It’s this time of year again here in Shanghai… the time when many Expats start preparing for moving on / moving home in the summer, and collecting memories of their time here. And what could be better than beautiful family photographs to remember their time in Shanghai by?
This beautiful friend of mine will be dearly missed – I loved capturing these memories for her and her family. Here’s a sneak peek!
I love ‘Fresh 48’ sessions – they are always the ones that truly steal my heart. As the name suggests, I will come to the hospital within the first 48 hours of your baby’s life, and capture everything you will want to remember: how tiny your baby looks in that hospital bassinet, the flaky fingers on tiny hands, the wrinkly knees, that little swirl of hair on the top of their head, the hospital bracelet around this tiny ankle… You will want to remember how you felt holding your brand new baby – so in awe and so full of love – and how you felt watching your partner hold them and gaze at this perfect little miracle. These first images will hopefully bring these feelings back and make you melt all over again every time you look at them!
I can’t believe I never posted some more images of this gorgeous couple and their beautiful Beloved session! When their 10th anniversary was coming up, they decided to do something special – to put on their original wedding gown and tux, and take the time out to focus on each other, with me capturing some special memories for them. We even recreated their first dance: a tango to the White Stripe’s ‘Seven Nation Army’ – how cool is that?!
Should you still be looking for the perfect X-mas-gift for your significant other, why not consider taking the time out for a couples photography session with me, so you also finally have some moments to focus only on each other and capture beautiful memories at the same time?
This gorgeous family wanted to have their family photography session at a location that would always remind them of their time in China. A temple with those typical Chinese roofs, lots of red doors, and the whole family spending a lovely morning together – I’d say mission accomplished, wouldn’t you?!
This family is about to welcome not one, but two additions! And the soon-to-be big brother is so excited and well-prepared – here he is reading a book with his parents about all the things he will be able to teach his younger siblings in the future. Also, don’t you agree that his mom is the definition of ‘pregnancy glow’?! I can’t wait to see them with their twins soon for their newborn photography session!
This Mom contacted me because she wanted her little boy to have some beautiful photos with his Grandpa. So we planned their family photography session for the time when Grandpa was visiting, and everyone spent a gorgeous day on the Shanghai Bund together. Here’s a sneak peek!
Newborn photo sessions at home are so much fun – especially when the big sister is a) so very proud, and b) such a gorgeous, happy little girl!
A sneak peek of a super fun and relaxed family photo session on the Shanghai Bund and surrounding area.
I had a great time photographing this beautiful family, can’t wait to show you the rest!
For a ‘Fresh 48’ session, I come to the hospital to photograph your little one within the first 48 hours of his or her life. A wonderful way to memorise this beautiful and emotional time, a brand new life.
This little boy was exactly 24 hours old when I met him. In fact, he was just given his very first bath when I arrived at the hospital, which he wasn’t very impressed with at the time. But as you can see, he was very content afterwards – and he sported a very handsome head of freshly washed and perfectly soft hair for his first photo shoot!
Welcome to the world, little man!
Recently my girls found this huge leaf of a palm tree that had fallen into the pool in our compound.
Of course the wanted to take it home – and I didn’t have any objections as long as I also got to play with it a little… ;)
So here are some fun portraits and self-portraits from our ‘playtime’!
