Casual Portraits

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Many people like to take portraits during an important time of their life such as documenting the arrival of their newborn child, birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions and so on. Actually you don’t really need a reason – any time is a good occasion to let your hair down, get glammed up and take some fun photos with your friends or family.

I enjoyed photographing these three lovely ladies, who happen to be school teachers, at the Palace of the Golden Horses, Mines Resort recently. We had a dress change halfway through the session, starting off with casual and relaxed clothing and moving on to more dressy and glamorous attire. Here are a few sneak preview images to enjoy.

Korean Family Outdoor Portrait Session

Saturday, January 29th, 2011

Recently I had the opportunity to provide a family portrait session for a Korean family in Ampang, close to KL city centre. Cindy who was looking for a portrait photographer for her children, found me through a google search.

The portrait session began in their house with the girls wearing traditional Korean costumes before proceeding to a park in the nearby vicinity for some outdoor portraiture. We had the good fortune of favourable weather and decent natural lighting, resulting in quite a productive session overall.

This was my first photo session involving a Korean family and it was a constructive and rewarding experience. Whether it’s due to Korean genetics in general or Cindy’s family, I found them to be particularly photogenic. Also the children were lively, energetic and fully of personality resulting in a pleasing collection of photographs.

A big kamsamnida (thank you) to Cindy for commissioning me to photograph your lovely family.

With 2010 rapidly drawing to a close and a new year just around the corner, I will be offering a choice of three affordable packages to parents interested in baby portrait photography. As almost every parent will notice, children do grow up in what seems like the blink of an eye. A portrait photography session is an ideal way of capturing those precious stages of childhood, and provides a lasting memento which can be enjoyed by parent and child alike for many years to come.

Family Portrait Session

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

I love taking family portrait sessions especially when its done in an outdoor environment such as a park or playground area. In addition to all of the benefits of natural lighting, I find that the surroundings are more relaxing and enjoyable for all involved in comparison to that of a conventional studio environment.

Recently I had the opportunity to take an outdoor family portrait shots of one of my best friends, Alicia who was on a holiday to Malaysia from Switzerland with her husband Cedric and their three beautiful and adorable kids.

It has been almost three years since I last met up her family and how time really does seem to fly past so very quickly. Meilyn, who is nine years old and Mikael who is now seven have grown so big in such a short time. It was the first time also that I had the opportunity to meet the new addition to the family, Shanlee who will be turning one on Merdeka Day (31st August).

It was such a joy to meet up with them again and to take these photos as they were so easy to photograph. After barely over an hour of the portrait session we already ended up with a ton of images. Here are some sneak preview images, more will be updated on my website in due course.

Outdoor Kids Portrait with Jeish

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

I recently had the opportunity to photograph Mohammed Jeish and his mom Jameela for an Family Portrait Photography Session in Putrajaya and Serdang. Initially we planned to have the shoot in the heart of KL but had to change the venue last minute due to massive jam.  Luckily the traffic to Putrajaya was smooth and the shoot went on well without a hitch.

Jameela who is Assad’s sister saw my baby portrait photography session for Ariez and subsequently requested to book me for a portrait session. She flew all the way from Johor although she was 4 months pregnant. It was also unfortunate that her husband Shajath could not join us as he was away in Dubai for work at the time.

Jameela it was great meeting you and I had so much fun photographing Jeish who was filled with zest and vigour and a smile like a ray of sunshine. I hope I get the opportunity to also capture your little bundle of joy once you’ve delivered the baby. Good luck!

Outdoor Baby Portrait Session with Bella

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

I recently photographed a baby and family portrait session in a residential park in Klang. Bella who’s gonna turn one soon was fun to photograph as she had so many interesting and unique facial expressions from happy, sad, cheeky, curious to the dreamy look. She tirelessly posed for the camera and entertained us with her singing and cute baby talks.

I know Bella’s mom, Evelyne from my secondary school days and it was great to meet up with her again after all these years thanks to Facebook. The portraiture session went on well as we were blessed with great weather and beautiful blue sky.

Thanks for an amazing time Evelyne and Noel, Bella was such a darling to photograph and I hope you enjoying viewing these sneak preview shots. I have to admit picking photos for my blog was not an easy task as there were too many choices to begin with.

More collages of the portrait session will be placed on my Facebook group – Asha Carlos Photography Facebook Page, in the coming days so do ‘like’ the page to see the images.

Baby Portrait Session with Ariez

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Photographing 5-month old baby boy Ariez was such a dream as he was calm, happy and photogenic which made the shoot more fun and exciting. I was a little apprehensive in the begining as we started the shoot quite early but Baby Ariez was wide awake and looked even more excited than us.

This outdoor family portraiture was photographed in the lavish greenery of Putrajaya and we were blessed with having beautiful weather!

As a photographer, its always nice to get specific request from clients wanting a particular style or theme for their outdoor portraiture as its allows me to create different photographs from the norm and challenge myself further. Assad and Dr Jaseema specially requested for more subtle looking photographs with more of a soft lighting effect than overly colourful looking photos to obtain a more sophisticated and classy look.

So here are some sneak preview photos of 5-month old Baby Ariez with his parents. Hope you enjoy viewing them and feel free to leave comments if you like.

Pre-Wedding Outdoor Photo Shoot

Monday, May 10th, 2010

I recently had the opportunity to assist a photographer friend of mine, Steph Tan during one of her outdoor pre-wedding shoots. The couple, Matt and Jen will be having their wedding in September. Matt is from Hong Kong while Jen who is Malaysian is currently also living in Hong Kong.

There was a two parter to their pre-wedding photo, one done indoor in the centre of Kuala Lumpur while the second done outdoor at a park. I joined Steph, Amru, Angie (make-up artist) and even CM Leung for the outdoor session, it was a fabulous day as it didn’t rain (I guess our rain dance worked!) and we managed to brave the tons of mossies’ and leeches around.

Here are some of the sneak preview shots of the day.

Monday, December 7th, 2009

I had such a wonderful time photographing Baby Shashini and her parents, Vijay & Lalitha during their family outdoor portrait session at the Kota Permai Golf & Country Club in Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam recently. All the photos turned out amazing as Shashini is such a poser!

Hence, you can imagine….what a difficult task it was for me to chose these teaser shots for the blog.  Shashini will be celebrating her 1st year old birthday party in January and I can’t wait to photograph it!
