The day summary { Meet baby Jayden, our first newborn baby shoot starting our year of 2017 ! We decided to award him the best actor in the baby world because he seemed to understands when we asked him to lift his tiny arm or legs (to cover his shy part in naked shoot) , and strike the most poses of all the babies we’ve met so far ! Way to go to start of the year , baby Jayden ! }

Summary: This is a rather different genre of post. Today we would like to take the time expressing our gratitude to Cheryl and Dan for their support to us since their couple portrait, convocation, ROM to their family portrait with their baby boy Caiden. You have no idea how emotional we are when flipping through our client’s photo and finding a loyal customer like Cheryl and Dan been supporting us since the year of 2012 and trusting us from the beginning till this day.
Therefore, we would like to give her back something in return to show how much she and her family meant to us in coming future , they are more than just client but family members to us and we meant this. We would like to give her this very special VIP discount voucher exclusively for her.
Summary: About a month ago, I received an email request from Christine and Tristan that they’ve been backpacked throughout most part of south east asia countries for the past two months, nothing comes as exotic as the landscape of Angkor Wat and they wanted a photo session here, I couldn’t be more excited as Angkor Wat has always been one of my favourite place for photo shoot destination for clients or travel purposes. In our first meeting at their hotel, they were very outspoken and friendly couple which excites me throughout the entire photo shoot session. I love clients that outspoken, communicates and adventurous to try out suggestions from photographers. I remember there were one moment I’ve suggested to them that it would be nice if they could climb up there’s this one gorgeous looking big tree for a photo, before I could re-confirm with them, Christine has already made her moves climbing up the tree, and so is Tristan. Compare to most of Asian couples I’ve met, not many of them will show enthusiasm if you ask them to climb rocks / trees. I must say we were all very blessed that day with beautiful sunny day and manageable crowds at times of photo shoot. Other than our photo trip, I’m also very grateful they’ve recommended me to see the Phare Circus at Siem Reap. It was just truly an amazing experience. I’m glad to meet Christine and Tristan in this unforgettable photo journey with them and hope to see them again, probably visiting their new home in Boston in near future.
Summary : Zhi Xuen is slow to hype up when arrived at our studio, a totally new environment requires some time for her to adapt to but not till when the cake arrive in front of her. It was a messy business. Her cute expression of looking all miserable that the adult are not stopping her but encouraging her to mess up the place. It was a fun afternoon with Zhi Xuen, including the cleaning up afterwards.
Summary: When my client arrived with her newborn baby boy, I knew she’s a tattoo artist but did not knew her husband too is a very popular tattoo artist. How cool is that ! My mind is running wild with ideas having two tattoo artist parent at my studio doorsteps. They were very keen in sharing their ideas too and fun to work with. This has to be one of the coolest newborn photoshoot I’ve done. I’ve also discovered they are both very popular with many fans following them in their Facebook page. I’ve always fascinates with tattoo artist dedication to their art, probably we’re all creating something that is not only to the likes for our clients but something uniquely our arts. Here’s some sneak peek to some of the shots taken that day.
I love outdoor shooting ! When Yati called us for her family portrait at outdoor, I’m thrilled. I love shooting for Malay’s family because there’s something about them attracted me. I guess it’s their quality of kind hearted and humble personality from my encounter experiences. Especially their children seem to be more obedient and polite compare to other children I’ve encountered. It’s their culture I guess. Beautiful lighting goes to people willing to be with the photographer in the early morning : )
It was such an unforgettable experience when asked to shoot someone I’ve came to know quite some years for his wedding proposal plan to his girlfriend. From airport to Cinema on the occasions, we’ve finally decided to do it on a outing journey in one of the most beautiful and popular spot of rice field scenery in Malaysia, and successfully kept her suspicion level at minimal. JC teaches in high school and he has amazing relationship with his students that most of his students want to be part of this so we get many help with much gratitude in our heart. Here’s a video of the whole journey of this amazing wedding proposal video.
认识 JC 已有好几年，当他寻求我的帮忙来拍摄他的求婚大计，我也跟着紧张起来。从原本计划在飞机场到戏院，最终还是选择了非常绿色美景的适耕庄，男主角以郊游的理由将女主角骗出来，还好她没起疑心。由于男主角本身是位教师，和同学的关系相处得非常融洽，许多都要参与，莫名得到很多帮手，一切非常顺利及幸运得到上天的眷恋，担心的雨天预测被我们的真诚收买了。
Summary: One high school mates reunion dinner, which was long overdue for 20 years since our graduation, kept us busy this past 2 years keeping in touch with one another and now to cover one of my high school mates of her big wedding day. Throughout the day, I felt not just photographer but more of an important friend to her and making sure all of the beautiful details of this very special day of hers are all exquisitely fine captured. The pressure felt on my shoulder definitely more than the weight of both my cameras but all in a good way and a definitely meaningful portfolio to our work !
