Creative portraits of Sasi

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 07:30:15 +0000

I got to know Sasi recently when she booked me for a two hour outdoor portrait session at Putrajaya. Originally a few of her friends were to join her for the shoot, but after a night of partying with hardly any sleep, Sasi was the only one who could wake up on the Sunday morning. The beautiful buildings and Malay inspired designs formed a great backdrop for our shoot, and with agreeable weather we had a photo session which was both enjoyable and productive.

Having a beautiful slim figure like hers definitely helps to capture model like photos. Sasi who loves dancing was a real sport and we had such a fun time. Enjoy these sneak preview images of her.

Portraits Of A Family At The Park

Here are some family shots I took recently of Bava and Venkat with their two boys, three year old Roopesh and six month old Pravanash. We chose Bukit Jalil Park as a location to get some shots of the little ones at play and some casual shots of the family as they spent some quality time together. Do enjoy viewing these images.

Here are some portraits of Ameera photographed at her beautiful home at Taman Tun Dr Ismail on a lovely weekend with her father, Kevin and mother, Sarah. Ameera who is just four years old, is full of confidence and charisma with a contagious smile. Ameera was really excited to show me some ballet moves, her fun personality just shone through throughout. Hope you enjoy viewing some of these shots of Ameera and her family.

Suneha’s Family Portraits

admin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:25:04 +0000

Here are some portrait shots of Suneha along with her mother, Mindy and grandma, Harjit which I took in Putrajaya. Before a shoot I discuss with the client about any particular theme, concept or ideas they would like included in the session. Sometimes clients have a specific pose that they want captured, such as the mother and daughter close-up shot that Mindy requested.

We were blessed with good weather for the shoot, not too sunny even though we started late in the morning that day. Suneha was quite the photogenic child, a little shy at first which is not unusual during a photo session, but she soon warmed up to me. Do enjoy viewing these photos and feel free to contact me if you would like your family portraits captured.

Pui Family Portrait Session

This is my second time photographing the Pui family, the previous time being an outdoor portrait session which can be viewed here. This time around I took an indoor portrait shoot of them at their residence in Puchong. It was a Chinese New Year themed photo session, hence the costumes and props.

It was great fun getting the little ones (Chrystabelle and Chrysander) to pose with the chinese lanterns, the red money packets and mandarin oranges at their residence in Puchong and they did a wonderful job. Hope you enjoy viewing these images.

My Daughter Madeline

admin — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 01:51:41 +0000

Regular followers of my blog are probably aware that I have a daughter, Madeline who is now 19 months old. I like to photograph her on a regular basis because at this age children grow up and change at an incredible rate. Photographs are also a great way of keeping friends and family updated with her progress, and retain moments to share with her in years to come when she’s all grown up.

This being my first child, I’m still relatively new to parenthood, and with it comes a whole kaleidoscope of emotions from elation to frustration and everything in between. On the whole it’s a unique, incredible experience and I feel so blessed to be a parent, especially to such a wonderful cheeky rascal. Do enjoy these photographs of her which i took recently.

Madeline loves her caps and hats, this particular one is from Canada

Her baby teeth have enabled her to bite and chew on toys and other objects. Her favourite are spoons

She loves sitting on her green stool whenever she watches Barney or the Wiggles

Here she’s giving a sweet and angelic pose (calm before the storm?)

A quick shot with mummy of course, and here’s a poem by Sherri Lawrence which articulates my feelings for her

Precious Gift

When times seem too hard to bear and I feel like giving up
I vision your beautiful face, the twinkle of your eyes and things of such
The bond we created from my womb to the day you were born
Is a mother and daughter bind that can never be torn
With the strength and guidance of God and the blessings he pours down from above
I want to be the best mom I can be to you and embrace you with all my love
You are as precious as a flower and as gorgeous as a rose
You have been specially made to the very tip of your nose
You are as sweet as honey; such an innocent young child
You are brighter than any star in the sky every time you smile
I want you to be proud of who you are and strive to be the best
Put forth your efforts to achieve your goals and let God do the rest
I will always be your mother first, but I’m also your friend
Your are the most precious gift, that I’ve ever been given

Chitra & Sridhar Casual Pre-Wedding Portraits for Guestbook

admin — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 08:21:34 +0000

Wedding guestbooks provide the happy couple with a great memento to look back and cherish their special day with words of congratulations, encouragement and wisdom from their guests. A tailor-made guestbook complete with personalised photographs and writings offers so much more in terms of sentimental value when compared with an off-the-shelf shop bought version.

The contents and theme of my personalised guestbooks are fully customisable, with the couple having flexibility of choice as to the photoshoot location, album style, layout, wording, and so on. It can be as simple or elaborate as you prefer.

To give you an idea how a sample guestbook looks like, here is a recent one I created for one of my couples. We captured these beautiful shots of Dr Chitra and Dr Sridhar to showcase their Indian wear & themed wedding themed guestbook. This was a relatively quick session of about 45 minutes, just as the evening sun and the busy crowd was leaving Batu Caves. With beautiful weather at hand, both bride and groom were relaxed and easygoing. They wanted a natural look and feel about the shoot… “An Evening At Batu Caves”.

Do enjoy these images, proverbs and beautiful words chosen by the couple themselves. Feel free to contact me if you would like a tailor-made wedding guestbook for yourself or someone you know.

Chinese New Year Family Portraits

admin — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 02:42:57 +0000

I’m posting this a little late after the Chinese New Year celebrations, but I would like to share a family portrait session taken at their home in Kuala Lumpur during Chinese New Year. With a total of thirteen family members young and old, I had great fun posing them. All shots were taken indoors at the client’s house, using available furniture as props. Here are some of my favourite photos from the session, do enjoy viewing these.

The little ones are full of energy but I managed to get them to pose with the oranges for the shot

Jennifer & Ruben Engaged

I had the opportunity to take this engagement shoot recently at Jennifer’s home in Sunway Kayangang, Shah Alam. Both Jenn & Ruben were a beautiful couple to work with, and their obvious love and fondness for each other really shines through. Here are some preview photos of their traditional Christian engagement ceremony.

Beautiful hymns were sung that day

I’ll finish this post with these inspiring words of wisdom by M.S. Lowndes:

Take this time before
The big wedding day
To understand and know
The vows that you will say
To love one another
And accept each other too
To look unto the Lord
Who joins the two of you
He knows the future
He has for both of you
As you walk this road together
In love and in truth

At The Park With The Tan Family

admin — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 06:23:39 +0000

I recently took a photoshoot with the Tan Family at a park in Bandar Sg Long near Kajang. It was a simple and casual photo session on a bright sunny day and we concentrated mainly on shots of the family rather than individual poses. One of their favourite pastimes is to spend quality family time at the park, hence these lifestyle photos. Enjoy.
