The lens through which you see your childhood
Ever since I began photographing families, this precious family has been doing their yearly portraits with me. There is just something about families trusting me and growing together with me, that makes my heart sing. To be able to create memories, to grow with them, to connect and get to know their little ones - this really reminds me of why I love doing what I do.

in the happiest sentence I could ever write.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is even if we are apart, I’ll always be with you.

The thing about dark skies, and rainy days is that,

It has been 5 weeks since the Malaysian government enforced Movement Control Order; and more than a month since I stepped out of the house. As much as my introverted soul loves it, I must say cabin fever is beginning to set in. The only thing keeping me going, besides cooking (as if I was back in uni, far away from mom’s comfort food), is looking at these happy smiley photos.
Hope everyone is doing well, staying indoors, and keeping sane. I know that it’s tough at the moment, but little by little, we will weather the storm together.
The Kim family was here on Lunar New Year holiday from Australia and Korea. The adorable little boy, and his doting family were just absolute naturals in front of my camera.
“A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and
very much not ourselves—a special kind of double.”

This family got in touch with me to get some portraits done, before they were scheduled to move back to Japan after spending some time in KL. Their cheeky little 2 year old stole my heart with his infectious laughter, and beautiful smiley almond eyes! He was such an energiser bunny, who couldn’t really stop talking. I love LOVE LOVE little Japanese childen, they are just so very independant, and super cute when they speak.
This was also my last session, before the COVID-19 Movement Control Order came into force. So thankful I managed to photograph them before they flew.
Thank you so much for having me, Matsuo-san. Wishing you and yours a very safe trip back to Japan!

Children comes in all different sizes, likes, dislikes, and temperaments. When photographing them, I really enjoy getting to know these individual personalities, and try to make them feel as comfortable as possible. Little Kate was a serious little tyke with the cutest smiles - when it happens! She definitely kept us all entertained with her antics!
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.
