Pet Portraits – Shih Tzu Dogs

Friday, September 30th, 2011

You have probably heard the line made famous by W.C. Fields, “Never work with children or animals”. That may well be true in the showbiz world, but as a photographer I enjoy working with children and animals very much. Sure it can be challenging because neither like to take instruction, but with a little patience the results can be very rewarding.

I had the opportunity recently to take a pet portrait session for Deanna and Rita and their pet shih tzus. These two cute little brothers are so adorable that anyone would just fall in love with them at first sight! Best friends Deanna and Rita have cared for the dogs, Chom-Chom and Baby since they were just two months old.

For the photoshoot we headed to Desa Park City where it’s common for dog owners take a morning stroll with their beloved pets. There’s a cafe there, Fitou Brasserie which allows you to bring your dog as you sip a cup of tea and have your meal, an unusually refreshing sight indeed. Enjoy the photos.

Russian Family Portrait at KLCC

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

This is the first time I’ve taken a portrait session with a Russian family, so I was pleased to have the opportunity to photograph them. We decided on a suitable location which was at KLCC park in Jalan Ampang, KL. The family members were accommodating and easy to work with, which always makes a photographer’s job that much easier.

Of course, kids being kids they were wanting to run around and play to their hearts content, resulting in some lovely photos of them and their personality. As you can see from the following photos, this is a beautiful family indeed.

Family Portrait Photographs

Monday, September 19th, 2011

I recently took a portrait shoot for some relatives of mine as my aunt has been wanting to get a family portrait done for quite some time. Getting the family together is not such an easy task when everyone is often busy with work, college and traveling and so on. It was a perfect opportunity when my cousins all met up from near and far for a short break.

After we completed the more traditional portrait shots, my cousins suggested taking some more casual family shots at a nearby graffiti wall. It was a good shoot and thoroughly enjoyable, especially as the family are open minded, easy going and quite relaxed in front of the camera. Here are some of those shots, hope you enjoy viewing them!

Baby Cadence’s Family Portrait Photography

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

I do enjoy outdoor portrait shoots, especially at beautiful locations which inspire, as was certainly the case here. Both Jun Hao and Elena suggested having the portrait shoot at Cyberjaya, the same location where they had their wedding. This location contains happy memories for them, so it was a marvelous opportunity to return to the place and add to those memories with their lovely little girl who has just turned one year old.

Here is baby Cadence or Cady as she’s fondly called, who was the star of the session for sure! Her joyous personality and cute expressions were just what I needed to capture this beautiful family portrait for them.

Ten Month Old Baby Portrait

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

Say hello to Dhaneshvar. This delightful darling was such a sweet and active little baby boy during a recent park shoot!

With outdoor portrait shoots the weather plays an important role in the final outcome of the pictures. An ideal time to take this kind of photo is either just after sunrise or just before sunset. I tend to avoid taking photographs here during mid day to avoid the harsher sunlight and shadows, although camera setup and post processing compensates to some extent. After waiting a few days for good weather, we were gifted with a beautiful day – it was truly worth the wait!

Do enjoy these sneak preview shots in the mean time, more will appear in the gallery section soon.
