singapore family photographer | trika
Just over a week ago I was able to spend some time with baby Trika in my studio. Her family was mainly looking for some good shots of their cute little girl. Sounds easy enough? It was. We spent just over 30 minutes letting Trika crawl around, putting her in place, taking a picture, and repeating. In the end we had a full set of great photos of baby Trika (who is about to turn one!). She did her best to show her serious side, but we got some smiley, playful ones in there too.
When I edit photos, I always pick a few to put into black and white. Some photos just look better in black and white - the way it removes the focus from the surroundings and hones in on the subject and emotion of the photo. ALL of Trika's photos looked amazing in black and white. With her perfect skin and her big dark eyes that just shine when she looks into the camera, she just glows in black and white. It seriously made me gasp when I saw this photo below of her.
I've posted a few black and white and a few colors, I'll let you decide... Please feel free to leave a comment to let me know what you think!
singapore family photographer | natural
I can't begin to choose my favorite image from this family photo session with baby James and his parents. It was one of those photo shoots where I had in mind the various things I wanted to photograph in my mind, but when they stepped into the studio it all changed. Everything they did was so lovely, their natural interactions made them such beautiful and easy subjects.
It was a typical baby shoot - James took three breaks for milk :) It was just an ordinary day playing and snuggling with mom and dad for him. He was awake and happy most of the session and took one short nap for a few sleepy time photos and one amazing shot with mommy. With all the milk breaks we ran close to two hours, but all in all came away with 57 amazing photos. My favorites and a video follow:

singapore family photographer | going back
I am so excited about this. This photo is an all time favorite of mine. It was taken a long, long time ago in Sonoma, California when I was still taking photography classes and planning my own wedding. I am in absolute love with the composition and flow as well as the emotion it evokes in me each time I see it. At the time I wasn't able to capture the perfect exposure, but with my new computer and today's editing software I have brought back the detail that has always been missing.
I've been playing around with the photo this morning, putting different finishing touches on it. I haven't decided which version I like best, although I have definitely decided it is going on canvas and hanging up somewhere in my house.
Which finish do you like best? Please comment or leave me a message on Facebook!

singapore family photographer | only here for a little while
Thrilled with the results of the hour or so family photography session with these three kiddos last week AND what a good time it was :) While big sister was the perfect model and loved her time in front of the lens, the other two had their own opinions about it. Big brother was in and out on whether he wanted pictures taken. As it turns out, the struggle he did put on made for some of the best photos and he came around enough to get some seriously amazing shots. It's funny how that works out. Cooperative or not, it is still possible to capture some great images. We ran up again little sis' nap time but still managed to get her in for a few and since I had some leftovers from a mini shoot I did of her alone just a few short months ago, I tucked those into the end of the slideshow too.
As I was going through the images a song came to me that seemed absolutely perfect for these three siblings. A long time favorite of mine, luckily I know the parents like country music :) Hope the images and song speak to them as they do to me...
