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.
The Singapore Botanic Gardens made the perfect backdrop for Kelvin and Francine’s family photo session. The colours and outfits they wore looked amazingly comfortable, making them feel comfortable as we moved around the park too. Don’t you just love how these shades of blue, khaki, and cream complement each other and the whole photo?
The session also involved extended family members: Kelvin’s mom and sister, and Francine’s brother and her parents. We love how they also used colour to differentiate both sides of the family, and yet unite them harmoniously. Of course, the one who really stole the show has got to be their son, Caleb. This little lad warmed up so easily and was clearly the life and energy of the party!
We often get requests for family portraits where everyone dresses up and comes to our studio or we go to their homes. But once in awhile, we also get requests like this one from Allison. She invited us over for an afternoon just to capture the everyday moments that she shares with her daughter. We love how casual and laid back this set turned out, with lots of love and affection between mother and daughter. It was a real treat to follow them around the house, just capturing them in their element as they bonded over their usual activities at home… cooking, lounging by the pool, taking walks in the garden, or catching up over a glass of wine. We even managed to squeeze in a pillow fight! It’s often the simple moments shared with family that we treasure the most, and they’re also the ones that fly by the quickest. We’re so glad to be able to immortalise a few of these precious moments for Allison.
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.
It’s a great idea to take family photos during festive seasons… the family is back together, everyone is in a good mood and the house is clean! We’re glad to have the opportunity to photograph Datuk Radzif’s family at their traditional wooden home in KL. It’s a beautiful house with a lot of character and memories. The best place to take your family photos!
