Family + Children Portraits

Portraits with the Extended Family: Alex & Wern Lu

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.

Family Portraits: Roy & Pek Yee

Seven years ago, we photographed Roy and Pek Yee’s wedding in Kuala Lumpur. The couple had met in Shanghai and settled there as newlyweds. Early this year, when they were back for Chinese New Year, we got to photograph them again and this time – with an additional family member! Leah is the cutest little lady you ever did meet. We did a series of casual “at home” portraits at St Regis Residences (their “home” for the holiday) and Pek Yee’s sister joined in as well.

These kind of casual family shots are some of our favourites. Most of the time, its just us capturing all the little real moments that happen between husband and wife, mother and child, father and child, or other family members. You look at the photos and remember how soft your child’s skin feels against your cheek, how her hair curls perfectly at the ends, and how her trusting little eyes dance when they look into yours. You remember how beautiful your wife looks when she’s cuddling the children, or how incredibly happy you felt being held in your husband’s arms. These photos are like time capsules of memories and feelings that only you have the privilege of fully enjoying, and we absolutely love capturing them for you. More photos below!

So on a beautiful spring day in October 2015, Ewe Jin got down on one knee and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. The were registered as husband and wife in February 2016, and had the ceremony in 2017. Every year since, they would celebrate their anniversary with a photoshoot. This particular one was extra special because not only were they celebrating four years of marriage, but they now had another little family member on the way!

Ming Lee told us how excited they were about sharing this journey together and we could see that! The couple brought along handwritten notebooks filled with love letters to each other that have been collected over the years even through marriage. It’s wonderful to see couples grow more in love with each other than ever before as the years pass.
