The Clarkes

New Year. First post. It's been a while but let's kick things off with another family portrait session, this time with a close friend of mine and her family.

Cynthia and Roy COMMISIONED me (yes...my first paid photo session! I must be doing something right!) to take a family outing at the park. These photos are to be hung in their new house so they want pictures of them and their 2 boys, Damian and Darren.

Cynthia and Roy, Roy and Cynthia...You can't find a more fun loving couple in Kuching, and they brought out these traits for a fantastic and entertaining session.

Hot day it was...

Their two incredibly charming and handsome ladies' men. You'll see what I mean...

High Five to the awesome cameraman!

The Loving Mom

The Fun-Loving Dad

Killer-doey eyes!

England-The motherland

And my favourite part of the shoot-when angels came to bless the child and pass out Starbucks samplers from across the street.

Cynthia and Roy, Roy and Cynthia...the shoot was a blast and the pictures turned out better then I expected. Hoping at least one these makes it into your living room walls.

And now presenting, Man of the Year in his defining poses!

Slap 15 more years and some great publicity on him, he's your show stopper right there!

Ladies BEWARE!

Would like to thank my main man, Adrian Law Pang for his help during this session. Without him, the shoot would not have look this good. Bring on the funnies, man!

Baby Ellie and Family

Seems like I'm going on a baby shooting spree lately...figuratively speaking of course. This time, the request to have baby memories came from Ivan and Winnie. Truth be told, this is my first shoot of other people's kid other then my family's. And it was a chance to test my prowess with my spanking new Nikon 35mm lens, which I purposely bought for this shoot.

We started the shoot with some shots inside the house before moving outdoors.

It was tough getting this kid to smile today. She was grumpy as hell. Even my dirty jokes don't work on her. :p
Nevertheless, we tried our best. I had a host of backup entertainers working to make her crack!

Only Mummy manage to make her smile...somewhat.

The "NooOoo....I'm a girl....." look :p

We moved back indoors when the sun came high.

WARNING! LOTS OF CUTENESS AHEAD.

What's a shoot without some mono, right?

Ivan and Winnie, it was a pleasure working with you. Thanks for the chance to shoot your family and to let me have an excuse to buy a new lens. :) Maybe we can do it again next time when Ellie turns 3 and actually understand my dirty jokes. I'm kidding. :)

Leia at Home

This is my second niece, Leia at 4 months old...when cuteness comes into play, and the drooling never ends.

With Mommy.

And Daddy...

The great thing about having nieces is the chance to dote on these adorable little people without having to go through the messy stuff.

Look at me, gushing like a lil old aunty...can't help it...

PEEKABOO!

Your so cute now aren't you. Yes, you are....oh yes, you..ok stopping now.

Dried Leaves

Red leaves stands out against the dead brown ones. No editing needed.

Concrete Columns

Lisa, Laura and Hunter

A session with the twins and their new Husky puppy, Hunter. Taking shots with animals is always a testy thing. When it's not trying to lick your lens its always running around making portrait shots of it really difficult. Nevertheless, got quite a few, very good shots. You can tell Lisa and Laura are truly in love with this dog. It has the most BLUEST eyes I've ever seen.

Take good care of Hunter girls. Maybe I can take it sledding next time. Kidding!
