SoCal with zero family around can be tough sometimes. But stepping into Second Chance Brewery last weekend to photograph the Filipina on the Rise event felt like coming home in the best way possible.
This was my FIRST EVER Filipina on the Rise event, and wow! One minute I'm there as the event photographer, and the next minute I'm getting emotional because I'm surrounded by the most incredible Filipina women who just GET it. The energy was unmatched, the vendors were amazing, the food was incredible, and the connections I made? Life-changing.
This wasn't just another photography gig - it became the night I found my SoCal Filipino family...

Welcome to My Little Corner of the Internet!
Hey there! I’m so glad you’re here.
This blog is my open diary—a place where love stories come to life, where creativity blooms, and where everyday inspiration finds a home. I’m passionate about highlighting the beautiful moments I capture through my lens, sharing real stories and heartfelt interviews that celebrate love in all its forms.
But it’s not all love stories and photo sessions around here. I’ll also be sharing my creative world—from calligraphy tips and art projects to my favorite recipes and little doses of inspiration. You’ll get a peek into my day-to-day, my creative processes, and maybe even some behind-the-scenes moments from life’s adventures.
Whether you’re here for the love stories, the art, or just a bit of everyday magic, I hope you find something that makes you feel at home. Grab a cup of coffee (or maybe a glass of wine), and let’s dive in together.
With love,
Adriane Nicole
