Last Friday, I set out on a very hot afternoon with M. & G.  They are a lovely young couple who are expecting their first baby and wanted to celebrate their maternity. We had postponed the session and I’m so glad we did because the weather and the view of Hong Kong were perfect.

My head is still spinning after today’s absolutely amazing Quickee Sessions! I can’t believe I had so many photogenic and gorgeous children (and parents) in my Studio today… and so much attitude… boy… I tell you… today’s kids are really something

The day started really early for my dear husband and I as we put the finishing touches to my brand new Studio space and set up the lighting just in time for the first visitors. I really love working in my new space with enough room for everyone to be comfortable (kids, parents, helpers and me)… and everything is so well organised… thank you Rehouven for your wonderful inspiration.

Anyway… enough about the studio… let’s get down to what everyone wants to see… and that’s pictures!  Below is a highlight of my favorites from today… I’ll update them with a few more when I finally get around to finishing the post processing of all the shoots

I absolutely love the view we have of Hong Kong Island from “over here” in Discovery Bay…  on a nice clear day, we can see from Kowloon right over to Kennedy Town!

The way the sun plays with the sky, lighting it up with amazing colors at sunrise, or when it bursts into “flame like” oranges and reds on the Central buildings at sun set… and of course, the absolutely stunning vibrant night lights when the sun has gone on to wake up our fellow humans on the other side of the planet.

I initially took these for my own house and my hubby’s new office.. but after the success they had with my friends, I thought that maybe some of you out there would also like a copy of these panoramas to brighten up your walls…  here are three different times of day to cater for every mood… together with a few examples of what they look like once up on a wall.

If you’d like to order a copy, please visit my deelee store (click here)… and if you enter SKYPROMO when checking out, you will receive a special 500 HKD discount until August 31st!

Just before my “holidays”, I photographed this little angel on a very HOT July morning and had promised more… so here they are!

As is often the case with child photography, Mom and I set out with one idea and came back with something a little different. Mom wanted a nice big smile and this little one was not in the mood for giggles… I mean… photography is a serious matter after all right?… but after a lot of  hard work by Mom and Auntie and even passers by, this little one finally gave us one big giggle.

Little Miss A was only a few days old when we met and was a real little Angel! She slept all through different clothes changes and sets. After waking up midway, she gave us a complete palette of sweet and endearing expressions.

My first day of “vacation” started with a mini baby session with this beauty. Mummy and helper Janet were wonderful helpers and put on a really cool show for this little girl, who joined in with moves of her own. She was sooooo cute and got lots of applause.

Even by starting at 8 and staying in the shade, it was really hot…  but so worth it… isn’t she gorgeous?

… a little sneak peek for now… a few more after her and my vacation

After a series of little baby boys, last week was “girly” week for me with two lovely little girls. It was funny because both their names started with an A.

More photos coming soon when Mommy and Daddy have seen them… in the meantime, a little sneak peak of these cute little faces to make you smile.

I’m really excited to announce a new service starting in July… Quickee Sessions!

Quickee sessions are short 30-45 minute sessions that are ideal for:

• celebrating milestones like birthdays, anniversaries, starting school, first tooth, baby milestones (4, 8 & 12 months), wedding proposals…
• celebrating relationships: best-friend photo, Mummy and me, Daddy and me…
• creating portraits (CV’s, music, online presence, etc…)
• or just for fun!

Imagine this as your creative professional photobooth open once a month just for you

Want to learn more… it’s all explained below in technicolor!

Now… this little chap and his lovely parents really made my day!  Little Mr J is such a handsome and happy little boy, it was hard for me to get one picture where he isn’t laughing or smiling!  This little boy is soooo cute, I’ve been smiling ever since they left the studio !

A little sneak peak for Mum and Dad… many more to follow very soon

Hongyu, Malcolm and I had quite a few meetings to prepare the photography services for their special day. First we met to create a slide-show to be played during the reception and also headed out for an engagement session.

I’ve really enjoyed getting to know them both better and over our month working together have grown to feel very honored to be the documenting witness to such a special event. Not only was the wedding being held in a sumptuous and beautiful location, but more importantly, to witness and document such a sincere and loving relationship is really rare.

On the day of the wedding, it was raining cats and dogs. In my home country we say “rainy wedding – happy wedding”… and let me tell you these two are going to be super super happy!  We first met at IFC where everyone was made even more beautiful… then friends and family gathered in the beautiful Shangri-La for a very happy and loving evening comprised of a touching ceremony and sumptuous reception.

This event was special for me also because I got to work with my favorite assistant – my dear husband Rehouven – who was a wonderful help and got hired throughout the evening for many other tasks.
