On a sunny day in February, Prabagaran and Kawsalya threw a little party for their son’s first birthday right in their backyard. There was a kids pool complete with a slide and coloured balls for water play. They had their closest friends and family gather round. The birthday boy loves the “Wheels On The Bus” song and gets very excited about anything that goes in circles – whether its a steering wheel or a toy car. So the birthday was themed after busses – including the cake! The kids had a splashing great time and it was fun being able to capture their little expressions.
We loved being a part of this intimate birthday celebration for a very special young lady. Despite the limitations on parties, Jade still had a wonderful 18th birthday to remember because she was surrounded by those who love her most. There was cake, balloons, sparkles, presents, and lots of joy that day. Oh to be 18 again! Happy birthday Jade!

On the second day of Raya we were invited to Nadia Nasimuddin’s home for another round of family photos, and boy has her family grown! This would be baby Tia’s first Raya family portrait with the family. We did a few variations – especially since they all had new outfits from the previous day with the bigger family, and made sure to capture one with Puan Sri Zaleha Ismail and her grandchildren!
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.
A few months ago we had the pleasure of doing a family portrait session for Che Puan Sarimah Ibrahim and her husband Tunku Jamie Nadzimuddin, together with their daughter, Tunku Sofia. With different backgrounds to choose from and few outfit changes, we got to capture many casual and intimate moments that the family share in their lovely home and around the compound.
