Zhi Xuen with her 1st cake { Cake smashing }

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.

Tattoo artist parents + newborn { conceptual newborn portrait }

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.

Sarah + David { wedding reception }

The lovely couple asked me a favour for some of their profile shoot before their reception starts. When I knew they are musicians from Britain that travel with their orchestra members around the world for performances, I am honoured to be their official photographer on this important night to them, especially to Sarah. It was a night specially dedicated to the remembrance of her late dad by flying all the way from Britain and to host their wedding reception here with relatives that still lives in Malaysia. I especially love the part they perform wholeheartedly in front of their relatives members. It’s one of the most beautiful music pieces I’ve heard live. It’s a beautiful night and I truly enjoyed it too.

 

One fine day with Yati’s family { Family portrait – outdoor theme }

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 : )

Newborn is an art of miracle itself, thus this image comes to my mind when creating it.

Summary: When I was called on the job, Dee asked she needed someone to take her family portrait urgently before going back to their Australia home.  In our line of duty, we gladly accepted the challenges despite the short notice. Emily, her daughter soon find the luxury of toys at our studio and that’s the key to her smile in the photos we are blessed with. One of the best moment we’ve spend with and definitely on our list of the nicest clients : )
