Bilge likes to see flowers,
Eren likes to bite things,
Together they turned a year older,
So different, yet they’ll always be twins!
Hasan and Ahu brought their cheeky little twins to our studio to mark their first birthday together. Many more shared birthdays to come!
The people we photograph are sometimes families who travel often. They relocate from one country to another every few years, somewhat like Duncan and Mia. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from them, it’s that life may take you places, but home is always where your family is.
More snaps from the home of Duncan, Mia, and Orry below!
A baby’s first birthday is so significant. In one year, a baby can learn how to roll over, sit up, crawl, communicate with sounds and simple words, eat soft foods, use their hands and fingers to hold, wave, and even clap. What’s not to celebrate! Don’t forget, it’s also a celebration for new parents – for making through their first year of parenthood!
Ian and Melanie made a family event out of Louella’s first birthday and brought their extended family to our studio for photos. They are such a photogenic family and we loved seeing how much this little lady was loved on that day! More photos below.
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!
As a Canon EOS ambassador, I get to test out the new EOS R5 and a few lenses, namely the RF 15-35mm f2.8 and 85mm f2.0 macro. I contacted my friend, Joanna Koleth, who is an amazing dance-artist, and some other amazing vendors who made this shoot happen. Soon, we were doing jumps around KL city centre. This shoot is part of a bigger project, one that involves a few other photographers. But that is yet to be revealed. The theme of the shoot revolves around this word, Harmony.
When conceptualizing the shoot, I thought about this word and what it means to me. A quick Google search revealed the meaning of harmony as “the state of being in agreement or concord.” As a Malaysian, I truly desire a state where the people in our land can live in harmony with each other. Our country is full of culture and heritage, and we’ve gone through good and bad seasons since celebrating our independence in 1957.
Learning how to balance our diversity with unity is not easy. Harmony is not just an outward appearance of accepting each other, it’s respecting each individual as they are. It’s also about merging old and new mindsets so that we can grow as a nation.
It’s a delicate dance.
