'I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh.'
- Audrey Hepburn

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

sometimes boys just need to be boys.

High energy, cheeky and loud laughter, running, running, and more running. This pair of brothers really had me catching my breath as I photographed them. I don’t know how their parents keep up with them!

"Happiness is being with my sister."

This pair of sisters are seriously the cutest! They laugh and play together so well. I cannot believe mummy actually said her kids were cranky during this session. If this is cranky, I reckon they would be perfectly angelic on a normal day. :)

sometimes being a little sister
is better than being a princess!

ohmyheart!

This pair of siblings were honestly #siblinggoals. It is evident how much big O loved his little sister, and how little O completely adores her big brother!

When little O accidentally poured her bubble solution, big brother came to the rescue. He gave her some of his, even though it meant he didn’t get to play as much. I spent a short 30mins photographing this gorgeous family, and was smitten by the end of the session.

These two little girls have grown! They are such characters too! I absolutely loved hanging out with the Koons again! I first photographed them when little sister E turned one. Gardens by the Bay has always been one of the places I really wanted to photograph in.

When the Koons agreed to have their session there I was elated. Cool with ample space for the littles to run around in, the now adorable two year old E and the sweetest big sister C definitely made it special for me. Thank you Eevon and Jin for entrusting me with your family portraits again. BIG LOVE.

and this… this is easily one of my favourite laugh-out-loud moments from this session. <3

"silly pictures, crazy time, sisters at heart, and partners in crime."

I had the opportunity to photograph Belinda Chee and her multi-talented, gorgeous family. What struck me most was how despite the distance (KL, Kuching, Singapore), the family bond is so strong. The cousins also genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

you’re the reason
I believe in love

oh boys…. crazy energy levels! One of the reasons why I always tell parents with young children to have sessions outdoors is this - they can run, jump, play to their hearts’ content. When they are happy, this means I get the best photos from the session. The cherry on top of it is - spending an hour outdoors not only benefits their health, it also tires them out! So win-win.

... this is LOVE ...
when you're surrounded by all the hugs and giggles.

Two sisters, so similar, yet so different - one with a very sweet smile, and so very generous with her hugs, the other, full of personality and joyful cheer. The hour spent with this gorgeous family, just whizzed by with lots of giggles and laughter (and also mozzie bites)

I WHALE always love you!

Hello little boy… it has been 3 years!!

From farm animals to dinosaurs and now to sea animals (he saw a whale in a shadow on the ground)... #ohmyheart how this little boy has turned into a cheeky, goofy, funny little man. I cannot believe that he is 5!

To think that I've photographed him since he was but a teeny tiny one month old! Dear little boy, as you grow another year older, may you never lose your childlike wonder and joy, and I pray you'd grow to be a man after His heart.

Watch this cheeky little face grow - one-month old; six-month old; one year old party; and two-year old portrait

a fishing day
is the best kind of day!

‘お姉さん。。。お姉さん。。’ もう30歳になったから、子供ちゃん ‘お姉さん’ 言う時、きもちがよかった！^_^
Onaesan, jie, chichi... whatever language it’s in... it always feels so good when a little kid insist on calling you ‘big sister’.

Most of the time when I photograph families, I feel like for that one hour, we are really good friends hanging out, and having fun together.

Time just flew by with the gorgeous Yamaguchi family. who were so natural and easy to photograph. I watched Rikku-chan fish, take care of his sister on the playground, and even had a little scare when he ran up to me with a dragonfly he caught. #ohmyheart.

Can I please have more play dates like these?
