It was a packed day with a afternoon party shoot followed by Lee Lee and her kids. Lee Lee’s baby is just over 6 months and she’s quite a bundle of energy when she feels like it. As she’s not yet over a year, there are limited actions you can get the baby to do so toys, the simple studio floor and perhaps a sibling or parent. Anyways, with babies, we always suggest to take the shoot slow and give them enough breaks otherwise they will break and the crying could derail the session.
With a couple of toys, both kids got pretty natural in front of the camera. Don’t expect to hit off immediately — any relationship, even between subject and photographer will need work and the first couple of shots may be awkward.
When Dila called me to book an engagement session, she had her heart set on KL PAC and Sentul Park. Unfortunately, the shooting permits were beyond her budget. Even though I did offer to pay some of the fees, she decided to have her shoot in Lake Gardens.
The evening before, a massive thunderstorm hit and I was praying that no large trees would be uprooted. Prayers were definitely answered — it was a lovely and nice day and despite the potential for bad traffic due to road closures, there were none!
We had good fun and we managed to finish on time before the massive evening crowd arrived and packed up the place. To the family and photographer who was shooting nearby, I thank you for being gracious in lending us the bubble blower. We didn’t use it much but I love the shots I got from them. If you’re the photographer, drop me an email and I’ll buy you coffee!
Just this June, we had the privilege and joy of shooting Michele and Michael. Michele’s about 32 weeks into her pregnancy and they actually came all the way up to KL from Singapore. We’ve done almost all our portraiture and other photography either on site or in places of the couple or individual’s choosing, i.e. KLCC, nearby parks, hotels, or homes so this was the third time we actually used the “home” part of our home studio.
After our own little miracle from God, it’s a totally different experience shooting another expectant couple. Of course, if they’re first-timer’s like we were then they do appreciate some of our experiences and challenges we faced and still face. We had lots of fun over cheese tarts and poppy seed cakes, books, iPads and toys! The entire shoot was done at our little home studio. Thanks again to Michele and Michael and we pray little Michaela will be delivered just fine, in the hands of our good Lord.
We had a fun time shooting a lovely couple who are amazingly in love with each other and their Savior. We had drinks, cheese tarts and a lot of fun shooting, both indoors and outdoors. I shot this while my beautiful wife was shooting — hey, we’re a team and we both shoot! Photos from that wonderful session coming up soon.
