This family session with Antoine, Josie and their girls, were one of the first few photoshoots we did right after the Movement Restriction Order in Malaysia. They brought some of the girls’ favourite toys and coordinated their outfits. The girls were lovely, and able to speak three languages too! English, Mandarin & French. Even from a safe distance, it was so nice to have human interaction again and to see our studio filled with family and loved ones. More photos below!
Taman Rimba Kiara is one of our favourite locations for outdoor photoshoots. It’s near our studio, there’s free parking, and good eateries around the area for families to head to after the shoot. Joe Yee and Wen Tjin wanted a photo shoot with the whole family since having their second child. Joe Yee’s mom and sister and her family joined too. We arrived at 8am to catch the best light and cool weather. They were such a wonderful family, and their boys were like little gentlemen! Everyone wanted a photo with the new baby cousin / sibling / nephew of course.

Melissa was still under confinement when we did this at-home newborn and family photos shoot for them. She and her husband Calvin were so nice, they let us pretty much have free reign of the house as shooting options! Their boys were so much fun to hang out with and spent a great deal of time showing us their room and their toys – as kids do. When the photos were delivered shortly after, she wrote us a review that totally made our day:
“I loved the whole experience! From enquiry with Wai Teng [the studio manager] to the warm video explanation with Grace the founder. We are very happy with the photographer Chi Yin and her assistant. Chi Yin was experienced with handling our newborn baby and they were well prepared with props!
We are not good with poses but all the photos turned out beautiful because they are natural and we were constantly assured during the photography session. I truly appreciate their tips on how to pose better and where to take pictures around our house as I was under confinement at the time. I know it’s not easy to take pictures with our newborn and two other cheeky boys aged 5 and 7 then.
The whole session turned out to be like a fun family activity with no pressure. We love the photos ! Thank you! Would definitely come back for family photos again.”
We are always so grateful that our job involves meeting wonderful people like them. We always strive to give our best. So hearing feedback like this helps us know we’re doing something right, and we never take it for granted.

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.
A family portrait session is the perfect reason to gather the entire family in one place. After all, if you’re going to be taking photos of your family to print up and place around your household, you might as well invite the others to join in. Grandparents love having photos like these to cherish their kids and grandkids. Very often, the house can feel quite empty for them after everyone has grown up and moved out.
So here are two wonderful ways to include your extended family and the grandparents into your photoshoot – with some colour coordination.
