sarah | kids
I just loved hanging out with this beautiful family. It was like I’d known them for years and we were just kicking back on a Sunday morning. Mornings like this I remember what I love the most about my job… people; new conversations, great company, fascinating connections, common interests and sharing new knowledge…it’s people that make the world go round baby. And of course you only have to look at this little subject to see how my work could get any better…and to top it off as well as being absolutely gorgeous, Sarah is just such a sweet sweet girl.
This photo below right makes my heart melt every time I look at it…everything about it is right.
thank you guys for such a lovely morning, and brunch just topped it off, the ricotta pancakes with mascarpone at Halia are to die for! And thanks Olivia for letting us indulge is so much bike speak…just another bonus!
lucas | baby
I met Aimee, Lucas’s mummy while Lucas was just a little bump. After a few delays and lots and lots of rain, we decided to take a leap of faith a capture Lucas in between the occasional shower one Friday morning. I was so pleased to finally meet him, Lucas you will steal many hearts and for me you were just such a pleasure.
It is just a co-incidence that my last two posts featured blue colour schemes, but if you ask me (and I do get asked a lot…what should we wear?) I’d say you can’t go wrong with shades of blue and baby blue eyes! Beautiful timeless memories. 
scarlett | baby
I was really looking forward to this Sydney shoot, this little darling was a dear friend from Singapore’s first niece. I love a baby shoot, I think this age is just so beautiful to capture and Scarlett no exception, come on those bubba rolls are to die for! Fabulous name but she has her mother to thank for those divine eyes. It was such a pleasure hanging out with this gorgeous family (so much so I’m sure they thought I was never going to leave!). Congrats Michael & Kari, she is too divine.
Ed. note. noticed I had posted the same photo twice….wonder if anyone else did. must stop posting late at night…

happy chinese new year to all our singaporean friends. Wishing you a very happy and prosperous year of the rabbit!
i bought this gorgeous blue peony cheong sam for freya in chinatown ages ago and thought CNY was the perfect time to dig it out, which was lucky as it’s only going to fit for about 5 more minutes! I’m in love with this fabric. I do miss chinese new year in singapore, this is the first year I have missed it in 6 years. We did our best to celebrate from a far.
edit – that look in her eyes says where is my marshmallow, you told me if I stood here I’d get a marshmallow and I can see it in your hand, putting it on top of your head is not going to make me laugh, okay I’ll laugh but only because I know it will get me that marshmallow sooner! - I’m sorry my love, I know I put you through camera torture…
happy birthday my froggy | life
my darling girl, two years ago you entered my world, turned it upside down. I truly never knew I could love someone so much. Being a mumma can sometimes be tough and you will probably find that out one day, but all it takes to make it all worthwhile is for you to look at me and say “mumma”. It has been a bumpy little ride so far but you make it all so worthwhile, I love you to the moon and back and then some…you are truly the light of my life. All my love, your mumma xx
in case it was lost on you freya had a red and white polka dot party….I decided the theme also extended to the party food…mini sponge cakes, white polka dot caramel creams, lemon cupcakes, jam drops, champagne berry jellies (for the big kids), strawberries dipped in white chocolate & slivered almonds, white rocky road and meringues sandwiched with white chocolate ganache…needless to say freya was bouncing off the walls for hours!
introducing kieran… | newborn
I had a long pregnancy…Freya wasn’t in much of a hurry, she was induced after 42 weeks… it didn’t really feel long, I took a month off work beforehand to pamper myself and enjoy the last days of full independence…plenty of time to get pedicures, waddle down to Tanglin for chai lattes, shop, fluff the nest and at the time lie in front of the tv watching the Beijing Olympics…it was really quite lovely.
Kieran was not nearly as patient, his poor mother Annie was instead sitting at her desk preparing for a big presentation the next day, not a thought towards the handover she would eventually have to do for her super busy job…her baby due still another 8 weeks away… who would have ever thought he would decide that night was the night…
Here he is 7 weeks later and not technically due yet but all ready to take on the world… welcome little one.
happy birthday zo bags | life
happy birthday zo bags! I can’t believe you have been shining your gorgeous light for two years already… all I can say is “ohh wooooow”! you will always be my second favourite subject! see you soon and be good to your mummy, she deserves it….
Lots of hugs and kisses from freya frog & annie. xxxxx
