In the cookie of life,
friends are the chocolate chips!

Absolutely love how photography has connected me back with friends from way back when. This gorgeous girl was one of my first friends from primary school. On my first day starting in a brand new school, in a foreign country (Singapore), this girl said ‘Hello, my name is Sophia’, and ten minutes later where we chatted happily asked me, ‘Eh, why you still haven’t told me your name yet?’ I knew then that this friend will be a keeper!

Fast forward more than 10 years later, I discovered that her then boyfriend, now husband, is also a tuition friend of mine, someone who learned the craziness of E & A Maths together with me. What a small, beautiful world we all live in!

Laughter . Love . Happiness

very much not ourselves—a special kind of double.”
- Toni Morrison

twice the joy
twice the love

Photographing twins make me wish I had a twin too. It’s like you have a companion and best friend forever. This pair of little girls were just so contented in each other’s company.

there’s a whole world out there
waiting to be explored!

“Hello, what’s your name? Do you like bubbles? Let’s take some photos first, then we’ll play bubbles!” Usually this is all that is needed for kids to warm up to me.

Occasionally though, I’ll have the super shy, hide-behind-mummy little ones. If that is your kid, breathe, don’t stress! I find that if we as adults start stressing, cajoling or even threatening, the kids also become stressed, and the session wouldn’t be a good experience for everyone.

Let them be kids, we’ll sit, chat, have some cuddles, and eventually, I’ll become less of a stranger, and slowly but surely, smiles will come.

This is my second time photographing this little girl and her family. She is quite shy, but once she warms up, her smiles comes very easily, and she’s the cutest little explorer! The last time I visited the Chinese Garden must have been more than 20 years ago, it has changed so much! It now has so much activities for the kid, and also the child-at-heart to explore and engage with nature.

She takes care of you when you are still in her womb."⁠⠀

How amazing it is to photograph a high school friend's long-awaited little one. The precious little one is already so very loved by his parents, and his big brother.⁠⠀

your smile is my happy place

Oh these gorgeous littles makes my heart smile! I’ve said it once, and I think I’ll say it over and over again, I absolutely love watching kids grow behind my lens. Clients who entrust me, year after year with capturing beautiful memories, also make my heart sing.

Being a creative is sometimes a lonely journey of self-doubt, and constantly asking myself ‘am I good enough?’; ‘Do they like my photos?’; ‘Will they have me photograph them again?’. After spending an hour or two hanging out with and photographing my families, I feel like I’m also an unofficial member. I’ve been so so blessed by clients who have become friends. <3 You don’t know how happy you’ve made me feel!

Watch them grow: 2017

oh the laughter…

This cheeky adventurous little boy definitely kept me on my toes during our session. I absolutely love watching little ones explore the beautiful (bugs and all) world we live in.⁠

“Our love beats stronger because of you.”

Got a last minute email to shoot an almost full-term mummy. Managed to move some things around, confirmed the session, booked my flight tix, flew, and photographed one of the most gorgeous pairs of mummy and daddy-to-be. All in a span of 2 weeks!

Elated to capture so many beautiful photos.

Ended my 2018 with this gorgeous Singaporean family, who were in KL for a holiday. This little boy was such a laughter bunny! It was so contagious that for the whole shoot, I was just laughing behind my camera. He and his big brother were just amazing- they were just so full of expressions. <3

I also have a huge confession to make… if a child cries, or falls down in front of my camera, I’ll always stay put, to make sure I get that shot. Cause honestly, they are just the cutest, and makes for the best kind of photos! #plsdonthateme
