What do you get when you roll a fantastic cook, a restaurateur, a make-up artist, an interior decorator, a stylist, a stage mom, AND a talented photographer into one? You get Olive--a passionate Lagunenia whose heart beats for God and the joy of family. Olive is one of our apprentice photographers in INP Laguna. For months, she's trained and humbly worked with our photographers, blessing couples with her heart and talent. And now, her time has come--INP is ready to add one more tag to this amazing woman.

Couples, here's our newest Junior Photographer who's all set to capture your timeless moments. Meet Ms. Olive Desamero.

Olive first found her heart for the still-frame in 2002 when she first got her very own point-and-shoot camera. The love sprung forth along with the birth of her daughters Bernice, Iya, and Andi. Olive loved to capture photos of her girls--photos of them as babies, photos of them growing up, photos of them pirouetting as ballerinas. Her family became Olive's most favorite subjects to shoot. It wasn't long until she bought her first DSLR, a Canon 350D. And just like that, Olive sealed her fate as being the "unofficial photographer" for virtually every occasion and family event.

The love for family echoed another love in Olive's life: the love of feasting! She and her husband are huge fans of fine dining, which is why in 2010, the mommy also became an entrepreneur and Café Olivia in Laguna was opened. A year after that, her youngest daughter was born and Olive picked up her camera again, launching her into a new concentration: maternity and newborn photography! And that was when Olive finally shifted gears--it was time to take photography more seriously.

In 2012, Olive bought her second DSLR and studied online at New York Institute of Photography. She also attended several photography workshops, one of which was the Purpose-Driven Photographer workshop in Laguna. In PDP, Olive found a deeper purpose to why she shoots. Capturing beauty in her photos turned out to be one thing; making the beautiful God known through her photos was another. Months of apprenticeship under INP molded Olive's heart towards a bigger calling of blessing more couples

and families through the gift of photography.

After training as INP apprentice for months, Olive was blessed with a wonderful news. Just before the year ended, INP CEO John Ong proudly announced the names of the photographers who got promoted. The only lady in the list? None other than Olive!

Imagine Nation warmly welcomes this amazingly talented mommy who brings to every shoot her eye for style, her touch for families, and her heart for God. She's ready to capture your timeless moments and preserve amazing memories for the years to come.

Classy, romantic, intimately-real--that's the touch that Olive Desamero brings to your special day. So get to know her more!
