Raya Family Portraits: The Nasimuddin Family

Over the past five years the Raya festive season means one thing for us – getting to photograph the Nasimuddin family! Just like last year, we did two photo shoots over two days. One for Datuk Wira SM Faisal Nasimuddin and his siblings which include Diana, SM Nasarudin and Marion Caunter, SM Faliq and Chryseis Tan, and another just for the family of Nadia Nasimuddin and Hamzah Alang Tan Sri Azman Shah.

It’s nice to have a yearly tradition like this because you get to document the growth of the children. When I told Marion that I still remember how Liam crawled away from our group photo years ago, she cracked up laughing because she remembered that moment too. Now he is so big! I think it’s the shared experience that makes a yearly photo shoot like this so special and wonderful. We get to journey alongside them. It is also nice to see new babies added to the family each year! As much as it is a joy for the family to have this tradition, it is special for us too. We’ll admit we also enjoy eating the best homemade rendang every Raya at their household! More photos below.

Temple Wedding: Daniel & Prisila

Last month we posted the set from Daniel & Prisila’s church wedding ceremony. As promised, here’s the collection from their temple wedding the next day in Kuala Lumpur! Our team geared up again, and set out to capture some of the happiest moments that took place against the temple’s vibrant backdrop. It was so nice to see familiar faces in the crowd again and each person looked ravishing, as the couple’s family and close friends were donned in beautiful traditional Indian silks for the occasion. View the set below!

The Wedding of Daniel & Prisila

Daniel and Prisila’s fate was brought together by a dental visit. She was a practising dentist and he was her patient. He needed to see a dentist urgently one day and got her number from a mutual friend. Making the appointment just the night before, he told us, “From her profile photo, I realised she was hot!”

He didn’t have another reason to see her after that appointment but she definitely lingered on in his mind after. “She was very professional yet ever so sweet and gentle. She put on a surgical mask and started treating me. All I could see were her eyes and I couldn’t help staring. I distinctly remember being mesmerised by them. I remember having drinks with some close friends that evening and telling them about how gorgeous she was,” Daniel recalls.

Large Family Portraits

Chinese New Year is coming up and that is the best time to get together for a large family portrait. We’ve done so many of these large groups in the past and absolutely love seeing multiple generations coming together for a common purpose. Recently, we also photographed a family of 4 generations where the great-grandparents were 97 and 100 years of age respectively! Now that’s a reason for celebration!

We especially love taking photos at the homes of our clients. This is really meaningful because there’s a lot of memories attached to these homes. Even though some of our clients complain about the houses being messy, that is fine! We’ll always find a corner to photograph. The mess can sometimes trigger a memory too. However, if your family home is in a town far away from KL, you can also do a portrait session in our studio. We have accommodated up to 26 adults in our space in the past!

Contact us for a portrait session for this Chinese New Year. You’ll never regret the effort you went through to make this session happen.
