Just one of the many things I love about my job:
I get to play peek-a-boo with little cuties like this one!

This morning I spent some time with one of my favourite client-families – and if you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll have seen them many times before – for a family photography session at their new home. I was very happy to also meet grandma for the first time today, who is currently visiting from Denmark! Here’s just a little sneak peek – and proof that sometimes the prettiest light can be in the staircase! ;) Not to worry though, we took plenty of gorgeous photos throughout the rest of the house as well…
I spent a lovely morning in Singapore’s Botanic Gardens with these guys! Despite the very early start – just after sunrise – the kids were full of energy, ideas (‘Can I pose in front of these flowers?’) and laughter, and we had a really fun session! Rising early is definitely worth it!
“Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents felt the same way I did – that everything involving our children was painful in some way. The emotions, whether they were joy, sorrow, love or pride, were so deep and sharp that in the end they left you raw, exposed and yes, in pain. The human heart was not designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that – a parent’s heart bared, beating forever outside its chest.”

It would be an understatement to say that I’m a little bit behind in blogging my photo sessions… This one was a fun family photography session at one of my favourite locations in Singapore – Haji Lane. Some fun props brought by mum, an eager and talented little model, and together a loving family – all in all a wonderful morning! And ever since my older daughter saw some of the images, she and I share the desire of getting our hands on a pair of silver Doc Martens… well, two pairs actually! ;)
One, two, three, wheeeee!
And the fun is even greater if your big brother tries to catch your feet…
This handsome little guy with his adorable chubby legs was a real little sunshine during our baby photo session! He has the most beautiful and curious blue eyes, and his smile and giggle are so infectious. It was a joy to photograph him and his parents! He is also a little miracle baby – but I already shared his amazing story (and a few more images…) in this post.
This giggly little girl loooooved being flung into the air by her dad during this morning’s family photography session at Gardens by the Bay. Her mom said she’s generally a bit shy and quiet when they are out and about, and when there are strangers around. And indeed she made me wait a while (and work hard ;)) until her beautiful little smile came out. But when dad started throwing her? She was all laughter and giggles, it really couldn’t be high enough for her!
Something I love about my job is that I get to watch so many adorable children grow and develop. With my families who have yearly photo sessions with me, and not having seen the kids in between sessions, I’m always so amazed by the changes! Our kids really grow up way too fast, sigh… Well, at least we can hold on to photographs and capture their personalities along with their cute little faces during each stage of their childhood. And how fun is it to sometimes recreate images from an earlier session, to really show off how much they have grown! (Find last year’s similar image here, and more of that last session here!)
Your kids are also growing way too fast, and you would love to capture some beautiful memories like these? Get in touch! I would love to help you with that! :)
I’m often contacted by Expat-families who are about to leave Singapore and want to capture some memories of their life here before they leave. The preferred locations in this case are either outdoor locations that are very typical for Singapore (like a shophouse area, or Marina Barrage with the Singapore skyline as a backdrop), or the family’s home, where most of their daily life took place and so many fond memories were created. For this family, it was important to document some family time in their Singapore home before going back to their home country. I hope these images will always serve as a beautiful reminder of the times they enjoyed together in their home here, and of this stage in the children’s lives – the wildness, the goofiness, the playfulness, the cuddliness (I may have just invented that last word…)!
