| Helen x Quentin | Perth, Australia Pre-Wedding Portraiture

As I mentioned in my last blog post, I was traveling to Perth for couple days. It’s actually my first time visiting Perth in my life. Perth is such a relaxing city – everyone seems to be having a vacation or staycation. Nobody seems to be rushing to work or having overtime at work. It kind of reminds of Las Vegas, probably they are both in the desert area. The heat – not comparable to Vegas, but certainly hot enough to discomfort me! Nevertheless, the trip to Perth was absolutely fun as I get to see my cousin and spend time with her like we haven’t in ages.

Helen is my cousin and she met Quentin in Perth while studying at UWA. They asked for my photography service to take some pre-wedding portraits for them in where they met each other. Helen and Quentin will be moving back to Sabah, Malaysia – where Quentin was originally from at the end of this month. I will surely miss them dearly, and no matter how much I don’t want them to leave Australia, I will still wish them the best of luck in the upcoming journey together in a new place.

So enjoy the photos!

catching up: | jessica x anthony | lifestyle portraiture

I know it’s been awhile since I last posted on my blog. It’s been a really busy start of the year for me. I got a few photo sessions done, and chinese new year came. Family gatherings, brother-in-law’s wedding, and more parties…going to Perth to attend a cousin’s wedding registry this upcoming Sunday. Days just never end, and it’s getting harder to find time to process all the photos I have taken over the month. Finally, here are some to share with you all.

Jessica is my dear friend since elementary school. I have known her for 18 years i think. lol wow, that’s a really long time. She is probably the only mate who I kept contact with for the longest! Jessica wanted to take some portraits with Anthony her boyfriend for years who she met while studying in Melbourne. So here they are!

| jeretine:jenika x modern portraiture | friends

Jeretine and Jenika are co-workers and good friends. Personally, I find it hard to be close friends with colleagues. I always thought only schoolmates can become close friends, but I guess it’s not entirely true after seeing how well Jeretine and Jenika get along when they are out of work – I see their friendship as precious. Sometimes I wish I could have a colleague who is also my good friend, and if I do, that will be REALLY cool!

| christine x maternity | at 29 weeks…

I went to visit Christine again, who’s in her 29 weeks of pregnancy! Her tummy was slightly bigger than it was at 24 weeks. Took some portraits for her and also for her beautiful daughters Ava and Milan. I thought housework will probably be hard for her to do at this point of her pregnancy since her tummy is probably quite heavy and it could be in her way to reach things. But, Christine seemed really fine with it and she even made the beds at home (as in changing bedsheets!!!) wouldn’t that be a little heavy-duty for a pregnant woman? I wouldn’t be able tell as I haven’t had that experience yet, but when I reach that point of my life – I should! Ava, Christine’s 3 year old daughter, was extremely welcoming and talkative on this day, probably she was more comfortable with me compared to my last visit. She is absolutely one adorable girl, and I’ve become her buddy for sure after this visit!

| christine x pregnancy | at 24 weeks…

Christine is currently a mother of 2 beautiful girls (Ava and Milan), and she is now expecting baby no.3 coming! She is at her 24 weeks at the moment, and I can’t wait to go back and see her 7 and 8-month belly. Seeing Christine’s pregnancy makes me wonder how I would turn out as a mother when my pregnancy comes in the future. Would I be as beautiful as Christine? I feel like body changes due to pregnancy do not matter to me anymore, as I think being a mother will turn any woman becomes naturally beautiful.

|me x portraiture| feel the music

It’s been awhile since I last updated my work with you – yea I have been really busy as Hubby and I went on a trip to China + Hong Kong + Malaysia in the last month with his family. It was relaxing and fun – and really really happy to see my family + friends back at home.

I have also went for a weekend photography trip to the Otways + 12 apostles. Taken lots of landscape photos during that particular weekend and everything was taken in film! The objective of the trip was to practice our photography in film and to train ourselves to count on quality not quantity. It really was a great lesson for me, and I have certainly become a better photographer after this trip. The anticipation of the outcome was really an excitement, and I felt a little relief after seeing the developed films in front of me. I would love to share my film photography with you all but I still have yet to get them scanned!

As for now, here is a photo that I have done which was inspired by Hip Hop Music.

Stay tuned to see my film photography work…
